Downtrend since 26 Oct 2026

JPHQ is in a downtrend. Here's why that matters.

JPHQ's price is below its 20-day average and its averages are stacked downward.

Why it matters: Downtrends can run for months, and that is where most big losses happen. For satellite holdings, waiting in cash until the trend turns has often been the better choice.

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.
