POWERSHARES S&P 500(R) EQUAL WEIGHT ETF upgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Buy Candidate after Monday trading session
(Updated on Jun 22, 2026)
The POWERSHARES S&P 500(R) EQUAL WEIGHT ETF price gained 0.0885% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Jun 2026), rising from $22.61 to $22.63. It has now gained 5 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.755% from a day low at $22.53 to a day high of $22.70. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.53% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -151 shares and in total, 4 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $95.48 thousand. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The ETF lies in the middle of a wide and strong 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 17.09% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $25.49 and $28.13 at the end of this 3-month period.
RCD Signals & Forecast
A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.92%. 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 during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The POWERSHARES S&P 500(R) EQUAL WEIGHT ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF, but the ETF has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $22.45 and $22.50. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, June 16, 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.
