What the AI sees

At $104.34, iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) is pulling in two directions. The price is 1.47% below its 50-day average of $105.90, yet it sits 11.32% above its 200-day average of $93.73. Over the past year, the price is 41.13% above the 52-week low of $73.93 and 11.40% below the high of $117.76.

Short-term and long-term readings disagree. Over the past month the price slipped 0.59%, yet over three months it climbed 12.44%, and over the past year it dropped 7.50%. Last session the price fell 4.80% on volume that was 110.2% above its average. The 14-day RSI sits at 43.3, which is neutral, and the MACD line is positive.

ProTips
  1. The two closest levels matter most: the 50-day SMA, at $105.90, is the first level above the price, and the 200-day SMA, at $93.73, is the first level below it.
  2. A 14-day RSI of 43.3 is neutral, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
  3. Fees add up over time. IGV's 0.38% annual expense ratio amounts to $38.00 a year for every $10,000 invested.
Market outlook

IGV has a mixed trend. The price sits above its 200-day average of $93.73 but under its 50-day average of $105.90. Closing above the 50-day would bring both signals up, while closing below the 200-day would bring both down. On the downside the first level is the 200-day SMA at $93.73, and on the upside it is the 50-day SMA at $105.90.
