The FlexShares Quality Dividend Defensive ETF price fell by -0.295% on the last day (Monday, 13th Jul 2026) from $88.12 to $87.86. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.689% from a day low at $87.76 to a day high of $88.36. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.65% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 2 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 4 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $322.71 thousand.

The ETF lies in the middle of a narrow and weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 3.85% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $89.28 and $93.22 at the end of this 3-month period.

QDEF Signals & Forecast

The FlexShares Quality Dividend Defensive 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 $87.68 and $87.11. 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 Friday, July 10, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.295%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. FlexShares Quality Dividend Defensive gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs".

Trading Expectations (QDEF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 14th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 14th we expect FlexShares Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund to open at $87.99, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $87.53 and $88.19, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.654 (+/-0.75%) up or down from last closing price. If FlexShares Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.75% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $87.87 (0.01%) than the support at $86.81 (1.20%), 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.
