$IWM – Bull Flag Breaking Out?Hooray for small caps! It is looking to me like AMEX:IWM (Russell 2000 small cap ETF) is ready to participate in the newest market rally. This is great news as it shows the market is broadening with more participation. I do not have a position yet, but I am looking to start one if this keeps showing strength. I may even use the 3x levered AMEX:TNA as a booster. (Cannot hold levered ETFs too long as they are geared for day trades). Ideas, not investing / trading advice. You can see I have outlined the Bull Flag as well as important moving averages. On the lower part of the chart, you can see the Volume has picked up, the MACD is rising and the indicator at the bottom shows market new highs new lows (new highs are green days). I hope this helps someone. Thanks for looking. Constructive comments always welcome. Longby jaxdog1
An upcoming broader rally?The overall market thus far has been propped up by just 5 stocks 1) Apple 2) Nvidia 3) Microsoft 4) Meta 5) Tesla It is no secret the market breadth is not that great. However, IF (IFFFFFFFFF), this is a healthy uptrend that is supported by the economy, we should see the rally becoming broader. I.E. Funds should flow into mid-caps and small-caps. There should be a reallocation of funds from overbought big caps to the broader market. Russell 2000 is a good start and should be monitored closely for such actions. We may see a rally to 200 or even beyond. Longby NimbusCapital2
Russell 2000 Order Flow: Bullish Pattern ActivatedHey traders, In today’s analysis, it’s hard to ignore IWM following the 🚀explosive🚀 8%+ move up. Let’s unpack the action as of late via the OFA script : To do so, I am NOT going to apply any subjective type of analysis such as crawing trendlines, counting waves based on what way the wind blows, or any other form of guessing… Instead, we let the formation of fractal structures (an objective measure of moves) create the pathway from which we can all make decisions. Fortunately, there is no need to engage in laborious manual work. Why? The OFA script has all of us covered. So, with that in mind, what can we observe in the IWM market? What recurring pattern do you notice? Clue - Pay attention to the visual CIRCLE feature in the last leg. These patterns entail, “dynamic fractal-based order flow cycles where a decreasing involvement in one direction (depicted by cycle/wave/line counts) is followed by a predictable move in the opposite direction with greater commitment seeking out the next equilibrium area, in most instances, with potential profits as a by-product thereafter…” If you are into disseminating order flow, nothing I’ve seen beats the objectivity in analysis one can carry out via the formation of structures derived off fractal structures. So, how are you going to profit from the latest pattern printed? I know how I will... Remember the two key main features of the OFA script: Magnitude: A major clue that will help determine the health of a trend is the type of progress by the dominant side in control of the trend. We need to ask the following question: Are the new legs in the active buy-sell side campaign as identified by the script increasing or decreasing in magnitude? Velocity: When it comes to the distance the price moves, the magnitude is only ½ the equation. The other ½ has to do with the velocity of the move or the speed. Was the new leg created after a fast and impulsive move? Or did price make a new low or high with the movement being sluggish, compressive and taking too long to form? A good rule of thumb is to count the number of candles it took to achieve a new leg. DISCLAIMER: This post contains commentary published solely for educational and informational purposes.

IWM - Perking up?Small caps have moved up to resistance. With Friday's move and todays move my guess is that the next move will be a consolidation of the almost 7% move in the last week. Volume has picked up but I wouldn't be surprised if there is just as much selling as buying into this lift. Economic factors do not have me pounding my fist to buy the most vulnerable companies out there. Typically small caps lead in a new bull market and not at the end of a cyclical bull inside a secular bear. My guess is to fade this move. I think markets want people to believe that the rally is broadening out and will pull the rug out on everything soon. Call me skeptical but I'm not in IWM until resistance is broken and there is a successful retest of the breakout. by BobbySpaUpdated 333
IWM is going much much higher based on latest accumulation countThis idea is based on Wyckoff's accumulation schematic. The current accumulation count yields a much higher IWM target. All info is on the chart. Good luck. Longby NQunlocked0

IWMBroke from under its 200sma today for the first time since March. Currently outside Daily bbands sowe may see a pullback and we retest of 179-178.. Only bearish if we close back below 177. Next resistance is 183 or weekly 200sma, if it breaks over that then IWM is headed back to 192. Either wait for the 178 backrest or wait for a close above 183 to go long. by ContraryTrader223
