Base since 19 Oct 2026

NDIA is in a base. Here's why that matters.

NDIA's moving averages are tangled and the price is moving sideways. The trend hasn't picked a direction yet. Its price is 15.8% below its 12-month high.

Why it matters: Bases are where the next big move starts. A breakout can begin a new uptrend, while a breakdown can start a long fall. Buying a satellite before the breakout often means waiting months for nothing to happen.

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.
