The Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 ETF price gained 0.525% on the last trading day (Thursday, 28th Mar 2024), rising from $100.97 to $101.50. It has now gained 3 days in a row.

During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.98% from a day low at $101.03 to a day high of $102.03. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 4.87% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 9 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 91 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $9.22 million.
The ETF lies in the upper part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $102.62 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 3.46% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $99.83 and $106.16 at the end of this 3-month period.
