Summary
First Trust NASDAQ-100 Ex-Technology Sector Index Fund trades at $98.06, with its moving averages tangled rather than clearly stacked — a neutral trend structure. It has lost 4.8% over the past 30 days. With RSI at 50.6 the momentum picture is neutral, alongside a bullish MACD signal. Price has been bracketed by support at $95.51 and resistance at $98.27.
The 0.57% expense ratio is middling for its category, and the fund manages $138.8M in assets.
On a 1-10 scale the risk profile lands at 2 — low. With 30-day volatility of 10.7%, a beta of 0.51 and a maximum drawdown of 8.7%, 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.
All three time horizons resolve to hold, carrying 3/10 conviction.
