Red day on Monday for Vanguard Materials Index Fund Shares ETF after losing 1.58%
(Updated on Nov 17, 2025)
The Vanguard Materials Index Fund Shares ETF price fell by -1.58% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $195.80 to $192.70. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.79% from a day low at $192.32 to a day high of $195.77. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.51% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 21 thousand 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, 52 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $10.07 million.
The ETF lies in the lower of a falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $190.84 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -5.73% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $179.90 and $189.64 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.
VAW Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, November 06, 2025, and so far it has risen 0.273%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Vanguard Materials Index Fund Shares 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 $196.55 and $200.25. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. 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.
