XFN.TO Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the ETF today. The iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index 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 $49.22. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $48.57. 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. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.46%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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.

Is iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index ETF ETF A Buy?
iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate.
