Evaluation of First Trust NASDAQ Rising Dividend ETF downgraded after the last trading session
(Updated on Nov 17, 2025)
The First Trust NASDAQ Rising Dividend ETF price fell by -1.58% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $66.93 to $65.87. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 2.21% from a day low at $65.62 to a day high of $67.07. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.11% loss for the last 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 -379 thousand shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $117.11 million.
The ETF has broken the narrow and weak rising short-term trend down. This signalizes a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning about a possible trend shift. Due to the trend being broken there will now be resistance at the bottom line of the trend at $65.92. A reaction back to this level may hold a second chance to get out before further falls.
RDVY Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The First Trust NASDAQ Rising Dividend ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $67.32 and $67.15. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, October 27, 2025, and so far it has fallen -3.57%. 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 together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
