SCHF holds its buy signal but Signal Strength stays weak

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

SCHF, the developed international equity ETF, is back within a hair of its all-time high after a 1% weekly gain, and a fresh buy signal just kicked in: our SCHF technical analysis counts 4 tests of that high over the past 10 weeks, a sign of a heavily contested resistance. Signal strength stays low, 26 out of 100, and the quality band flags trading as not recommended: better to wait for a pullback.

This week's summary

SCHF, the developed international equity ETF, confirms the buy signal that fired last week. The confirmation week, however, closes lower, and Signal Strength stays low, 26 out of 100. The stock is trading right at its all-time highs, a level already tested several times over recent weeks — a heavily contested resistance. The weekly technical picture still leans bullish, with all structural moving averages aligned. Our take remains cautious: we'd rather wait for a pullback before adding exposure.
