VAW Signals & Forecast

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. 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 a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the ETF giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $199.14. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $195.94. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, April 09, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.70%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Trading Expectations (VAW) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Vanguard Materials Index Fund ETF Shares to open at $197.01, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $194.61 and $199.51, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.45 (+/-1.25%) up or down from last closing price. If Vanguard Materials Index Fund ETF Shares takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.49% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $198.33 (0.64%) than the support at $195.39 (0.85%), 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.
