Vanguard Short-term Inflation-protected Securities Index Fund ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 21, 2026

The Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected ETF price fell by -0.0705% on the last day (Tuesday, 21st Jul 2026) from $49.67 to $49.63. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.141% from a day low at $49.63 to a day high of $49.70. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.02% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -87 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $73.93 million.

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 Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $48.58 and $49.31 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 ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners. Do note, that if the ETF price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

VTIP Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the ETF today. The Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $49.64 and $50.02. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, July 01, 2026, and so far it has risen 0.222%. 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).
