Cloud ETFs Scan — October 9, 2026 Close
Cloud ETFs Scan — October 9, 2026 Close
All four cloud-software funds rose for a second straight week — WCLD +6.06%, CLOU +4.51%, SKYY +4.01%, IGV +3.91% — and all four closed Friday above the top of the trading range each had held for about nine weeks, with WCLD at its 52-week high. RSI now runs 65.6 to 69.3: strong and close to extended. IGV is the caveat; its trailing year is still -2.59%.
Data as of the 2026-10-09 close (settled, Friday). The previous edition closed October 2; the seven-day column runs from that close to this one, so it is the change since then.
Quick Snapshot
| Signal | Reading |
|---|---|
| Overall | 🟢 Breakout attempt: 4 of 4 up, all 4 above their 200-day averages, all 4 closed above their base highs on Friday. None at RSI 70 yet. |
| Leaders | WCLD (6.06%), CLOU (4.51%), SKYY (4.01%) |
| Laggards | IGV (3.91%), the weakest of four gainers |
| Caveat | Tape from the desk's pre-computed summaries, 2026-10-09 close. These are index funds, so ticker news does not apply, and no dated sector item explains the week. |
What's Going On
Friday did most of the work. The four funds rose 2.79% to 3.86% on October 9, and SKYY traded 3.32 times its average volume (WCLD 1.36 times, CLOU 1.35, IGV 0.76). Each closed above the high of the range it had held for 8.8 to 9.4 weeks: WCLD $43.74 against $43.54, IGV $112.67 against $112.34, CLOU $30.11 against $29.77, SKYY $174.89 against $173.15. One close above a base high is a breakout attempt; the confirmation is a second close above it, or a pullback that holds it.
WCLD (1Y +22.59%, 33.2% above its 200-day), CLOU (+27.37%, 30.6% above) and SKYY (+27.2%, 30.7% above) are intact trends at or within 0.07% of their 52-week highs. IGV sits 20.2% above its 200-day but is -2.59% on the year and -4.32% from its high: a repair now breaking out of its range, not yet a trend.
Cause not on file. Ticker-level news does not apply to index funds (their pulls date from April to July and two of them failed). The October 3–8 article and X captures carry no item on cloud software, the event records have none, and no October 9 captures are on file yet. Context only: the October 8 market brief recorded the AI-hardware cohort selling on the OpenAI revenue report (CNBC) while Cloudflare held; no receipt says money moved from hardware into software.
What Changed Since Prior Scan
Four of four rose again (October 2: four of four). RSI moved up from a 55–60.9 band to 65.6–69.3. WCLD led both weeks; IGV went from second to last. New this week: all four closed above their base highs, and WCLD closed at its 52-week high.
How To Read The Board
This is a price-and-momentum screen built from the desk's pre-computed summaries: it shows where each name sits on the tape, not why it moved. RSI under 30 is a washout and 70 or above is extended; neither is a recommendation on its own. The structure label carries the long view, and it outranks the week:
- Trend intact: above the 200-day average with a positive trailing year. A bad week here is a pullback.
- Repair: above the 200-day but still down on the year. Price has recovered; the trend has not yet proved itself.
- Trend under test: below the 200-day with a positive year. The 200-day is the line to retake.
- Trend broken: below the 200-day and down on the year.
A raw screen reading becomes a setup only when an intact trend pulls back and holds a level, then turns up. No insider, fundamentals or options data is included.

Entry Zones
Levels are the 20-, 50- and 200-day averages from the summaries, in dollars. Each row is a condition, not an order.
| Stock | Entry zone ($) | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| WCLD | 40.5–41.29 | Breakout attempt from a base; a retest that holds the base high or the 20-day is the entry, and a close back under the 50-day voids it. |
| CLOU | 28.04–28.68 | Breakout attempt from a base; a retest that holds the base high or the 20-day is the entry, and a close back under the 50-day voids it. |
| SKYY | 162.21–166.46 | Breakout attempt from a base; a retest that holds the base high or the 20-day is the entry, and a close back under the 50-day voids it. |
| IGV | 104.92–107.46 | Repair breaking out of a base; a retest that holds the base high is the entry, a close back under the 50-day voids it. The trailing year is still negative. |
Action Matrix
| Stock | Signal | Action | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| WCLD | 🟢 Trend intact | 🔒 Hold | Fund. Closed at its 52-week high, above its base high. |
| CLOU | 🟢 Trend intact | 🔒 Hold | Fund. Closed above its base high. |
| SKYY | 🟢 Trend intact | 🔒 Hold | Fund. Friday volume well above average; closed above its base high. |
| IGV | 🟡 Repair | 🔍 Watch | Fund. Repair breaking out of a base; trailing year still negative. |
What To Watch Next
| Watch | Trigger | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| All four | A second close above the base highs named above | Confirms the breakout attempt; a slip back into the range makes Friday a false start. |
| IGV | Trailing year turns positive while it holds the 50-day (104.92) | The broad software fund is the only one still down on the year. |
| SKYY | Volume stays above average on up days | Friday's turnover was over three times normal; follow-through separates accumulation from a one-day spike. |
| Any fund | RSI at 70 or above | An extended reading right after a breakout argues for waiting on the retest instead of chasing. |
