The ETF is moving within a narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect POWERSHARES VARIABLE RATE PREFERRED ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $24.22 and $24.46 at the end of this 3-month period.

ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
