CleaRank AI analysis of FDN
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
First Trust Dow Jones Internet Index Fund (FDN) shows a mixed trend. The price of $284.01 sits 2.33% below its 50-day average of $290.77, yet it is 6.25% above its 200-day average of $267.29. Within its 52-week range the price is near the top: 6.20% below the high of $302.79 and 26.53% above the low of $224.47. The 50-day average is 8.79% above the 200-day, but the price has slipped beneath the shorter average.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 1.61% over the past month, rose 5.28% over the past three months and rose 2.58% over the past year. The 14-day RSI of 41.3 is in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is positive.
- Keep an eye on the two nearest levels. Above the price sits the 50-day SMA at $290.77, and below it sits the 200-day SMA at $267.29.
- A 14-day RSI of 41.3 falls in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is positive. Momentum is only considered stretched when readings climb above 70 or drop below 30.
- Fees add up over time. FDN's 0.49% yearly charge amounts to $49.00 on every $10,000 invested.
FDN sits in a mixed trend. Its price is above the 200-day average of $267.29 but under the 50-day average of $290.77. A close above the 50-day would bring both signals up, while a close below the 200-day would bring both down. On the downside the first level to watch is the 200-day SMA at $267.29, and on the upside it is the 50-day SMA at $290.77.
