Red day on Friday for First Trust Emerging Markets Equity
(Updated on Jul 31, 2026)
The First Trust Emerging Markets Equity ETF price fell by -0.172% on the last day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026) from $57.30 to $57.20. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.23% from a day low at $56.51 to a day high of $57.20. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.54% 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, 2 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $105.65 thousand.
The ETFis at the upper part of a horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $57.31 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect First Trust Emerging Markets Equity ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $55.03 and $58.15 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
RNEM Signals & Forecast
The First Trust Emerging Markets Equity 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 $56.47 and $55.71. 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 Thursday, July 30, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.172%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. First Trust Emerging Markets Equity 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". The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, November 06, 2025 in the long-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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for First Trust Emerging Markets Equity ETF
First Trust Emerging Markets Equity finds support from accumulated volume at $54.93 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this ETF. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.696 between high and low, or 1.23%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.437%.
The First Trust Emerging Markets Equity ETF is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some ETFS may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the ETF manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: $55.76 (-2.53%) (This ETF has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. The RSI14 is 77 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 1 day ago.)
Trading Expectations (RNEM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect First Trust Emerging Markets Equity Select ETF to open at $56.97, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $56.97 and $57.43, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.464 (+/-0.81%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust Emerging Markets Equity Select ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.81% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $57.30 (0.17%) than the support at $54.93 (3.98%), 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.
