Joshua StegaetfadviserTrend check
Uptrend since 22 Oct 2026

F100 is in an uptrend. Here's why that matters.

F100's price is above its 20-day average and its 10, 20, 50 and 200-day averages are stacked upward. The trend is on investors' side. Its price is at or near its 12-month high.

Why it matters: Uptrends are when satellite ETFs tend to do their best work. The key is knowing when the trend breaks, so gains aren't handed back.

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.
