Summary
The moving-average structure behind First Trust Flexible Municipal High Income ETF is bearish at $15.88, with short-term averages lagging the long-term ones. It has lost 6.0% over the past 30 days. RSI sits at 31.0, which reads as approaching oversold, and MACD momentum is bearish. Watch $15.57 as support and $16.66 as the nearer resistance level.
The 0.49% expense ratio is competitive for its category, and the fund manages $21.0M in assets.
Risk comes out at 3 of a possible 10, a low reading. With 30-day volatility of 8.7%, a beta of 0.10 and a maximum drawdown of 9.9%, the drawdown profile is forgiving relative to most of the market. Thin trading volumes mean execution costs can be material on larger orders. The wider market backdrop reads extreme greed at 94 on the fear-greed composite.
This one splits by horizon — sell in the near term, hold further out, at 4/10 long-term conviction.
