POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS ETF downgraded from Buy Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Friday trading session
(Updated on Jul 31, 2026)
The POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS ETF price fell by -0.663% on the last day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026) from $77.63 to $77.11. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.24% from a day low at $76.45 to a day high of $77.39. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 2.3% 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 -82 thousand shares and in total, 77 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.91 million.
The ETF is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $73.85 and $78.19 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
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 $76.10 and $76.04. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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 Thursday, July 30, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.663%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, July 28, 2026 in the short-term chart.
Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

Is POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS EX-U.S. PORTFOLIO ETF A Buy?
POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI DEVELOPED MARKETS holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold candidate.
