SCHJ Signals & Forecast

The Schwab 1-5 Year Corporate Bond ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. 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 $48.08 and $47.98. 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). Schwab 1-5 Year Corporate Bond has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. 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, May 09, 2024, and so far it has fallen 0%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, May 03, 2024 for the short-term and also have Golden Star Signal for the medium-term dated Tuesday, August 29, 2023.

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.
