POWERSHARES S&P 500(R) EQUAL WEIGHT ETF upgraded to Buy Candidate
(Updated on Jul 10, 2026)
No changes to the price of POWERSHARES S&P 500(R) EQUAL WEIGHT ETF on the last trading day (Friday, 10th Jul 2026). During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.346% from a day low at $23.09 to a day high of $23.17. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.98% over the past 2 weeks.
The ETF lies in the upper part of a weak 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.

Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 5.47% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $22.71 and $24.46 at the end of this 3-month period.
