Is AECV in a base or a trend?

AECV doesn't have enough price history yet (about 11 months) for a reliable trend reading, or it is a cash-like fund whose price barely moves.

Why it matters: Every ETF moves between bases and trends. Knowing which stage it is in helps decide when to buy a satellite, and when to wait.

At ETF Adviser the core of a portfolio stays invested through every stage, and satellite ETFs are only bought in an uptrend. Members get a weekly update on which ETFs are breaking out of a base and which trends have broken.

Why no chart? This ETF does not have a reliable 12-month price history yet.
