The ETF is at the lower part of a narrow and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $68.58 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect iShares S&P/Citigroup 1-3 Year ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $67.53 and $69.56 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.
