Sell candidate since May 18, 2026 Loss -34.72%

The ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF price fell by -4.58% on the last day (Wednesday, 15th Jul 2026) from $23.80 to $22.71. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 4.81% from a day low at $22.66 to a day high of $23.75. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -8.76% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 2 million shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 8 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $184.59 million.

The ETF lies in the middle of a very wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -39.74% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $11.97 and $16.06 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.

UVXY Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $23.83 and $27.19. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, and so far it has fallen -31.74%. 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 rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF

Trading Expectations (UVXY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 16th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 16th we expect ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures to open at $23.04, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $21.93 and $23.49, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.56 (+/-7.12%) up or down from last closing price. If ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.12% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $24.63, some $1.92 (8.45%) from the current price of $22.71, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.

Is ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF A Buy?

ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures holds several negative signals and is within a very wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks.
