$IWM Reversal?I took a chance on AMEX:IWM yesterday on the reversal candle. I liked the action today as it followed through. It did get rejected today right at the area of horizontal resistance although it did close in the upper 2/3 area of the candle. I look at that as being bullish. I will look to add to my ½ sized position if / when it can get over that flat resistance area and again if it can break above the downtrend line. All TBD. My Stop is under that red candle from last Friday. See notations on chart for my thought process. My thinking is that “if” there is going to be a 4th quarter rally the small caps will need to participate. Again, all TBD. Not investing / trading advice. Comments always welcome. Thanks for looking.

$IWM - at a crossroadsAMEX:IWM In my earlier post, I mentioned that we could see a reversal. Well, the reversal persisted until $177 but fell short of the $180 target area, influenced by the outbreak of a war over the weekend and slightly hotter than expected CPI. Keep a close eye on the critical support area at $169. Bulls will be hoping for this area to hold and facilitate a bounce. Until $182 is reclaimed, the Russell 2000 remains in a vulnerable position. However, should it drop below $169 level, a bearish scenario could unfold. Bearish targets: $165 $155 Bullish targets: $177 $181 $191 Currently, it stands at a crossroads.

Is the Russel 2000 ETF about to collapse?The charts are indicating caution. Articles, social media, ever since the markets have been in turmoil those past two years you will now read how shrewd investors are taking refuge in precious metals and index funds for a steady yet underwhelming return in the years to come. But what if there was no return in either until at least 5+ years? What if the only returns to be made were with individual stock picks? I think there’s a strong argument to be made for both. But first the Russel 2000 ETF TA, why bearish? On the above 1 month chart: 1) Price action and RSI support both fail. 2) Price action exits a bear flag with a 25% measured move to the downside. 3) MACD crossover (blue circles). A reminder this is the monthly chart. Looking left, a bearish crossover has resulted in 30% drawdowns in the market in the months the follow this signal. 4) It is interesting that a 25% correction will also find price action strike the golden ratio, which is also equal to the bear flag extension! Yeah.. (think John Wick), it’s bearish. Now what of this 5 year wait before a return? I think both metals and index funds are going to be brutal for any investor who enters a long positions today. Why? Look left, it is that simple. Typically long positions before 30% corrections in this ETF required 3 years of waiting before a breakeven point, with the exception of 2007, which took 6 years. Why the difference? Very simple really, the higher they climb the further they fall. The recent market performance from April 2020 saw 110% return for those investors who took long positions. Just as with 2002 market top after a 140% rally a long position would now take 6 to 7 years to print a return. Why individual stock picks? This is a traders market. A blanket sweep across multiple positions is only good during times of easy money, in my opinion. Performance in the market will only be achieved through finding value stocks rather than growth. Again, my own opinion. Since the Russel 2000 ETF started correcting in April 2021 there have been exceptional individual stock picks that have returned well over 100%. Some examples below. Questions? just ask! Ww Examples of individual stocks picks that have outperformed: Weight Watchers international, up 200% since the market low Pacific Biosciences of California, up 170% since the market low Vroom up over 200%

IWM: small-cap firms at risk as prices decline (27/09/2023)Recently, small-cap companies, in particular, have been adversely affected by the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes. The Russell 2000 index is down 7% since the beginning of September. According to Ned Davis Research, 30% of the companies in this index have floating interest rates on their debt obligations. In contrast, only 6% of firms included in the S&P 500 index have borrowed funds under similar terms. This explains why small-cap companies are the most vulnerable to the tight monetary policy of the American Central Bank. Considering these developments, it might be interesting to examine instruments that reflect the value dynamics of small-cap companies. Today, our focus is on the IWM ETF chart (NYSE: IWM), which invests in companies comprising the Russell 2000 index. On the D1 timeframe, resistance has formed at 178.50, with support at 177.05. This level was broken through on Monday 25 September 2023, and a new support level has not yet been established. There is also a clear downward trend on the H1 timeframe. The price could drop to 168.25 in the short term and to 162.45 in the medium term. — Ideas and other content presented on this page should not be considered as guidance for trading or an investment advice.

Russell 2000 at support levels. We have discussed the Russell 2000 head and shoulder pattern and long term double top on many venues, whether this weekend's Week Ahead" video, or on our daily FACE shows, it's a familiar chart. However, the daily RSI has just reached oversold. Oversold and become MORE oversold and the pattern targets are actually towards 2022 lows, but the 78% retracement of the March lows to July 2023 highs is at 174.42, and the ascending trend line of the Oct 2022 lows to present day is not far away. These may be levels that provide a bounce and better levels to be on the short side like closer to 180 vs where we currently trade at 174.50.

$IWM Head & Shoulders PatternAMEX:IWM Head & Shoulders Pattern, The Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) is currently displaying a Head & Shoulders pattern, a classic technical analysis formation often considered a reliable predictor of future price movements. In this pattern, the "head" represents a peak that is higher than two other peaks, known as the "shoulders." Generally, the pattern signifies a potential reversal in the prevailing trend—indicating a bearish reversal after an uptrend or a bullish reversal following a downtrend. Traders and investors often watch for the neckline, a support or resistance line connecting the lows of the pattern, to be broken as confirmation that the pattern is complete and that the anticipated trend reversal is likely to occur.

If you count with a market crash this one goes firstMonthly timeframe chart. Price is building up a huge bearish flag, it may try another push to the flag resistance (I would open a short then) but it doesn't look good at all for the Russell 2000. Another strategy is to open a small position now and add if price hits the resistance and is rejected or add is price breaks down the flag support in the weekly timeframe. This is a long term trade it could take several weeks to play out. TP at 145 support. SL at 205 level.

The Day Ahead: IWM, QQQ, TQQQ, GDXJ, FXI, EWZIt's Friday and a Triple Witching to boot! Well, IV isn't great here pretty much across the board for us premium sellers. Nevertheless, if you must play (and some of us gotta), here's what's shakin' ... . Broad Market QQQ, .8 IVR, 17.8% 30-day IV, with the shortest duration in which the <16 delta is paying greater than 1% of the strike price: December 29th. IWM, .7 IVR, 16.8% 30-day, with the shortest duration in which the <16 delta is paying greater than 1% of the strike price: December 29th. SPY, .9 IVR, 12.9% 30-day, with the shortest duration in which the <16 delta is paying greater than 1%: (Ugh), March (there is no February monthly yet). Exchange-Traded Funds Ideally, you want to hit these when IVR >50 and IV is >35%, but IVR is at rock bottom, with most skimming the very low end of their 52-week ranges. Sometimes, you just have to settle for what the market gives you. TQQQ, 8.5 IVR; 52.6% 30-day. GDXJ, .6 IVR; 31.6% 30-day. FXI, 7.9 IVR; 29.4% 30-day. EWZ, 2.8 IVR; 26.7% 30-day. Fortunately, all of these are <$45/share, so you will be small in terms of buying power effect with the natural exception of the leveraged TQQQ, which your broker may require be cash secured on margin (which naturally makes it less sexy in that environment from an ROC %-age perspective). Stay small and don't get all of your powder wet.

Opening (IRA): IWM December 29th 155 Short Put... for a 1.56 credit. Comments: Rounding out rungs in the last of the available expiries in the 4th quarter, targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market using short puts. If I had nothing on in IWM, I'd probably go shorter duration (e.g., November 17th) where the 165 is paying 1.75 at the moment; I already have a rung at that strike, so am going out farther in duration to keep theta on and burning. The same would probably go for my Friday stuff in the Q's and in SPY.

IWM looking vulnerableThe Russel 2000 closed below the daily 200 MA today. It's never a good sign for the breadth in the market when the Russel starts breaking down. I think there's a strong likelhood we continue to breakdown, based off todays IWM price action. Small caps got rejected today at the pre market high and just kept selling all day. What makes thing price action bad is the fact that we closed below the pre market low and the daily 200 MA. The volume on todays close was higher than usual which also indicates some serious selling pressure. A clear Head & shoulders pattern is apparent on the chart, if this triggers...watch out below.
