IWM to bounce $240 targetMy trading plan is very simple. I buy or sell at top & bottom of parallel channels. I confirm when price hits Fibonacci levels. So... Here's why I'm picking this symbol to do the thing. Price at bottom channels (period 52 39 & 26) Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) at oversold level VBSM is negative Price at or near 0.618 retrace Fibonacci level In at $232ish Target is $240 or channel top Stop loss is $228, but will reenter at $225ish.

The Russell 2000 has just bottomed! Here's WhyAMEX:IWM CAPITALCOM:RTY AMEX:TNA 🤏🧢 Here I am, standing before you again, putting my name on the line and going against the GRAIN and telling you I believe we just bottomed on the AMEX:IWM The Russell 2000 is front-running this pullback and we are about to see a bounce next week and BIG push into year end! Here's WHY 👇 Before we take a look under the hood of the car lets talk about the weekly chart. Everything is still good: H5 Indicator is GREEN, Williams Consolidation Box is thriving, and we are on the volume shelf. Now lets take a look under the hood at the daily chart. 👇 Daily Chart Analysis: -Most important we are at the bottom of our Wr% Range and at the Green support bounce zone. As you can see every time we've been here over the last three months we've bounced for an average of 9%. -We broke down through our first level at $238 and are right at what I believe to be the final boss before we have our move higher. Why? Simple $234.66 is the previous ATH dated back to the end of 2021. So, I'm coming at you for the 100th time so it's engrained in your brain: A break of prior RESISTANCE needs a retest in order to FLIP it into SUPPORT. This is what I believe we are doing at this time at the second level of right under $235ish. -You may be asking yourself well how come we don't go down to the $228 level. Great question, it could happen but I don't believe it's a strong probability for the reasons laid out above and the fact that we've already flipped that area from resistance to support. Also, we would be caught up in a Anchored volume profile GAP that measures down to $220 and I don't believe we are at that level of a crash instead of a pullback...yet! -Speaking of Anchored Volume Profile Shelves we are currently holding on to this one even at the Level 2 support area. -As I always say we could Lit grab/ flash crash down to the weekly 9ema that sits right around $232 before we fake out to the down side and push back higher towards ATH into year end. In summary, I believe the AMEX:IWM has just bottomed and we’re poised for a bounce next week with a strong push into year-end. The Russell 2000 is leading this pullback, and both weekly and daily charts show positive indicators. With our H5 Indicator green and strong support levels holding, we’re ready to break higher. 🔜🎯$259 🎯$306 Not financial advice.Longby RonnieV299939

Gamma Exposure (GEX) Analysis * Current Gamma Profile: * HVL (Highest Volume Level): $220, acting as a key pivot point. * Major Resistance: * $223: High GEX indicates strong call wall resistance; price may struggle to break this level without significant volume. * $235: Secondary resistance aligning with historical price rejection levels. * Major Support: * $218: Immediate GEX support; a breakdown below this could lead to further declines. * $215: Strong put wall and critical support, where buyers are likely to step in. * Implied Volatility (IV): * IV is trending lower, indicating that market participants expect reduced volatility ahead.

IWM | Bullish AMEX:IWM Resistance Levels: There is a significant resistance level at around 224.02. The price needs to close above this level to confirm a breakout. Another resistance level is at approximately 233.64. Support Levels: The immediate support level is the trendline, which has been acting as a resistance until now. This trendline is likely to act as a support if the breakout is confirmed. A secondary support level can be seen at around 227.13. Potential Targets: If the price closes above 224.02, it signifies a breakout from the current price channel. The first target after the breakout would be around 233.64. The second target, based on the price projection, would be approximately 244.46. Indicators: The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is currently around 63.34, which is above the neutral 50 level but not yet in the overbought territory. This suggests there is still room for upward movement. The price action shows higher highs and higher lows, indicating a bullish trend. Volume: The volume seems consistent, supporting the upward price movement. Higher volume on a breakout above 224.02 would confirm the bullish sentiment. Conclusion: If IWM closes green today above 224.02, it indicates a breakout from the current price channel, suggesting a potential further upside. The first target would be around 233.64, followed by 244.46. This position could be highly profitable for call options and futures contracts if the breakout is confirmed and sustained.Longby shksprUpdated 7
IWM CORRECTIONAs we can see, there has been a correction since the presentation of the FOMC meeting, with a break in the bullish structure we had in the indices. IWM is one of the most bearish indices, breaking bullish structures in the 4-hour timeframe and losing strength in the daily timeframe. Although there hasn’t been a change in the daily timeframe yet, we are losing momentum and should recover the daily channel. In my view, it is the weakest index.by alexpv730
(GET READY). IWM's expected move today for FOMCWow guys look at today’s chart for FOMC for IWM. We had a really solid sell off after making new all-time highs after three years back on November 25 and that 35 EMA has been front and center. We did take it all the way back down to the 50 day moving average on the 30 minute timeframe we’re on the one hour timeframe and we’re bouncing on the 50 day moving average or at least holding above it that is also the two hour timeframe Today between 227 to 235 The 35 EMA is right above us that’s definitely the first level. If we get above that we do have the down gap from this Monday and the top of that gap is at 234.37 Then the top of the implied move is at 2:35 and 236 on Thursday’s contract then we do have an interesting cross of the 30 minute two moving average that is underneath the one hour to under average so that is a bear signal underneath us if we break the 50 day we do have The bottom of the move at 2:27 and 226 on Thursday’s contract. We do have a little bit of support that is just underneath that and it’s around 228 that goes back to around November 18 where we saw a few days before we rally to make new all-time highs so that could be a little to watch out for as well. by SPYder_QQQueen_Trading0

Traders should watch the gamma walls near 234–235 for confirmation of direction. The short-term bias remains neutral to bearish unless buyers reclaim resistance zones.

$IWM Today's Trading Range for 12.5.24IWM We've been consolidating ever since making new all-time highs for the first time in three years last week. This week so far, we've been shopping around the 35 EMA but holding above that up gap from where we made all-time highs last week. So, to the upside, the first level to look for is going to be around 243; that's where we've been seeing resistance after making all-time highs. Then, 244 is the top of the implied move, and we also have those previous all-time highs in the trading range at 244.98. Underneath us, we have that 35 EMA, and then under that, we have an up gap from last week. Then, 238 is the bottom of the implied move, and 237 on Friday's contract with the 30-minute 200 moving average underneath that, with completely flat momentum.by SPYder_QQQueen_Trading1
$IWM Recap for 12.4.24IWM stayed close to the 35 EMA today. We did drop again to that open up gap that we tested the day before and we did find that as support to close in the green up .36%. So doing a little consolidation here after making those new all-time highs, we consolidated back to 35 EMA and reset the indicator. The weird thing is that 30 minute 200 moving average is just completely flat, momentum is gone.by SPYder_QQQueen_Trading1

Russell 2000 Small Caps (IWM) Breakout cup and handle on RUTRussell 2000 Small Caps TVC:RUT and AMEX:IWM on the Cusp of a Breakout? The Russell 2000 small-cap index, tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), is forming a cup and handle pattern. This technical formation could be indicative of a significant breakout. Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: $230-$232 Support: $220-$222 A decisive close above $234 confirmed the breakout, potentially leading to further upside. Conversely, a failure to hold above $220 could negate the pattern. Keep a close eye on IWM as it navigates this critical juncture. Longby Paul_Hodls1
Small Caps RunningIWM Russell 2000 is running. It had a nice pull back from December 2021 through December 2023 where the tide or sentiment has changed. It is testing new highs and has broken through into new higher highs from the S&R line at $230. There is much sentiment for it to gain higher gains and continue its bull run. Longby GlennTrading1
