Ishares Msci Japan Small-cap Etf ETF Forecast

Buy candidate since Jun 11, 2026 Gain 0.17%

The ISHARES MSCI JAPAN SMALL-CAP ETF price gained 0.172% on the last trading day (Friday, 12th Jun 2026), rising from $104.53 to $104.71. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.436% from a day low at $104.42 to a day high of $104.88. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days but is still down by -1.13% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -8 thousand shares and in total, 35 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $3.70 million. 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 weak 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 9.60% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $112.34 and $119.87 at the end of this 3-month period.

SCJ Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the ETF today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, May 14, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.52%. 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). The ISHARES MSCI JAPAN SMALL-CAP 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 $104.05 and $103.53. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The ETF should be watched closely.

Trading Expectations (SCJ) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 15th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 15th we expect ISHARES MSCI JAPAN SMALL-CAP ETF to open at $104.67, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $104.07 and $105.35, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.27 (+/-1.22%) up or down from last closing price. If ISHARES MSCI JAPAN SMALL-CAP ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.22% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $104.93 (0.21%) than the support at $103.77 (0.90%), 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.
