Powershares Ftse Rafi Developed Markets Ex-u.s. Portfolio ETF Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Apr 27, 2026 Gain 7.36%

The POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS ETF price fell by -0.697% on the last day (Wednesday, 3rd Jun 2026) from $78.91 to $78.36. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.549% from a day low at $78.30 to a day high of $78.73. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 4.35% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -153 thousand shares and in total, 57 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.47 million.

The ETF lies in the upper part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $79.06 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 13.17% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $84.10 and $89.47 at the end of this 3-month period.

PXF Signals & Forecast

The POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $78.04 and $75.37. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, June 02, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.697%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS ETF

On the downside, the ETF finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $72.91 and $70.89. There is a natural risk involved when a ETF is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the ETF then may fall to the next support level. In this case, POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS finds support just below today's level at $72.91. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $70.89 and $69.69.

In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this ETF. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.430 between high and low, or 0.549%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.84%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $75.17 (-4.06%) (This ETF has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 1 day ago.)

Trading Expectations (PXF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 4th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 4th we expect POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS EX-U.S. PORTFOLIO to open at $78.46, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $77.90 and $78.82, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.92 (+/-1.19%) up or down from last closing price. If POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS EX-U.S. PORTFOLIO takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.19% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $78.42 (0.08%) than the support at $72.91 (6.96%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS EX-U.S. PORTFOLIO ETF A Buy?

Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Buy candidate.
