CleaRank AI analysis of PSLV
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Trading at $18.48, PSLV is under both of its main moving averages: 11.47% below the 50-day ($20.87) and 21.10% below the 200-day ($23.42). At 15% of its 52-week range, the price is 22.71% above the 52-week low of $15.06. The 50-day average sits 10.87% below the 200-day, which confirms the weakness rather than contradicting it.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 9.99% over the past month, rose 2.44% over the past three months and rose 2.27% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 36.8, in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, with the MACD line negative.
- Two levels deserve the closest attention: the 20-day EMA, which sits at $19.67 above the price, and the 52-week low at $15.06, which sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 36.8, in the bearish zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
As long as PSLV stays under both its 50-day average of $20.87 and its 200-day average of $23.42, the downtrend remains intact. A close back above the 50-day would mark the first sign of repair. Overhead, the 20-day EMA at $19.67 is the first barrier a rally would have to clear.
Below the price, the 52-week low at $15.06 is the next level a decline would reach. The RSI is in the bearish band, a reading that works against a fast rebound.

Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in PSLV, 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 PSLV today could grow to about $21,541 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $80,308 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $5,778. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
PSLV 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
