Vanguard Small Cap Etf ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Nov 17, 2025

The Vanguard Small Cap ETF price fell by -1.89% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $249.81 to $245.10. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 2.40% from a day low at $244.12 to a day high of $249.99. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -3.66% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 1 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, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $449.53 million.

The ETF has broken the narrow and horizontal trend down. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately $249.18 is considered to be a "second chance" to get out before further fall. It is, however, important to note that false breaks may appear and that the price may move back into the horizontal trend. A break on increasing volume is considered to be more significant and reliable than breaks on low volume.

VB Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Vanguard Small Cap 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 $252.22 and $254.62. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, October 27, 2025, and so far it has fallen -5.76%. 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.

Trading Expectations (VB) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect Vanguard Small Cap ETF to open at $246.40, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $243.07 and $247.13, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$4.06 (+/-1.67%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $245.03 (0.03%) than the resistance at $246.21 (0.45%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..

Is Vanguard Small Cap ETF ETF A Buy?
