SPHD Signals & Forecast
The PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low Vol ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, 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. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $42.96 and $43.43. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.80%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low Vol ETF

Trading Expectations (SPHD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low VolETF to open at $43.50, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $43.18 and $44.18, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.497 (+/-1.14%) up or down from last closing price. If PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low VolETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.27% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $43.78 (0.23%) than the support at $43.28 (0.92%), 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.
Is PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low VolETF ETF A Buy?
PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low Vol holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate.
