VFH Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.92%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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 Financials 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 $99.40. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $98.47. 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.

Trading Expectations (VFH) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Vanguard Financials Index Fund ETF Shares to open at $98.71, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $97.51 and $99.89, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.19 (+/-1.20%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $99.11 (0.42%) than the support at $97.93 (0.78%), 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.
