CleaRank AI analysis of VOOG
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
VOOG, the Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF, currently sits in between its two main moving averages. The price of $83.51 is 5.87% above the 200-day average of $78.88, yet it is 1.59% below the 50-day average of $84.86. Within its 52-week range the fund stands at 80%, and the price is 5.37% below the 52-week high of $88.25. Meanwhile, the 50-day average is 7.58% above the 200-day average.
On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 38.1, in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, although the MACD line is positive, which pulls the other way. The price is up over each of these periods: 1.06% over the past month, 3.42% over the past three months and 15.98% over the past year.
- The two levels closest to the price are worth tracking. The 50-day SMA, at $84.86, sits above the price, and the 200-day SMA, at $78.88, sits below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 38.1 falls in the bearish zone, while the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 signal stretched momentum.
- Fees add up over time. VOOG's expense ratio of 0.07% a year means $7.00 is charged on every $10,000 invested.
VOOG has a mixed trend. Its price is above the 200-day average at $78.88 but below the 50-day average at $84.86. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, while a close below the 200-day would turn both down. For now, the price is wedged between the 200-day SMA ($78.88) underneath and the 50-day SMA ($84.86) overhead.
With the RSI in the bearish band, momentum is working against a quick rebound.

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 VOOG, 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 VOOG today could grow to about $25,059 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $58,554 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $10,724 (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 0.45% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
VOOG 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $121 for VOOG by 2030 in the base case, from $83.51 today (1.4x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $70.50. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on VOOG'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 | $70.00 | $91.55 | $120 | |
| 2028 | $68.66 | $100 | $147 | |
