iShares FTSE Crosses Below its 10-day MA (FXI)

By Shiri Gupta

iShares FTSE (NYSE:FXI) crossed under its 10-day moving average of $39.17 on a volume of 3.0 million shares. This may provide swing traders with an opportunity for a short position, as such a crossover often suggests lower prices in the near term.

iShares FTSE share prices have moved between a 52-week high of $40.74 and a 52-week low of $31.62 and are now trading 23% above that low price at $39.04 per share. Over the past week, the 200-day moving average (MA) has remained constant while the 50-day MA has advanced 1.2%.
