Weaker technical forecast for MARKET VECTORS RETAIL as ETF downgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on Jul 29, 2026)
The MARKET VECTORS RETAIL ETF price fell by -0.442% on the last day (Wednesday, 29th Jul 2026) from $263.82 to $262.65. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.739% from a day low at $262.57 to a day high of $264.51. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 1.47% over the past 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 -6 thousand shares and in total, 4 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.07 million.
The ETF lies the upper part of a falling 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. A break up at the top trend line at $263.67 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -3.26% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $239.54 and $255.07 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the ETF price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
RTH Signals & Forecast
The MARKET VECTORS RETAIL 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 $258.62 and $258.10. 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 Tuesday, July 28, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.442%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this ETF may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.

Trading Expectations (RTH) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 30th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 30th we expect MARKET VECTORS RETAIL ETF to open at $263.24, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $261.05 and $264.25, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.20 (+/-1.23%) up or down from last closing price. If MARKET VECTORS RETAIL ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.23% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $263.82 (0.44%) than the support at $259.99 (1.01%), 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.
Is MARKET VECTORS RETAIL ETF ETF A Buy?
MARKET VECTORS RETAIL holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate.

Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold candidate.
