Hold candidate since Nov 13, 2025 Loss -0.01%

The Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF price gained 0.0251% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025), rising from $79.62 to $79.64. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.0753% from a day low at $79.63 to a day high of $79.69. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 0.08% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 152 thousand more shares were traded than the day before.

The ETF is at the lower part of a narrow and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $79.53 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $79.58 and $80.19 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 ETF seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETF turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
