Evaluation of MARKET VECTORS SHORT MUNICIPAL INDEX ETF downgraded after the last trading session
(Updated on Jun 03, 2026)
No changes to the price of MARKET VECTORS SHORT MUNICIPAL INDEX ETF on the last trading day (Wednesday, 3rd Jun 2026). During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.145% from a day low at $17.29 to a day high of $17.32. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.41% over the past 2 weeks.
Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect MARKET VECTORS SHORT MUNICIPAL INDEX ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $17.07 and $17.18 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. 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.
SMB Signals & Forecast
The MARKET VECTORS SHORT MUNICIPAL INDEX 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 $17.29 and $17.28. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, May 15, 2026, and so far it has risen 0.523%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Volume fell on the last day without any changes to the price. This does not cause any direct divergence but may be an early warning and a possible "turning point". The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, May 22, 2026 in the short-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.
