# Uptrending ETFs Pulling Back to the 150-Day MA — October 16, 2026
**Query:** ETF pullbacks
**Data as of:** 2026-10-16

45 US ETFs in an uptrend trading within 8% of their 150D SMA, ranked by 1Y return as of October 16, 2026.

### Trend intact, price on the back foot

### What this screen isolates

These funds have a **structurally intact trend** — the 50-day average still sits above the 150-day and price is registered as trending up — but the last leg has stalled or reversed, leaving price within 8% of the 150-day line. That combination is the classic *buy-the-dip-in-an-uptrend* setup: the long-term demand is intact, while the near-term froth has been worked off.

### How the drawdown is shaping up

The pullback currently has two distinct personalities:

1. **AI and semiconductor complexes** (AIS, CHPX, SMH, SMHX, IGPT, ARTY, XLK, XNTK, SPHB) are the deepest in the 150-day. This is a *valuation and credit* repricing, not an earnings revision — the market is questioning the leverage funding compute build-outs, and the most concentrated, most expensive sleeves suffer most. Those trading *below* the 150-day line are the ones showing the first crack in trend; names still *above* it are pausing at supports.
2. **International value, EM and commodity funds** (ILF, EPU, BCI, CPER, GVAL, IVLU, DFIV, AVDV, PPH, COWZ) are barely below their 52-week highs. Here the "pullback" is little more than consolidation, and their cash-flow/dividend character fits a market that is currently paying for near-term cash over long-duration optionality.

### How to use it

Sorting by 1-year return puts the biggest winners at the top — but rank alone hides the distinction that matters. **Distance from the 150-day MA tells you whether a trend is being defended; distance from the 52-week high tells you how much air has already come out.** A name trading a few percent below its 150-day line after a large twelve-month run is a *test*; a name parked close to its high on modest volume is a *coil*. Technical tags (upward channel, sideways channel) help separate orderly grind from genuine deterioration, and relative volume flags where the selling is being institutionally absorbed versus quietly distributed.

Size is also a discriminator. Mega-liquid ETFs (SMH, XLK, IWD, VONV, EMXC) absorb flow and are the cleanest ways to express a sector or style view; the sub-$1B thematic and single-country funds carry wider spreads and materially more idiosyncratic risk, so a pullback there needs a far stronger thesis to justify adding.

### Uptrending ETFs Near Their 150-Day MA (ranked by 1Y return)

| Symbol | Name | ETF Theme | 1D Return | 1M Return | 6M Return | 1Y Return | % from 150D SMA | % from 52W High | Relative Volume | RSI (14) | Trend / Pattern | Expense Ratio | Top Holdings | Comments |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| EWT | iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF | Taiwan | -2.64% | -3.96% | 27.69% | 71.01% | 7.97% | -9.95% | 0.9544 | 36.0675 | Uptrend | 0.59% | 2330.TW, 2454.TW, 2308.TW, 2317.TW, 3711.TW, 2303.TW, 3037.TW, 1303.TW, 2383.TW, 3017.TW | Taiwan's uptrend has been an index-concentration story — TSMC and its supplier chain dominate the fund, so what looks like a country pullback is really semiconductor de-risking. That also means it is a leveraged proxy for the same AI capex debate that is hurting domestic chip funds, not a diversifier. |
| AIS | VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF | Artificial Intelligence | -4.79% | -12.60% | 15.72% | 65.23% | -7.47% | -30.06% | 0.7437 | 27.9469 | Uptrend, Break-below | 0.75% | 000660.KQ, MU, AMD, SMTC, MRVL, TSM, INTC, VRT, SIMO, STX | Already broke below its 150-day line and confirmed it with a downside level break — the most damaged trend in the group. Concentration in memory and chip names makes it a high-beta expression of the compute repricing; a valid bounce candidate only if you believe the semiconductor drawdown is a valuation event rather than a capex-cycle event. |
| CHPX | Global X AI Semiconductor & Quantum ETF | AI Semiconductors & Quantum | -4.12% | -7.47% | 23.67% | 62.43% | -1.27% | -20.51% | 0.5894 | 29.3635 | Uptrend | 0.50% | MU, TSM, NVDA, AVGO, AMD, 2454.TW, ASML, MRVL, 000660.KQ, INTC | Hybrid semiconductor-plus-quantum mandate means it carries both the AI supply chain and the quantum theme that has been one of the weakest corners of the market. Small asset base amplifies both directions; the quantum exposure dilutes the cleaner chip thesis. |
| SMH | VanEck Semiconductor ETF | Semiconductors | -3.41% | -3.71% | 16.29% | 58.43% | -1.66% | -19.30% | 2.1414 | 31.4247 | Uptrend | 0.35% | NVDA, TSM, AMD, AVGO, MU, AMAT, INTC, TXN, KLAC, ASML | The most liquid vehicle for the industry and the one that sets the tone for every other chip ETF here. Highest turnover in the list signals institutional repositioning — this is the ETF to watch for whether the semiconductor pullback is being aggressively defended or quietly distributed. |
| IGPT | Invesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF | AI & Software | -4.27% | -7.43% | 26.14% | 58.19% | 1.09% | -17.34% | 1.5444 | 28.7394 | Uptrend | 0.57% | AMD, META, MU, NVDA, GOOGL, INTC, 000660.KQ, SNDK, 2454.TW, MRVL | Still above its 150-day line thanks to megacap software exposure (META, GOOGL, NVDA) offsetting the chip drag, and its elevated turnover shows active rotation into defensive software within AI. A relatively resilient way to keep AI exposure as the semiconductor sleeve corrects. |
| VLUE | iShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF | Value Factor | -1.67% | -3.98% | 22.52% | 54.98% | 3.99% | -6.45% | 0.5305 | 34.3653 | Uptrend | 0.15% | MU, CSCO, GM, VZ, T, HPE, BAC, DELL, PFE, QCOM | Value factor with heaviest weights in semis and hardware names, so even 'cheap' tech is not immune. Very low fee makes it a utilitarian style building block; the unusual top-holdings mix is a reminder that factor labels can hide a concentrated tech bet. |
| ARTY | iShares Future AI & Tech ETF | Artificial Intelligence & Tech | -4.50% | -7.34% | 18.71% | 43.02% | 1.60% | -14.35% | 1.4745 | 30.3689 | Uptrend | 0.47% | AMD, MRVL, MU, NVDA, 2330.TW, AVGO, CRWV, 3443.TW, ORCL, SMCI | Heavy small- and mid-cap AI names alongside the megacaps, plus a CoreWeave-type position — exactly the segment the market is treating as a credit story rather than an earnings story. Its elevated turnover suggests the market is debating this exposure rather than simply trimming it. |
| EPU | iShares MSCI Peru and Global Exposure ETF | Peru | -0.54% | -1.19% | 6.84% | 42.55% | 5.06% | -5.74% | 0.4623 | 47.601 | Uptrend | 0.59% | SCCO, BAP, BVN, HOC.L, VOLCABC1, CVERDEC1.LM, FERREYC1.LM, 1208.HK, IFS.LM, ISA.CL | Almost purely a copper proxy (Southern Copper, Buenaventura, Ferreyros). Peru's index has been supported by commodity pricing and mining capex rather than local growth — a commodity-cycle bet wrapped in an equity wrapper, with political risk layered on top. |
| BCI | abrdn Bloomberg All Commodity Strategy K-1 Free ETF | Broad Commodity | 0.61% | -0.23% | 11.71% | 41.29% | 7.31% | -1.45% | 0.5749 | 57.8962 | Uptrend | — | — | Diversified commodity basket with no single-theme risk, which is why it has held up while other asset classes wobbled. The K-1-free structure matters for taxable accounts; energy and metals exposure is what has been doing the heavy lifting, so the pullback is shallow because the underlying basket is still firm. |
| ILF | iShares Latin America 40 ETF | Latin America | 0.78% | 5.92% | 0.50% | 39.25% | 7.34% | -1.73% | 0.5658 | 60.2524 | Uptrend | 0.47% | NU, ITUB, VALE, GMEXICOB.MX, PBR, GFNORTEO.MX, BAP, FEMSAUBD.MX, BBD | Brazil and Mexico financial/commodity heavyweights drive this, and LatAm has been one of the strongest non-US regions on high real rates and cheap valuations. One of the few entries here whose 'pullback' looks like consolidation near highs — a potential beneficiary if the market continues to favor cash-generative non-US equity. |
| SMHX | VanEck Fabless Semiconductor ETF | Fabless Semiconductors | -3.73% | -3.69% | 16.06% | 38.28% | -1.78% | -20.47% | 0.9926 | 33.7611 | Uptrend | 0.35% | NVDA, AVGO, AMD, MRVL, ALAB, QCOM, CRDO, CDNS, MPWR, ARM | Fabless-only construction (NVIDIA, Broadcom, Marvell, Arm, Credo) removes foundry and equipment risk but concentrates the portfolio in the highest-multiple part of the chip stack — the most valuation-sensitive slice of semiconductors in a duration-penalizing market. |
| DXJ | WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund | Japan Hedged | -0.05% | -0.19% | 8.47% | 38.27% | 4.55% | -2.44% | 0.4953 | 47.4142 | Upward channel (12%), Uptrend | 0.48% | 8306.T, 8316.T, 7203.T, 8766.T, 8411.T, 2914.T, 8058.T, 8035.T, 9432.T, 4502.T | Yen-hedged Japanese financials and industrials; the currency hedge is what has driven the return as much as the equities, and it also insulates against a stronger yen. Sluggish turnover reflects little excitement — a steady, low-drama trend that fits the defensive-rotation regime. |
| AIA | iShares Asia 50 ETF | Asia 50 | -2.58% | -8.32% | 6.77% | 37.45% | -2.95% | -14.62% | 1.8489 | 29.7379 | Uptrend | 0.50% | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 0700.HK, 9988.HK, 2454.TW, 000660.KQ, D05.SI, 00939, 2308.TW, 1299.HK | A mix of Taiwanese semis, Korean memory and Chinese internet platforms with Hong Kong exposure — a three-way bet where the China component has been the drag. Elevated turnover suggests investors are rotating into Asian tech on the Korea/Taiwan pullback rather than exiting. |
| EMXC | iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF | Emerging Markets ex China | -1.90% | -7.01% | 3.52% | 35.60% | -2.09% | -13.35% | 1.5203 | 32.1706 | Sideways channel (0%), Uptrend | 0.25% | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 2454.TW, 005935, 2308.TW, 2317.TW, HDFCBANK.NS, 402340.KQ, 3711.TW | Effectively Korea and Taiwan plus India — an ex-China EM fund that is now dominated by semiconductors rather than broad EM breadth, and a cheap, highly liquid core holding. The Korea drawdown is the main risk: one market's selloff can drag the whole fund. |
| GVAL | Cambria Global Value ETF | Global Value | -0.81% | -1.54% | 6.67% | 35.41% | 5.17% | -4.20% | 0.3039 | 44.1135 | Upward channel (0%), Uptrend | 0.68% | ATS.VI, MONET.PR, MINEROS.CL, FXFXX, GRUPOSURA.CL, KOMB.PR, CEZ.PR, KGH.WA, RBI.VI, TUPRS.IS | Deep-value, globally diversified and idiosyncratic — European utilities, Chilean and Peruvian miners, Turkish refiners. The low turnover and niche holdings mean it trades on its own valuation-driven logic, providing genuine diversification from the US mega-cap tape. |
| XBI | State Street SPDR S&P Biotech ETF | Biotech | -3.65% | -8.80% | 4.18% | 33.75% | -0.48% | -14.88% | 1.3275 | 35.9065 | Uptrend | 0.35% | TWST, MRNA, NTRA, IOVA, AMGN, BIIB, UTHR, ABBV, HALO, SYRE | Equal-weighted biotech, so returns are driven by clinical catalysts and M&A appetite rather than index concentration. A meaningful pullback inside an uptrend often precedes FDA and data readouts; the risk is binary event exposure across a long tail of small caps. |
| XCEM | Columbia EM Core ex-China ETF | Emerging Markets ex-China | -1.80% | -6.41% | 3.20% | 32.74% | -1.86% | -12.54% | 0.878 | 32.4368 | Uptrend | 0.16% | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 2454.TW, 2308.TW, 2317.TW, 3711.TW, IHC.AB, IBN | A cost-conscious sibling of EMXC with the same semiconductor-heavy concentration but lower fee. Duplicative of EMXC for most portfolios — a holding here is really a Korea/Taiwan chip bet with a lighter expense drag. |
| CPAI | Counterpoint Quantitative Equity ETF | Quantitative Equity | -1.42% | -1.14% | 12.61% | 32.72% | 5.39% | -2.87% | 1.8688 | 45.7271 | Uptrend | 0.75% | P, ALAB, TXG, KLIC, BB.TO, INTC, ON, MRVL, HPE, MU | Active quant strategy holding high-momentum small and mid caps (Astera Labs, Kulicke & Soffa, ON, Marvell). Its elevated turnover is a signal that the fund can rotate out of trouble rather than ride it — a structural advantage over passive momentum sleeves in this kind of drawdown. |
| JIVE | JPMorgan International Value ETF | International Value | -0.13% | -3.95% | 3.66% | 31.80% | 1.67% | -5.69% | 0.8894 | 41.3132 | Uptrend | 0.55% | 005930.KQ, 2330.TW, SHEL.L, NESN.SW, TD, HSBA.L, ROP.SW, NOVN.SW, RY, BBVA.MC | International value that quietly owns the biggest Asian technology names alongside European financials and pharma — a value label over significant tech exposure. The same concentration dynamic as EMXC makes it less defensive than its style suggests. |
| CLSE | Convergence Long/Short Equity ETF | Long/Short Equity | -0.91% | -2.06% | 10.19% | 31.53% | 2.82% | -2.17% | 1.0915 | 38.6523 | Uptrend | 1.52% | NVDA, GOOGL, MU, AMZN, GOOG, AVGO, AAPL, AMD, FTNT, SNDK | Long/short equity with a tech-heavy long book — the short leg is what keeps its drawdown modest and makes it a way to stay invested in AI leaders with hedged direction. Its higher fee buys risk control, and this screen's shallow deviation reflects that dampening. |
| GMOI | GMO International Value ETF | International Value | 0.68% | -3.07% | 6.48% | 31.35% | 3.80% | -4.56% | 0.5802 | 52.4258 | Uptrend | 0.60% | TTE.PA, BNS.TO, BNP.PA, RIO, BBVA, 9432.T, SNY, GSK, TD, DBK.DE | GMO's value franchise with European banks, energy and telecom; the top holdings are large integrated names rather than small-cap deep value. It has been one of the better-diversified ways to express the non-US cash-flow rotation, with far less drawdown than its commodity-leaning peers. |
| IDHQ | Invesco S&P International Developed Quality ETF | International Developed Quality | -0.07% | -0.10% | 12.70% | 30.88% | 5.65% | -5.20% | 0.7157 | 52.124 | Uptrend | 0.29% | ASML.AS, ROP.SW, NOVN.SW, NESN.SW, SAP.DE, RR.L, 6857.T, ABBN.SW, 6098.T, ALV.DE | Quality screen over developed international names — ASML, Nestlé, SAP, Roche, the kind of compounders that hold up when rates rise. The quality filter explains why its pullback is shallow and why it sits well above the 150-day line despite the global risk-off tone. |
| VFMF | Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF | Multifactor | -0.43% | 0.34% | 11.81% | 30.37% | 5.83% | -1.98% | 1.0028 | 55.8783 | Uptrend | 0.18% | MU, BMY, NEM, TRV, MO, BNY, COP, MRK, EOG, ABBV | Multifactor sleeve that blends value, momentum, low vol and quality; top names span miners, insurers and energy. A modest fee and factor diversification make it a sturdier core holding than single-factor value ETFs, though the MU/INTC presence shows momentum still leaks in. |
| SEIV | SEI Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Value Factor ETF | US Large Cap Value | -0.74% | -1.55% | 13.76% | 30.27% | 5.25% | -3.55% | 0.5378 | 45.9713 | Uptrend | 0.15% | NVDA, AAPL, MU, GOOG, VZ, CAH, GM, MSFT, C, PRU | Enhanced large-cap value with a very low fee and a holding list that includes NVDA, AAPL, MSFT and GOOG — enhanced definitions of value mean it can own quality mega-caps. Worth checking overlap with core value index funds before using it as a standalone sleeve. |
| XLK | State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF | Technology | -3.02% | -2.33% | 19.15% | 29.73% | 4.47% | -9.17% | 2.0105 | 33.3302 | Uptrend | 0.08% | NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, AMD, AVGO, MU, INTC, PLTR, CSCO, LRCX | The sector benchmark and the institutional way to own US tech; its elevated turnover is the clearest read on whether tech buyers are stepping in during this drawdown. As an almost-free core holding, its technical state matters more as a leading indicator than as a standalone trade. |
| DFEV | Dimensional Emerging Markets Value ETF | Emerging Markets Value | -1.57% | -4.46% | 4.37% | 29.48% | 0.35% | -9.00% | 0.8649 | 33.5661 | Uptrend | 0.43% | 000660.KQ, 00939, 2317.TW, SMSN, RELIANCE.NS, 2454.TW, 01398, 005930.KQ, 03988, 3037.TW | EM value with a deliberate tilt toward Chinese banks and Korean memory plus Indian cyclical value. EM value has been one of the more attractive valuation stories, and its lag versus EM growth means a rotation could compound a rebound here. |
| EWJV | iShares MSCI Japan Value ETF | Japan Value | -0.27% | -4.66% | 7.64% | 28.93% | 4.04% | -5.54% | 0.9509 | 41.4938 | Uptrend | 0.15% | 8306.T, 7203.T, 8316.T, 8411.T, 9984.T, 8058.T, 8031.T, 6752.T, 9433.T, 6981.T | Japan value via financials, autos and trading houses — the classic beneficiary of yen weakness and bank margin expansion, with a very low fee. Japan has been one of the few markets holding its trend through the global drawdown, so this is closer to a pause than a correction. |
| RSST | Return Stacked U.S. Stocks & Managed Futures ETF | US Stocks & Managed Futures | -1.50% | 0.33% | 11.22% | 28.92% | 5.91% | -4.48% | 0.8877 | 41.5004 | Uptrend | 0.99% | SPYM, FGBLZ26, FGXXX | Return-stacked stocks plus managed futures; the futures sleeve is designed to profit from volatility, which is why its downside has been contained while risk assets fell. High fee buys genuine crisis alpha — a useful diversifier, not a growth sleeve. |
| PATN | Pacer Nasdaq International Patent Leaders ETF | Patent Leaders | -1.64% | -5.50% | 5.87% | 28.65% | -2.16% | -12.31% | 0.6204 | 31.0687 | Uptrend | 0.65% | 2330.TW, 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, ASML.AS, 0700.HK, ROP.SW, 7203.T, NOVN.SW, SAP.DE, 2454.TW | Patent-leader construction over foreign developed tech — ASML, SAP, Asian chip names and Japanese autos, so a concentrated geographic tech bet wrapped in an 'innovation' narrative. Small asset base adds liquidity risk on top of the trend question. |
| CPER | United States Copper Index Fund ETV | Copper | 0.13% | -0.40% | 5.93% | 28.50% | 3.23% | -4.66% | 0.6343 | 46.2868 | Upward channel (21%), Uptrend | — | — | Pure copper exposure via futures, with the upward channel still intact — this is the cleanest commodity-cycle expression in the list and benefits from electrification and grid capex. Contango and roll costs are the persistent drag on long-term holders of physically-backed commodity funds. |
| COPY | Tweedy, Browne Insider + Value ETF | Insider Value | -0.38% | -0.95% | 7.52% | 28.27% | 4.03% | -2.87% | 1.1368 | 55.0992 | Uptrend | 0.80% | EB5.SI, BKT.MC, DINO, REP.MC, PEY.TO, IGG.L, 086790.KQ, NORION.ST, BME.L, NA.TO | Insider-buying plus value screen that also holds foreign small caps and spin-offs — a genuinely idiosyncratic construction that historically does well when the market rewards cash flow and underappreciated names. Low turnover means it is not chasing the AI momentum trade. |
| VONV | Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF | US Large Cap Value | -0.13% | 1.17% | 13.38% | 27.58% | 6.42% | -1.39% | 1.7526 | 59.1426 | Uptrend | 0.06% | AMZN, AAPL, MSFT, JPM, BRK-B, XOM, JNJ, CSCO, WMT, ABBV | Broader-than-IWD Russell 1000 value with a very low fee and well over 150% turnover; essentially a commodity-style core value exposure. Its near-high position reflects the market's current preference for value over growth. |
| DFUV | Dimensional US Marketwide Value ETF | US Marketwide Value | -0.12% | -0.24% | 10.84% | 27.53% | 4.29% | -2.83% | 0.7963 | 51.0461 | Uptrend | 0.21% | JPM, AMZN, XOM, MU, JNJ, BRK-B, CVX, INTC, META, CSCO | DFUV keeps its value definition tighter than IWD, tilting toward cheaper names, yet it still carries megacap tech — a reminder that US value indices have been increasingly diluted by quality mega caps. Slightly more concentrated and lower cost than the Vanguard equivalent. |
| GREK | Global X MSCI Greece ETF | Greece | -0.67% | -6.05% | 10.72% | 27.48% | 5.36% | -8.41% | 0.3818 | 39.8974 | Uptrend | 0.56% | ETE.AT, EUROB.AT, TPEIR.AT, ALPHA.AT, MOH.AT, PPC.AT, MTLN.L, GEKTERNA.AT, OPTIMA.AT, HTO.AT | Greek banks and infrastructure drive this — a post-crisis recovery story with real earnings reform behind it, not just a cyclical trade. The very low turnover reflects limited interest; single-country Greek exposure remains thin and prone to gaps. |
| IWD | iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF | US Large Cap Value | -0.14% | 1.17% | 13.37% | 27.41% | 6.40% | -1.39% | 1.7021 | 59.6314 | Uptrend | 0.18% | AMZN, AAPL, MSFT, BRK-B, JPM, XOM, JNJ, INTC, ABBV, CSCO | The canonical US large-cap value benchmark with 170% turnover; its very high share of members above the 50-day line is a useful gauge of whether the value bid is intact. As a core building block, the uptrend matters as a regime signal. |
| IVLU | iShares MSCI Intl Value Factor ETF | International Value | 0.14% | -4.06% | 2.99% | 27.00% | 1.19% | -5.46% | 0.9575 | 43.4615 | Uptrend | 0.31% | HSBA.L, 7203.T, SHEL.L, SAN.MC, BNP.PA, SIE.DE, BATS.L, ROP.SW, 8306.T, NOVN.SW | Developed international value with European banks and Japanese industrials — highly correlated with DFIV and GMOI, so most investors need only one. Its above-150-day position suggests the non-US value trend is holding better than the US tech trend. |
| DFIV | Dimensional International Value ETF | International Value | 0.59% | -2.49% | 3.63% | 26.77% | 2.53% | -4.40% | 1.345 | 50.6807 | Uptrend | 0.27% | SHEL, TTE.PA, SAN.MC, 7203.T, BAS.DE, HSBC, 8316.T, TD, BAYN.DE, SHEL.L | Similar construction to IVLU; the main differentiator is holding-level detail and trading costs, and its elevated turnover shows institutional use. Watch overlap if pairing with other international value funds — this is close to a duplicate. |
| PPH | VanEck Pharmaceutical ETF | Pharmaceuticals | 0.26% | 2.79% | 10.44% | 26.71% | 7.27% | -2.94% | 0.6406 | 62.833 | Uptrend | 0.36% | LLY, MRK, NVO, PFE, BMY, TEVA.TA, GSK, MCK, COR, HLN | Big pharma plus NVO and GSK, with health care being one of the few sectors to draw a bid during the withdrawal of risk appetite. High RSI asks for patience on entry, but sector rotation favors it and GLP-1 exposure adds a growth kicker to a defensive sleeve. |
| SCJ | iShares MSCI Japan Sm Cap | Japan Small Cap | 0.23% | -2.20% | 5.86% | 26.57% | 3.49% | -2.32% | 0.4577 | 44.3739 | Upward channel (0%), Uptrend | 0.50% | 6963.T, 5831.T, 7167.T, 8354.T, 6976.T, 3436.T, 5333.T, 9147.T, 5334.T, 2768.T | Japanese small caps get the domestic consumption and reforms story without the mega-cap export concentration. Currency exposure is unhedged, so the yen drags on dollar returns; low turnover leaves plenty of liquidity headroom. |
| COWZ | Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF | Cash Flow | 0.01% | 0.87% | 12.44% | 26.42% | 7.70% | -2.85% | 0.9856 | 63.4508 | Uptrend | 0.49% | QCOM, VLO, MPC, GEV, PFE, SNDK, GILD, ACN, CVX, MO | Cash-flow screen with high RSI — evidence that the market is rewarding free-cash-flow generation precisely when it is penalizing long-duration growth. Composition skews to refiners, energy and pharma; a natural fit for the current rate regime. |
| XNTK | State Street SPDR NYSE Technology ETF | Technology | -3.65% | -3.35% | 17.48% | 26.18% | 2.40% | -10.66% | 5.0444 | 31.7946 | Uptrend | 0.35% | MU, INTC, MRVL, AMD, CRWD, LRCX, AMAT, ASML, ANET, TSM | Equal-ish tech construction that dilutes mega-cap dominance but concentrates in semis and equipment — a high-beta tech expression. Its extreme turnover is the standout: someone is trading this heavily, which often precedes a directional resolution. |
| VPL | Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF | Pacific | -1.00% | -6.58% | 1.68% | 25.98% | -1.82% | -9.58% | 1.173 | 32.1189 | Uptrend | 0.07% | 005930.KQ, 000660.KQ, 8306.T, BHP.AX, 7203.T, CBA.AX, 8316.T, 8035.T, 6098.T, 6857.T | Broad Asia-Pacific with Japan, Australia and Korea as the big weights, so it is exposed to both the Japan strength and the Korean semiconductor drag. Very cheap fee and deep liquidity make it a practical core ex-US option, though the semis influence is growing. |
| THD | iShares MSCI Thailand ETF | Thailand | 0.18% | -0.98% | 2.20% | 25.54% | 1.19% | -4.28% | 0.4773 | 48.2325 | Upward channel (12%), Uptrend | 0.59% | DELTA-R, PTT-R, ADVANC-R, AOT-R, GULF-R, CPALL-R, BDMS-R, PTTEP-R, SCC-R, KTB-R | Thai banks, energy and tourism recovery names; one of the cheapest valuations in Asia and an upward channel intact, but persistent low turnover makes it a patient, illiquid-ish bet with political and tourism-cycle risk. |
| AVDV | Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF | International Small Cap Value | 0.46% | -3.35% | 1.75% | 24.96% | 1.86% | -5.23% | 0.8156 | 42.054 | Upward channel (19%), Uptrend | 0.36% | ATS.VI, PRU.AX, BGEO.L, WTB.L, CLIS.TA, BTO.TO, BRBY.L, OGC.TO, RRL.AX, CDE | Developed small-cap value with European and Australian financials and mining — deep-value exposure at a reasonable fee, benefiting from a rotation into smaller non-US names. Currency exposure and small-cap illiquidity are the main considerations. |
| SPHB | Invesco S&P 500 High Beta ETF | High Beta | -3.51% | -4.17% | 5.83% | 24.87% | -1.54% | -11.14% | 1.1104 | 33.2631 | Uptrend | 0.25% | SNDK, MRNA, AMD, MU, SMCI, COIN, MRVL, HOOD, INTC, LRCX | A high-beta basket of the market's most volatile large caps — memory, crypto-adjacent and levered neocloud names dominate, which means it is the most exposed to the current de-risking of speculative liquidity. A sharp risk-on reversal would be its most natural catalyst, but that regime is not the one we are in. |
