Executive Summary

Principal U.S. Small-Cap ETF is priced at $69.16 and its moving averages line up in bullish order, the shorter sitting above the longer. The last 30 days have gained 2.5%. RSI sits at 49.1, which reads as neutral, and MACD momentum is bearish. Watch $68.15 as support and $70.90 as the nearer resistance level.
The 0.38% expense ratio is competitive for its category, and the fund manages $2.74B in assets.
