Heading into trading on Monday, swing traders will find some of the biggest edges in technology exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in general and semiconductor ETFs in specific. ETFs from this sector have closed lower for three days in a row and are increasingly oversold.
On the other end of the spectrum, country funds representing Indian stocks have become very overbought over the past several days and are due for a short-term pullback. Traders and investors interested in Indian ETFs may find them available at lower prices over the next few days due to their currently extreme overbought status.
