Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF Forecast
Red day on Thursday for Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond
(Updated on Mar 28, 2024)
The Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF price fell by -0.142% on the last day (Thursday, 28th Mar 2024) from $77.42 to $77.31. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.116% from a day low at $77.30 to a day high of $77.39. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.4% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 357 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $173.30 million.
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 $77.42 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 $76.61 and $77.24 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.
