IWM Russell showing double top, support tests next?double top pattern in play after IWM and RUT failed to breakout higher with the rest of the large cap indices. patterns alone can be deceiving, but fundamental risks support this double top thesis. banks risks, higher costs from supply chain constrains and or inflationary costs in play. Higher rates may be finally hitting consumers and businesses as an extra cost in all forms of funding. 6 month to 1 year bear spreads make sense hear, so do deep in the money puts. For long positions, I would consider stops to protects down side in case it continues. Shortby optionfarmers227

IWM IWM, the ETF tracking the Russell 2000 index, is exhibiting a noteworthy alignment with the parabolic SAR indicator, indicating a potential momentum shift or trend continuation. Given this alignment, investors should maintain a keen focus on IWM's price action and behavior. Moreover, the upcoming release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data may serve as a significant catalyst, potentially influencing market sentiment and driving further movement in IWM. As such, market participants should closely monitor both technical indicators and fundamental data to anticipate and respond effectively to potential price movements in IWM. by kavehmohseni0

Get ready for valuable insights and potential trading opportunities. 🚀📈 🔄 Cycle Analysis: By analyzing the cycles, we've identified a cycle period of 48 weeks for IWM. Interestingly, we've divided each 48-week cycle into three distinct parts, allowing us to pinpoint key moments within the market's trajectory. Let's dive into the current cycle! 🔄📆 📈 Uptrend at 1/3 of the Cycle: In this new cycle, IWM finds itself right at the 1/3 mark. It successfully broke out of the key resistance level at 190.8 back in December 2023, and this level has been retested, confirming its significance. As a result, we believe IWM is currently experiencing an uptrend. 💪📈 📉✅ Key Levels and Price Range: Based on our analysis, we anticipate that over the next 32 weeks, IWM will remain within a price range of 203.54 to 228.70.

The next price zone to watch IWM broke out of a daily trading range last week, and climbed towards a weekly resistance zone. The yellow price zone that I marked in the chart represents a weekly structure that acted as support... now should become resistance. The 61.8 Fib level could also generate some selling pressure on IWM's price. by themarketzone111
Reasons to be cheerful?Both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 closed at fresh record highs on Friday. The Dow ended a tad lower, pulled back by a fall in UnitedHealth which is its major constituent by weighting. Meanwhile, the broad-based, domestically-focused mid-cap index, the Russell 2000, tacked on over 1%, but remains around 15% adrift of its own record highs from back in November 2021. That’s not the only US stock index which has failed to hit a new record this year. The Dow Jones Transportation Index is currently around 7% below its own all-time high, which, like the Russell 2000 (and also the NASDAQ 100, although that old record has been well and truly surpassed) was hit back in November 2021. Does this tell us anything? Perhaps it does. It suggests that there is still a lack of breadth in the rally which, since it began in October last year, has had plenty of time to broaden out. Yet it hasn’t, as investors still lack the confidence to look outside the favoured few. Just look at NVIDIA. It closed out at another record high on Friday, and has added 3% today alone. It is now up over 30% from the low hit just prior to its earnings announcement ten days ago. There will be plenty of traders and analysts who say, ‘Who cares about the Transports and Russell? It’s new technologies which are changing the world, not airlines, trains and small domestically-focused companies.’ We’ll see. In the meantime, the fourth quarter earnings season is drawing to a close with 97% of S&P 500 constituents having now reported. Analysis from FactSet shows that the latest S&P P/E ratios are above both their 5 and 10-year averages, suggesting some overvaluation. Bullish sentiment coupled with FOMO suggests that the path of least resistance is still up. But that sentiment can change quickly and often without warning. This week’s big events include Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony in Washington on Wednesday and Thursday, with Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday.by TylerNorcross0

Small 'n Furious. Early 2020's Signaling A Big Midcap Run AheadThe Russell 2000 trailed the S&P 500 significantly in 2023, gaining about 17% compared to a gain of about 24% for the large cap index. That underperformance has spilled over into 2024. Year-to-date, the Russell 2000 is about 2% compared to a 7% gain in the S&P 500. By the way, that valuation measures make the small cap Russell 2000 index much more compelling when compared to the S&P 500. Small caps relative to the S&P 500 on a price-to-book basis is back to where it was in 1999, which was the absolute low and was a launch point of 12 years of outperformance for small caps. As of January 31, 2024 small caps price-to-book ratio is 2.01, as it described on FTSE Russell 2000 Index Factsheet. Like a sensationally increased shares of Supermicro NASDAQ:SMCI or e.l.f. Beauty Inc NYSE:ELF , I believe many other small cap stocks can be the best ideas for 2024, in part because of that participation in the ongoing stock market rally is improving and is no longer concentrated in just ultra-mega-cap tech stocks, like it was in 2023. If so-called breadth improves in the stock market, then small cap stocks will catch a bid. There are three factors will help to boost small-cap stocks in 2024. First, fund flows into the stock market are necessary for small cap stocks to outperform. If retail funds aren't flowing into the stock market, then funds likely aren't flowing into small cap stocks. That have changed already in late 2023 as investors start to warm up the stock market. To be clear, let's take a look at lower technical graph, so-called "AUM", or AMEX:IWM assets under management chart, that is one of the most important ETFs metrics. While it's been correlated pretty well with IWM price action over the past two years, last December has changed the rule, as managed assets smartly jumped to almost historical highs. Second, small cap stocks are highly levered and tend to have a higher cost of capital, so a decline or no more hikes in interest rates should benefit small cap stocks much more than large cap stocks. To be clear, let's compare two graphs: for actual U.S. Interest Rate and Expected on Dec, 2024 Interest Rate. Finally, an expansion in economic growth could be a "huge tailwind" for small cap stocks as they are highly exposed to the domestic economy. An overlooked area of the stock market is set to soar in 2024 after significantly underperforming the S&P 500 last year. In technical terms, AMEX:IWM graph is near to break its 52- and 104-weeks highs, to deliver the price 50 percent higher after a breakthrough, like it did it before, on the hottest ever edge of 2020 and 2021. by Pandorra228
