Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index ETF Forecast

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index ETF downgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on May 22, 2024)

VIG Signals & Forecast

The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index 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 $183.38 and $178.30. 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). 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 Friday, May 17, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.315%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index ETF

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index finds support from accumulated volume at $179.45 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the ETF moved $1.10 between high and low, or 0.601%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.431%.

The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index ETF is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some ETFS may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the ETF manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: $179.42 (-2.21%) (This ETF has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 91 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 25 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (VIG) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 23rd

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 23rd we expect Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF Shares to open at $183.51, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $182.22 and $184.74, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.26 (+/-0.69%) up or down from last closing price. If Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF Shares takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.37% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $183.52 (0.02%) than the support at $179.45 (2.20%), 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.

Is Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF Shares ETF A Buy?

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: 0.350 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
