$IWM RECAP of Last Week Feb 10-14 YOU DON’T WANT TO GO LONG AT A DOWNWARD FACING MOVING AVERAGE - And in Friday’s Trading Range we had two of them. The 50 Day Moving average and the 30min 200MA and we got SMACKed back down after gapping over those on Friday. So Last Week was inflation Data. Monday we opened under the 35EMA and the 35EMA was underneath the 30min 200MA. That is a bearish signal. You can see how it acted as resistance and Tuesday we followed through with a gap down. Wednesday was CPI which came in hot and we gapped down to start the day and then traded up but still closed in the red. Thursday was PPI which was also hot and that brought us back to the 35EMA and we closed above it. Friday we made a run for the 50 Day moving average and opened with a gap above it - and you don’t want to go long at a downward facing moving average. Just a general rule of thumb and the 50 Day MA has a pretty decent downward momentum teamed up with the 30min 200MA that was going to get smacked. It just was. IWM closed flat on Friday -.08%

$IWM CPI DROP to PPI POP IWM still closed bearishly underneath the 50 Day moving average - watch out for the 30min 200 & 50DMA as resistance Inflation is good for the market. It’s not good for the consumer. Small-cap stocks, which represent smaller companies with market capitalizations typically below $2 billion, can be particularly sensitive to inflation. These companies often have less pricing power, meaning they struggle to pass on rising costs to consumers without losing market share. Additionally, small caps tend to rely more on debt financing, and higher inflation often leads to rising interest rates, increasing borrowing costs. This can squeeze their profit margins and limit growth opportunities.

$IWM Trending UpThe Russell 200 Index is clearly in an established uptrend as you can see on this weekly chart. The CPI number out this morning looks like it will push it back to the lower trendline. If recent history is still intact (it is for now), there may be an opportunity for a long trade on a reversal. All TBD. My plan is to wait for a reversal back to the upside then look for a low-risk reward entry. There is an area of resistance around that horizontal line as well. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Day Traders Feb 12 AMEX:IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Day Traders Feb 12 So last Friday we saw the 35EMA go under the 30min 200MA and that was a bear signal with confirmation as we saw the 30min 200 as remittance and than a gap down away from it and a continuation of the 35EMA lower. You can just look at the momentum going through this chart and see what’s happening here. Wide range though. 50DMA taking us lower, technical bounce at the 1hr 200MA Oversold and waiting for JPOW

$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Day Traders for Feb 7 20AMEX:IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Day Traders for Feb 7 2025 Another attempt to get above the 50 Day moving average here. The 50 day moving average is pointing down so I wouldn’t go long here until it is turned… more likely to trade flat along it for the moment. Just above use we have 230 where we have been seeing resistance. Quite a large trading range today - 1.62% not sure if we will use it all with this momentum but lets see.. 232 is the top of the implied move 225 on the downside

$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Feb 4 25CRITICAL LEVEL - for the 35EMA and the 30 min 200MA - It can bounce here and we remain bullish - or we bring the 35EMA under the 30min 200 and its bear time... IWM right now is seeing a little bit of resistance around the 225 level which is so funny to me how often we see that level. We’re at the 30min 200 MA and the 35 EMA just above us and that is a critical level if we are going to stay bullish, then we will bounce here and if not, the 35 EMA will come underneath the 30min 200 MA. this is a big level here. We also have that down gap from yesterday that we are currently right at and seeing a bit of resistance. The top of the expected move is at 228 today and that is just underneath the 50 day moving average and then tomorrow’s top of the expected move is 229 which is just above the 50DMA To the downside, we still have a little bit of that island gap open. We closed about half of it out yesterday and the other half is down there near the bottom of the implied move at 220 and 219.
