The Fund seeks investment returns that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. Uses a replication strategy. The Index measures the performance of the large-capitalization growth sector of the US equity market.
Technical Observation (on the daily chart):
IWF's price action is currently characterized by an ascending trend, marked by consecutively higher highs and higher lows, suggesting a strong possibility of a sustained up move in the near term. As such, it is prudent to exercise patience and wait for a corrective pullback to the downside to initiate a long position and capitalize on the dip. Furthermore, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is exhibiting an overbought condition, displaying a bearish divergence with respect to the price action, which may precipitate a pullback to lower levels to alleviate the momentum. Additionally, IWF's price is currently trading above its 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which is likely to serve as a temporary support level during near-term price fluctuations, potentially providing a platform for the price to reaccumulate and continue its upward trajectory.

How to Read the Charts?
The yellow colour line reflects the 21-period simple moving average (SMA) while the blue line indicates the 50- period simple moving average (SMA). SMA helps to identify existing price trends. If the prices are trading above the 21-period and 50-period moving average, then it shows prices are currently trading in a bullish trend.
The orange colour line in the chart’s lower segment reflects the Relative Strength Index (14-Period) which indicates price momentum and signals momentum in trend. A reading of 70 or above suggests overbought status while a reading of 30 or below suggests an oversold status.
The red and green colour bars in the chart’s lower segment show the volume of the ETF. The volume is the number of shares that changed hands during a given day. ETFs with high volumes are more liquid than ETFs with lesser volume as liquidity in ETFs helps with easier and faster execution of the order.
The Orange colour lines are the trend lines drawn by connecting two or more price points and used for trend identification purposes. The trend line also acts as a line of support and resistance.
