In this article I will outline why I think it is time for me to allocate a portion of my retirement funds away from the SPDR SP 500 ETF (SPY) and into the Vanguard Extended Market ETF (
It's Time To Allocate Money To The Vanguard Extended Market ETF (Technical Analysis)
Summary
- I am reallocating retirement funds from SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) to Vanguard Extended Market ETF (VXF) based on technical analysis and relative strength.
- SPY is bullish, trading above its 10-month EMA with institutional investors content, but VXF shows stronger price action and volume.
- VXF's relative strength to SPY is improving, with the VXF:SPY ratio closing above its 10-month EMA and forming higher lows.
- Fundamental factors like Bitcoin rally, strong dollar, and potential tariff benefits support VXF's continued growth, prompting my reallocation.
As an individual investor nearing retirement I am trying to build my financial assets in order to have a fulfilling retirement. I am interested in trading both long and short; or at least using inverse ETFs, to take advantage of market declines. Having long term and short term trading strategies, proper execution of my trading plan, and absolute investing results are my goals. I see my articles as a way to keep me focused on developing winning trades. I also expect to learn much from the feedback that is provided in the comments section.
