(Updated on Mar 27, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Mar 21, 2024 Gain 0.22% PDF

The Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF price gained 0.214% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 27th Mar 2024), rising from $77.26 to $77.42. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.220% from a day low at $77.25 to a day high of $77.42. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.39% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -51 thousand shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $145.88 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The ETFis at the upper part of a narrow and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $77.49 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $76.57 and $77.29 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. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

Trading Expectations (VCSH) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 28th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 28th we expect Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF to open at $77.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $77.29 and $77.55, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.129 (+/-0.17%) up or down from last closing price. If Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.33% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $77.43 (0.01%) than the support at $77.25 (0.22%), 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.
