Trend Overview

Trend Building – Constructive Composite Score: +3 / 7

IGV is trending in a positive direction but the setup is not yet fully developed. Momentum has been running for 16 days though strength is not yet accelerating. The overall configuration is constructive but not yet at peak alignment.

What to watch

The trend deserves respect but not blind confidence. Position sizing should reflect the incomplete alignment. A further improvement in momentum strength and ADX would raise conviction.
