(Updated on May 07, 2024)
No changes to the price of iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index ETF on the last trading day (Tuesday, 7th May 2024). During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.505% from a day low at $49.52 to a day high of $49.77. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.18% over the past 2 weeks.
The ETF is moving within a narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected.

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

XFN.TO Signals & Forecast
The iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the ETF has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $48.97 and $49.13. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.23%. 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). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Volume fell during the last trading day while price remained unchanged. This may be an early warning, but it may also not. We still recommend that you pay attention over the next couple of days.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index ETF

Trading Expectations (XFN.TO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 8th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 8th we expect iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index ETF to open at $49.61, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $49.08 and $50.00, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.461 (+/-0.93%) up or down from last closing price. If iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials Index ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.86% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $49.71 (0.34%) than the support at $49.31 (0.46%), 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 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. 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.
