Summary

PGIM Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETF - April is priced at $33.07 and its moving averages line up in bullish order, the shorter sitting above the longer. The last 30 days have gained 1.6%. Relative strength is 56.2 — neutral — and the MACD signal is bearish. Watch $32.72 as support and $33.27 as the nearer resistance level.
The 0.50% expense ratio is middling for its category, and the fund manages $30.7M in assets.
Risk comes out at 3 of a possible 10, a low reading. With 30-day volatility of 4.1% and a beta of 0.35, the drawdown profile is forgiving relative to most of the market.

Timeframes disagree: the short-term read is buy while the long-term read is hold, conviction 3 out of 10.
