PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information ETF Forecast

Stronger technical forecast for PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information ETF price after Wednesday trading.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)

PSCT Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.39%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information 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 $45.08. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $43.09. 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).

Trading Expectations (PSCT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio to open at $43.85, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $43.09 and $44.63, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.773 (+/-1.76%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $43.42 (1.00%) than the resistance at $46.66 (6.38%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
