ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF upgraded to Buy Candidate
(Updated on Jul 31, 2026)
The ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF price fell by -0.155% on the last day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026) from $77.35 to $77.23. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.05% from a day low at $76.71 to a day high of $77.52. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.25% for this period. 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 -22 thousand shares and in total, 39 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.98 million.
The ETF lies in the lower part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $76.51 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 10.43% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $84.48 and $88.90 at the end of this 3-month period.
SMDV Signals & Forecast
The ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the ETF giving a positive forecast for the ETF. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $77.72. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $76.61. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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 16, 2026, and so far it has fallen -2.41%. 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). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
