QTEC Signals & Forecast
The First Trust NASDAQ-100- Technology Index 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 $326.81 and $306.36. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, and so far it has risen 12.30%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for First Trust NASDAQ-100- Technology Index ETF
On the downside, the ETF finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $306.94 and $298.97. 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, First Trust NASDAQ-100- Technology Index finds support just below today's level at $306.94. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $298.97 and $261.88.
This ETF has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the ETF moved $7.87 between high and low, or 2.37%. For the last week, the ETF has had daily average volatility of 2.52%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $322.51 (-3.94%) (This ETF has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 7 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (QTEC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect First Trust NASDAQ-100- Technology Index Fund to open at $336.11, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $330.27 and $341.21, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$10.94 (+/-3.31%) up or down from last closing price.
