VTUS is currently trading in the lower part of its 52 week range, which is not a good signal. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new highs.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days, which is not what you would like to see during a strong up movement.
The short term trend is positive, while the long term trend is still negative. So this is evolving in the right direction, but it may need some more time to really turn around the trend.
In the last month VTUS has a been trading in the 1.28 - 1.65 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range, so some resistance may be found above.
