Below is a look at ETFs that currently offer attractive buying opportunities.
The ETFs included in this list are rated as buy candidates for two reasons. First, each of these funds is deemed to be in an uptrend based on the fact that its 50-day moving average is above its 200-day moving average, which are popular indicators for gauging long-term and medium-term trends, respectively.
Second, each of these ETFs is also trading below its five-day moving average, thereby offering a near-term ‘buy on the dip’ opportunity, given the longer-term uptrend at hand. Note that this prospects list also features a liquidity screen by excluding ETFs with average trading volumes below the one million shares mark. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.

- 25 ETFs made it to the buy on the dip prospects list. The U.S. market gained, driven by optimism regarding a potential ceasefire in the Middle East conflict involving Iran, which eased geopolitical volatility. A massive rebound in technology stocks, fueled by strong AI demand and positive sentiment, further bolstered the Nasdaq and S&P 500.
- Several oil & gas ETFs like Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares (GUSH ), United States Brent Oil Fund (BNO ), SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP ), and First Trust Natural Gas ETF (FCG ) ranked high on last month’s Buy on the dip list. Oil prices fell primarily due to easing geopolitical tensions and a ceasefire between the US and Iran. This eased fears of supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, causing a reversal in prices that had previously risen. Additionally, reports showed increased U.S. crude inventories, raising fears of oversupply. U.S. natural gas prices also fell due to higher-than-expected storage levels, mild weather curbing demand, and robust domestic production.
- Many energy-focused ETFs such as First Trust Energy AlphaDEX Fund (FXN ), iShares Global Energy ETF (IXC ), Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE ), and more also dominated the list. Overall, the energy sector fell nearly 0.60% in the last month.
- Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP ) also made it to the list. The US consumer staples sector fell last month due to a combination of high inflation, rising interest rates, and investor preference for growth stocks. March 2026 saw a 0.9% rise in consumer prices, which hurt profit margins.
- Several agri-focused funds, such as Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (DBA ), Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN ), and Teucrium Wheat Fund (WEAT ) were buy on the dip contenders last month. The US agriculture sector fell recently due to a combination of surging input costs, specifically high fertilizer prices driven by geopolitical tensions, extreme climate conditions affecting harvests, and reduced global demand. Wheat prices in the USA also fell, driven primarily by the USDA forecasting higher-than-expected domestic and global stockpiles. Check out our Agricultural Commodities ETFs’ list here
