Vanguard Small Cap ETF Forecast
Vanguard Small Cap ETF upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on May 17, 2024)
The Vanguard Small Cap ETF price gained 0.0887% on the last trading day (Friday, 17th May 2024), rising from $225.36 to $225.56. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.448% from a day low at $224.64 to a day high of $225.64. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.12% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 24 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 554 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $124.89 million.
The ETFis at the upper part of a horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $228.77 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Vanguard Small Cap ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $211.17 and $229.10 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

VB Signals & Forecast
The Vanguard Small Cap ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $224.55 and $219.52. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.608%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Vanguard Small Cap ETF

Trading Expectations (VB) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect Vanguard Small Cap ETF to open at $225.28, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $222.84 and $228.28, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.72 (+/-1.20%) up or down from last closing price. If Vanguard Small Cap ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.41% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $226.96 (0.62%) than the support at $222.88 (1.19%), 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.
