The THE CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY SELECT SECTOR ETF price gained 0.691% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 1st Jul 2026), rising from $117.28 to $118.09. It has now gained 4 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.93% from a day low at $116.90 to a day high of $119.16. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.31% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 4 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 9 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.02 billion.
The ETF is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect THE CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY SELECT SECTOR ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $115.08 and $124.46 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.

The THE CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY SELECT SECTOR ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF, 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.
