$IWM - backfilled gap downIWM has reached and filled the gap down from Monday. Still within this range since beginning of the year. It looks like it could easily continue higher but SPY and QQQ have not filled their gaps. Would be nice to see the IWM break out from here. We are entering small cap season.

22-9-21 Bull TrapIm not bullish on the overall market and think this is the bulltrap. Lots of resistance here. Shortby IsseyUpdated 1
$IWM - Gap fillIWM backfilled that gap from several days ago. I would love to see her touch the support line again. That was a fun couple weeks last time. by UnknownUnicorn167392720
9/20 IWMstill watch blue and pink lines (~210, 220) I think small cap would have a better move among all index ETFs after the incoming dip and correctionby Tom_the_Moon0
20-9-2021 Shake OutI dont think it will go a lot higher than the current ATH but I surely dont think it will break this support. Sellers got shaken out plenty of times now. Longby Issey1
$IWM - Bear countNot much changed here since the last bear count I posted. On this count we will break the uptrend and go down towards approx 200 before we find out wave IV bottom. Note: For all you bulls out there this is the reason why I talked about the importance of hedge. If uptrend breaks we could see 205 or lower quicklyShortby btwice531901
$IWM - Small cap time to shineSuper bull count here, and honestly this one IMO is what will occur. For this count our wave IV bottom was already set back in July. Since then we have already put in a primary 1 and primary 2, and now we have put in an intermediate wave 1 and are looking for our wave 2 bottom. Now it is possible that wave 2 bottom already is in as we have had a ~61% retracement, BUT the rest of the market is in dump mode so this one likely goes lower as well. Ok, so what am I seeing? I think we have already put in 3 waves down and bottomed for our W, I think we will get a rally this week early (as the indexes relief rally takes place) and IWM should go back up to 225-227 range, and then it will flush when the SP and nasdaq do. We should be looking for IWM to find bottom around 215 for our wave Y which is wave 2 bottom, right on that uptrend line. From there we will be in a wave 3 of 3, and IWM will lead during the next leg higher. I think IWM will see 250+ by December. Best way to trade this: BTD and with options you want time incase the market is unfavorable for the next month or so. Also, would be smart to have hedge in case a bear count is actually in place and IWM wants to go down to ~200 to find the true wave IV bottom Longby btwice531902
$IWM running triangle count - still valid but not favoredThis count is still valid and if the indexes rally this week we could see it. IWM is currently sitting right above the 50 & 200 day MA as well as the last pivot AVWAP. If those hold as support then IWM will look to test the upper trendline ~230-232. If this does occur I think that IWM could get rejected at those levels and then be sent down to retest the lower trendline - putting in wave E which is wave IV bottom. From there IWM will go to ATH's on the next leg up. Although this count is still valid I do not think it is the most likely scenario given current market conditions. Look for a couple more IWM postings (they likely will be posted as private but accessible from my twitter feed)by btwice531900

Rolling (IRA): IWM October 1st 194 to October 29th 202... for a 1.71 credit. Comments: With the 194 only having .29 left in it, rolling it out to the 16 delta strike the contract nearest 45 days rather than adding units. Total credits collected of 3.47 (See Post Below) + 1.71 = 5.18 versus a current short value for the 202 of around 1.97, so I've realized gains of 5.18 - 1.97 or 3.21 ($321) so far.Longby NaughtyPines111
Russel2000Looking at the correcting S&P500 and the Nasdaq, it is difficult to imagine that small caps will grow, but as I have said many times, such a scenario is quite possible. If Russel2000 breaks this local Flag up, then the target is to grow to 233, and the fulfillment of this goal will give an exit from the large Flag / Triangle, and then it will start to go up ...by nur16i5
$IWM - Bull wave theory countThis count is still very possible, despite all of the index "top is in" bears out there. For this bull count we are going down for a wave B, before rallying to the upper trendline for our wave C of D, the D is of a ABCDE correction for our wave 4. IWM likely goes back up to kiss 232 area before the market actually sees a short term top and IWM gets the flush back to the 210 range. Right now our green B wave needs to catch support at the wave C pivot AVWAP (we broke the wave (B) AVWAP Friday)Longby btwice531900
Rolling (IRA): IWM Sept 30th 201 Short Put to Oct 22nd 205... for a 1.49 credit. Comments: Rollin', rollin', rollin' ... . With the 201 at >50% max, rolling out to the 16 delta October 22nd 205, as opposed to adding units. I've collected a total of 3.39 (See Post Below) + 1.49 here = 4.88 relative to the current price of the 205 of 2.23, so I've realized gains of 4.88 - 2.23 = 2.65 ($265) so far.by NaughtyPines2
