XIU.TO Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The iShares S&P/TSX 60 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 $33.38. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $33.11. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, April 09, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.06%. 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). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Monday, September 11, 2023 in the long-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 (XIU.TO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index ETF to open at $33.30, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $32.92 and $33.58, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.325 (+/-0.98%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $33.27 (0.06%) than the support at $32.53 (2.17%), 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.
