(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)

VTIP Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the ETF today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, April 04, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.230%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected 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 $47.81 and $47.81. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The ETF should be watched closely. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 in the short-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

Trading Expectations (VTIP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund to open at $47.83, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $47.74 and $47.90, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0769 (+/-0.16%) up or down from last closing price. If Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.32% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $47.84 (0.04%) than the support at $47.78 (0.08%), 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.
