Cloud ETFs Scan
Cloud ETFs Scan
Cloud ETFs are in a mixed recovery — the broad SaaS basket is still broken, but individual names are diverging hard. WCLD (pure-play cloud) hit RSI 38.5 and sits -23% below SMA200 — the most distressed ETF in the scan. IGV (software) and CLOU are holding in RSI 50+ territory with weak-up trends. The SaaS/cloud macro story remains under multiple compression pressure from rates and AI-threatens-SaaS narrative. Last scan was 16 days ago (2026-04-10).

Tier Analysis
IGV — iShares Expanded Tech-Software ($85.20)
The broadest software ETF and the best performer here. RSI 54.5 — neutral to slightly positive. +6% in 30 days suggests a bounce off the April lows. But the structural picture is still negative: -15.9% below SMA200, death cross, -28% from 52-week high, -10% over 1 year. Top holdings include MSFT, ADBE, ORCL, CRM — these are mature software names that got caught in the multiple compression. The 30-day bounce is real but you're still buying into a death cross. Watch for SMA20 crossover (~$81.40) to confirm.
CLOU — Global X Cloud Computing ($19.72)
Pure-play cloud computing. RSI 51.9 — the most neutral of the group. +0.9% 30D is barely positive but shows stabilization. -9.7% below SMA200. Better relative performance than WCLD. Top holdings include Zscaler, Snowflake, Twilio — higher-growth names that are more rate-sensitive but also recover faster when risk appetite returns. The SMA20/SMA50 spread is tight ($19.34/$19.38) — a potential coil before a move.
SKYY — First Trust Cloud Computing ($109.42)
Hybrid cloud ETF with some infrastructure exposure. -6.3% in one week stands out — this is the worst 7D performer. RSI 47.5, death cross, -12.3% below SMA200. The telecom/hyperscaler mix makes this less responsive to pure SaaS recovery. Underperforming peers on both short and long timeframes.
WCLD — WisdomTree Cloud Computing ($25.40)
The pure-play cloud ETF is the most distressed name in this scan. RSI 38.5 approaching oversold, -23.4% below SMA200 (worst in group), -31.6% from 52-week high. The -13.1% 7D drop is alarming — that's a violent single-week move for a diversified ETF. Holdings are small-mid cap pure SaaS names that carry maximum multiple compression risk. -51% over 5 years is a sobering long-term track record.
Note: WCLD is approaching RSI 30 territory. At RSI 30 with a Fed pivot signal, this is a contrarian entry setup — but we are not there yet.
