Calls Russel 2000Price is landing on an important support zone, weekly support. I'm buying calls as shown. I think the double bottom pattern still active, and this is just a test of the broken resistance at 200.
IWM trade ideas
Timing the market. IWMWhat we know? Oil is likely bullish in 2nd Half (24'). BTC leads the small caps. TNX usually works as a head wind (and has took a pause). Rate cuts are very bullish for small caps and financials benefit in this environment?
technically; the 20dma works as a driver. 50dma and 200dma just gives you context. You can add MACD to confirm things.
Im speculating that small caps breaks out in mid April.
U can fact check using IWM/SPX.
Small Caps take the lead. 50% gains ahead for $IWMCredit to Mr. Tom Lee for this one. Small caps are at a multi-decade low in value relative to the S&P. The Fed beginning to cut will be the catalyst for a huge move in the Russell over the next 12-18 months
IWM 5of 5 of 5 to .618 213.2 /212.9 Panic is nearing The chart posted is the IWM since the late oct 2023 low at that time my work and models calle for a 5 wave rally in wave C up since that low we have had more and more talking of an UPSIDE MELTUP and that the place to be loading up long is the IWM with some many talking a gain of 50% and to see 300 .

We are fast approaching the 5th of 5 in what is a diagonal and into the target of .618 .I personal thing we are going well below 131 and are already in recession what has been happening in the MACRO side is the monetizing of the treasury debt to fund it thru T bill markets and to add Liquidity >I am moving to a 100 % full short in IWM in in the money puts if we have any new high this week
$IWM - Breaking out!AMEX:IWM is breaking out. It is heading towards $230!
Stocks in the Russell 2000, like NASDAQ:RKLB and NASDAQ:SOFI , have yet to see IWM gains. But soon, they will get their time in the spotlight.
Opening (IRA): IWM June 21st 180 Short Put... for a 1.82 credit.
Comments: Targeting the shortest duration <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. There is no July contract yet, but June is still paying at <16 delta ... .

IWM Russell2000 11% UP ?Russell 2000 index - exit from channel towards long, above average 150, depends on the drop in interest rates in the US, potential increase 11% & more.

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.

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.

📈 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. 💪📈

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.
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.
IWM for MarchIWM is currently attempting to breach a notable resistance level. If successful, it may seek support in the lower part of its range or channel before making a subsequent move to break through the resistance.
$IWM Cup and Handle Just Formed!As we steam forward in this bull market, I think AMEX:IWM is getting ready for a big move. If we open Monday at ATH its blue sky breakout time. #IWM
Defining Target for Risk Reward: Maybe you shouldn't?The trade plan is broken up into parts. We have an objective and consistent entry, stop, and exit plan. Here I will be talking about the exit plan and setting targets that will give you a particular risk/reward ratio. There are no absolutes when it comes to what risk/reward you should be aiming for, a lot has to do with how you handle risk and loss and your overall understanding of markets.
Defining the stop (risk) is relatively easy compared to defining the target (reward). Mostly you need a clean set of statistics on an objective method. This will give you an average distance that the swing will run in relation to your method. The reward part of the equation is a function of how far your stop is to your entry.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to trading. For many, it may be best not to set a target, but instead use something simple and objective like a moving average to exit the trade. This way, you get what the market gives you while incorporating consistency and objectivity into your exit plan. Keep it simple, objective, and consistent, and learn as you go. In the video, I make something up on the spot that may give you some ideas. I use a 20ema as a profit stop only after price has made a new high. It's simple, principle-based, and it's objective.
No matter what your method, knowing where you are in the swing cycle will help in defining entry, stop, and target, and this will directly influence the risk/reward ratio.
