IWM trade ideas
IWM INVENTED HEAD N SHOULDER TARGET .786 /alt 618 We have now pulled back in what should be an abc drop The question is as we stop at the 50 % mark I tend to see another advance to the .618 and most likely .786 . I see the bond market decline as ready to turn UP rather big . This should help rally ALL Boats . We also had a nice 5 waves down under the bearish alt wave count . This should be good for the .618 .But one wave at a time . Wavetimer
Trend Line in Play - Imminent Advance in Small Caps?Small Caps look the least extended in this equity rally and I really like the tight ranges before it advances to it's next box. My analysis puts IWM imminent on its next advance upwards. Put this trade idea under: "The trend is your friend until it bends".

Market Update - 5/25/2025• Clear leading sectors are batteries, nuclear and alternative energy, material and metal names especially gold
• Breadth is declining, XLU, XLP outperforming, stocks lower, IWM rejected from the 100dma.
• These are all clear signals to me that we are in a bad environment. Last week I was 109% invested, but now down to only 10%, and only risking 0.3% on my trades. I'm fully in defensive mode. I'm only focusing on the best of the best setups in the above mentioned leading industries. I'm expecting weakness ahead
IWM: Post Market at 206.65 must be a bargaining match. Aftermarket traders joins the party. Any business idea's welcome!
IWM: Manipulation Accumulation and Trend Let’s see how the market reacts. We may open with a gap down or a gap up—next week will reveal the direction or at least offer a hint of what’s to come.
Russel 2000 Weekly PotentailVolatility, expressed through standard deviation, quantifies market elasticity and presents a level of probability and precision that humbles us all.
This week with AMEX:IWM you can see that last week trending bi-weekly markets were more volatile than our monthly trending values. This could indicate regression to quarterly means, but for now shows a 15.02% premium advantage over current IV per move.
Bi-weekly, is as of now, only 10.81% off it's quarterly trend. However, it's important to observe that volatility can still consolidate under monthly in a poetic dance to coil up the monthly more on it's path in regression.
This is why in my charts you will notice a 'coiling' value under both HV10 and HV21 values.
BOOST the post, drop a follow and comment, BUT don't forget to circle back at the end of the week to revisit and observe how our trending markets preformed!
IWM: Could Be a Gap Fill Day Today🔍 Posted by WaverVanir International LLC
Looking at IWM on the 15-minute chart, price action remains ambiguous — we’re caught in a range where traditional technical indicators are providing limited directional clarity.
However, our proprietary Decision Support System (DSS) is signaling a potential move based on LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model outputs. While human sentiment and chart structure may hesitate, machine learning is beginning to lean bullish.
🔹 Key Notes:
No clear breakout yet from this consolidation zone.
Volume remains subdued, signaling indecision.
LSTM forecasting engine from our DSS suite is tilting slightly bullish over the next 1–2 hours.
Awaiting confirmation from VWAP and liquidity sweeps before a higher conviction entry.
⚠️ Short-term traders: stay nimble. Machine guidance suggests preparing for a breakout, but price confirmation is critical.
🧠 “When human emotion falters, data continues.”

IWM: Let's see we get this position :D I won't celebrate early, but I will be cautious, and watchout for the trap. The sell is set at 10:30. I Have $100 backup might go all in today.
I am betting big on this. Let's see what we get. My Ai is not working right now so working. I don't know how to explain but I see the double top structure forming there. Maybe we see a pump today?

$IWM, small caps, not YET giving the "all clear"AMEX:IWM is the lone index still not in the clear 🚩 — backtesting its 200dma today and tagging the weekly mid-BB , just like in '22. Will it matter by week's end? If not, the bull is likely back across the board 🐂
This week's #CPI (Consumer Price Index) and #PPI (Producer Price Index) prints could significantly influence market direction across major indices — AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:QQQ and AMEX:IWM — especially with rate cut expectations in flux. 🧵Here's how:
1. Hot CPI or PPI (above expectations):
AMEX:SPY : Likely to pull back as sticky inflation pressures broader S&P names, especially rate-sensitive sectors like real estate and utilities.
NASDAQ:QQQ : Could see sharper downside—tech stocks (many of which are high duration assets) are highly sensitive to interest rate expectations.
AMEX:IWM : Likely the hardest hit. Small caps suffer from tighter financial conditions and depend more on domestic borrowing costs.
🟥 Result: Bearish across the board, with small caps underperforming.
2. Cool CPI or PPI (below expectations):
AMEX:SPY : Broad lift, particularly in consumer discretionary and financials.
NASDAQ:QQQ : Strong rally—mega cap tech loves the prospect of lower yields.
AMEX:IWM : Outperforms if cooling inflation suggests easing ahead, since it's more leveraged to rate cycles and domestic growth.
🟩 Result: Bullish, with small caps possibly leading a relief rally.
3. In-line CPI/PPI :
Markets may stay choppy or consolidate, with AMEX:SPY and NASDAQ:QQQ more stable.
AMEX:IWM remains at risk of drifting lower unless there’s a strong dovish narrative from the Fed or other macro catalysts.
With small caps already lagging, this week’s inflation data could either validate its bearish divergence or spark a rotation rally if inflation

IWM: ShortRussell 2000 ETF | 15-Min Chart | May 8, 2025
🚨 0.5–0.618 Fib Retracement Completed
Price has tapped into a key Fibonacci confluence zone (0.5–0.618), overlapping with previous CHoCH and unmitigated supply. This zone has historically triggered distribution phases on lower timeframes.
🔻 Technical Setup:
Price rejected from 198.4–198.7 zone
CHoCH and EQH levels form a liquidity trap above
Targeting demand near 193.78 (Fib extension 1.382 + historical support)
📊 Macro Context:
US Q1 GDP: -0.3% (contraction)
Core Inflation: Still sticky at 2.6%
Jobs Market: Strong, 177K added in April
Fed Today: Likely no cut, but any hawkish Powell tone could trigger a sharp risk-off move, benefiting this short bias.
🎯 Trade Idea:
Bias: Bearish
Entry: 198.35–198.70 (current level)
TP1: 197.43
TP2: 193.78
Invalidation: Break & hold above 199.50
⚠️ Wait for Powell @ 2:30 PM ET before scaling in. Volatility will spike.

IWM: 1Hr UpdateIWM is showing signs of short-term exhaustion after rejecting near $198. A break of the rising trendline suggests a pullback is in play. The $187.99 level is key support – a bounce here could trigger the next leg up toward $200.68.
🧠 Trade Idea: Monitor price action near $188 for long entries targeting $200. Stop below $186.
⚠️ Bearish confirmation only if we lose $187 decisively.
🔍 Probability Setup:
🔸 Bullish Bounce → 65%
🔸 Direct Breakout → 15%
🔸 Breakdown → 20%

IWM: Trade PlanTechnical Analysis:
Rising Wedge formation clearly visible on the 15-min chart, typically a bearish reversal pattern.
Major horizontal resistance at $200.78 — a strong previous breakdown level, now acting as a supply zone.
Plan: Short near $200.78 with stop-loss slightly above the upper wedge boundary (~$202-203).
Target Zones:
First target: ~$190
Second target: ~$185 if momentum increases.
Momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) are beginning to show early signs of bearish divergence — momentum fading while price grinds higher.
Fundamental Context (April 28, 2025):
Macro Risk:
Small-caps (Russell 2000) under pressure as investors anticipate a potential slowdown in U.S. GDP growth Q2 2025.
Treasury yields remain elevated → Higher financing costs disproportionately hurt smaller companies (Russell 2000 heavily debt-sensitive).
Earnings Season:
Mixed earnings for small and mid-cap companies; many struggling to beat analyst expectations.
Federal Reserve Outlook:
Futures pricing only a ~12% probability of a rate cut at the May FOMC meeting (CME FedWatch Tool, 2025).
"Higher for longer" interest rate environment is a headwind for IWM.
Market Sentiment:
Risk appetite cooling as VIX (volatility index) starts ticking up from multi-month lows.
Summary:
IWM faces a confluence of technical resistance, a bearish chart pattern, and growing fundamental pressure. Watching closely for rejection at $200.78 to initiate a short position with a measured risk/reward setup.

Bullish Reversal: 10% probability

Market Update - 4/27/2025Solid follow through, breadth has improved, a lot of breakouts this week, but I would be curious how we'll behave as we get closer to the 50dma on the indexes.
Until my market timing model shows a buy signal, I'm not gonna get aggressive, I'm still 50% invested and looking to take profits into strength, rather than entering new positions.
I'm still relatively flat for the last 2 months in my equity curve.
One thing I really need to improve is my risk management, especially around EPs. I need to reduce outsized losses (1% of my account) of which I had even 2 this month so far. And in general I am not that good with EPs, I need to study them closer.
