VANGUARD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDEX FUND ETF SHARES gained 1.19% in the last trading day, rising from $183.64 to $185.83 , and has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days , but is still down by -0.55% for this period. Volume fell in the last day by -273 007 shares, and in total, 324 234 shares bought and sold for approximately $60.25 million. You should take into consideration that a falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes for the next couple of days.

Trend

VANGUARD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDEX FUND ETF SHARES lies in the middle of a weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 9.09% during the next 3 months and, with 90% probability hold a price between $197.79 and $213.29 at the end of this period.

Signals

Only positive signals in the chart today. VANGUARD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDEX FUND ETF SHARES holds buy signals from both short- and long-term moving averages, but the stock 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 $182.35 and $184.99.

A break down below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday June 27, 2018, which indicates further gains until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

A buy signal from a double bottom formation was found on Wednesday June 27, 2018 and based on theory for this formation the price should go up by 12.52% to $193.12 within 27 trading days since signal was issued (Monday August 06, 2018).
