CleaRank AI analysis of IWF
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
IWF, the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, shows a mixed trend. The price of $121.48 sits 2.16% below its 50-day average of $124.16, yet it is 1.81% above its 200-day average of $119.32. The 50-day average is 4.05% above the 200-day, so the longer average has not yet caught up with the softer price. Over the past year, the price is 18.83% above the 52-week low of $102.23 and 6.41% below the 52-week high of $129.80.
The 14-day RSI of 36.4 is in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, while the MACD line is positive, so the two momentum readings point different ways. The price is up over each of these periods: 0.78% over the past month, 1.76% over the past three months and 4.55% over the past year. Volume in the last session ran 66.3% above its average, on a day the price fell 2.22%.
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 50-day SMA at $124.16 sits above the price, and the 200-day SMA at $119.32 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI is 36.4, which places it in the bearish zone, while the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- Because fees accumulate over time, note that IWF's 0.18% annual expense ratio equals $18.00 on every $10,000 invested.
IWF's trend reads mixed. The price sits above its 200-day average of $119.32 but below its 50-day average of $124.16. If the price closes above the 50-day, both signals would point up; a close below the 200-day would point both down. Going up, the first level to meet is the 50-day SMA at $124.16, and going down, the first is the 200-day SMA at $119.32.
With the RSI in the bearish zone, momentum still leans toward lower prices for IWF.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in IWF, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in IWF today could grow to about $25,153 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $59,474 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $10,637 (above the amount invested: over ten years most simulated paths of a rising, moderately volatile asset end higher). The simulation models price only; at today's 0.34% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
IWF 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $176 for IWF by 2030 in the base case, from $121 today (1.4x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $102. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on IWF's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $101 | $133 | $175 | |
| 2028 | $99.42 | $146 | $215 | |
| 2029 | $99.99 | $160 | $257 | |
| 2030 | $102 | $176 | $303 | |
| 2031 | $105 | $193 | $354 |
Method: a lognormal simulation of IWF's own volatility and capped historical trend, re-run daily; base case is the median path, the outer columns the 10th and 90th percentiles.
