What the AI sees

VEA sends a mixed trend signal: at $69.89, it trades 2.22% below its 50-day average of $71.47 but 0.70% above its 200-day average of $69.41. The price sits near the top of its 52-week range, 5.61% below the high of $74.04 and 18.70% above the low of $58.88. The 50-day average sits 2.98% above the 200-day, though the price itself has slipped under the shorter average.

ProTips
  1. The two nearest levels to watch are the 20-day EMA at $70.06, which sits above the price, and the 200-day SMA at $69.41, which sits below it.

Market outlook

The trend is mixed: VEA is above its 200-day average at $69.41 but below its 50-day average at $71.47. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 200-day would turn both down. The nearest levels are the 200-day SMA at $69.41 below and the 20-day EMA at $70.06 above.
