IGV Falls 2.8% to $104.73 as Software Rally Hits $107.60-$108.60 Resistance

Summary

  • IGV dropped 2.8% on Tuesday to $104.73 after running into a technical resistance band at roughly $107.60-$108.60 following Monday's sharp advance.
  • The pullback came after the software ETF had surged about 44% from its April 10 low, including a 6% jump on Monday that briefly pushed it back into positive territory for 2025.
  • That rebound followed a slide of more than 37% from the sector's September 2025 peak to April lows, when investors feared AI could undermine software business models.
  • Chart analysts say the broader recovery remains intact if IGV holds above its 200-day moving average near $99 and an uptrend line around $95; a clean break above resistance would point to about $116 and then the record high near $118.
