IWM trade ideas

Wyckoff Distribution + InflationThe IWM has completed It's classic Wyckoff Distribution and we are now at Phase E. The target is 170-169 where we have found support. This is a warning for the entire Stock Market to abandon ship while you still can. The IVM is the Titanic and has hit the ICEBERG. We don't have enough boats to save everyone. People will be left on the ship stuck at all time highs holding the bags. "The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists." Ernest Hemingway This post is not Financial Advise.

IWM is going down and taking the SPY with it!From what I see is utilizing the fib retracement from the 2020 low to the top of you can see great support and resistance . Ironically looks like it's going to flirt with the 0.618 fib retracement level. IWM is on it's way down and I see it filling the gaps that I circled. Along the way the SPY is mimicking the movement of IWM , so I see more downside for SPY as well. I'm waiting to deploy my money around the 155 zone for IWM . I will watch for a bottoming for SPY around that time as well. If you're able to utilize puts this could be a good idea. I'm in the TSP so that is not an option for me currently. I'm in the G fund awaiting the best time to enter. Good luck all!

Russell 2000 (IWM) Head and Shoulders Suggests More DownsideA head-and-shoulders (H+S) pattern in the IWM suggests more downside. A while back I posted about the downward breakout from a nearly 12 month trading range in IWM. At the time, I had not seen the H+S pattern that had formed. The breakout (violation of the neckline) in the H+S pattern occurred several days after the downward breakout of the trend channel. @CMT_Association posted recently with excellent Fibonacci and P&F analysis providing credible targets / objectives to the downside. His post also pointed out IWM's relative strength versus SPX. IWM has been relatively the weakest major index in the US the past year. To add support to the downside targets discussed by @CMT_Association, I would note that one measuring objective for a H+S pattern is to calculate the maximum depth from the head of the H+S pattern to the neckline and project that distance from the breakout point. This method yields a target of approximately 174-175 in the IWM (ETF tracking Russell 2000). This 174-175 target based on the H+S pattern, interestingly, lies between the two Fibonacci retracements discussed by Stewart in his recent insightful post, which were 169.52 (.50) and 186.90 (.382).

What happens after double top rally in markets?I am using index ETFs here since I use them for option trades and they are so widely traded. Study DIA, SPY, and QQQ and note the double top similarity as it corresponds to RSI. DIA and SPY were a little stronger in that RSI showed a double top above 50. QQQ had an earlier 20 below 200 ma cross, so it is weaker and its RSI did a double retest of 50. Friday's candle broke the lows on these three charts and technically triggered more downside. However, in this anything can happen market, there is a possibility that this Friday-Monday pullback results in another move higher before making new lows. For trading, this means be patient and do not over-commit to one direction. You can start a smaller swing position and add more puts when you have more confidence in the trade. Also, though not shown here, stochastic %K has given a sell warning on the daily chart. The candles from 9-11 Feb moved %K from above 80 to below 20. Sometimes more downside follows immediately, while more often there is a price bounce up first as %D is still making its way lower. I cannot predict which will happen but I know to be on the lookout for a reason to buy puts. I want to discuss IWM separately, as it does not have the same double top formation on RSI and price. IWM is more bearish, as 20sma crossed below 200 earlier, and so this chart is weaker. When you look at its weekly chart and indicators, you may want to buy swing puts.

100% distribution IWM is in the final phase of a wyckoff distribution cycle. Its pretty obvious to where this is heading, and where we get our bounce. ( green trend line ) but before we get there, i see a quick little drop to the high 180s (186 to 188) then a little run to retest that downward resistance and then that is when we will get our bounce on the green trend line. which also lines up to where a distribution cycle would end... ( where the last accumulation ended) plus its time they remove the covid band-aid price target 160 to 170... but end of March. Good luck.

$IWM Russel 2000 - Small caps previous support now resistance?Small caps tend to lead the market. Not a great picture as we saw a strong reversal off previous support yesterday. Technically we have the 50dma trading below both the declining 200day sma and emas. The moving averages are pointing down and we are still under the anchored vwaps from the previous highs. We also seem to be forming a rising wedge formation which are usually continuation patterns in the direction of the previous trend (currently down). Not much to be bullish about in this chart, so odds are in favour of further downside, unless we can climb above a mountain of significant resistance levels above (something which seems unlikely at this stage).
