Rolling (IRA): IWM March 18th 181 Short Put to April 22nd 165... for a .69 credit. Comments: This isn't quite at 50% max, but only has 11 days to go, is in profit, and is the highest strike I've got hanging out there in IWM. I've collected a total of 3.83 (See Post Below) + the .69 here for a total of 4.52 relative to a current price for the April 22nd 165 of 1.80, so have realized gains of 2.72 ($272) in this puppy so far.Longby NaughtyPines1

Indexes Weekly Review 2/28/2022Last week ended with a lack of conviction from all the indexes. SPY, QQQ, and IWM failed to close above their resistance line or the low set on the week of Jan 24. Looking at the intra week action, we see that none of the indexes could last a day over their resistance line. IWM found resistance at the 2% filter off the channel and 40 day EMA. SPY found resistance at the 20 and 200 days EMA. QQQ found resistance at the 20 days EMA. Looking at the week ahead, we will get greater clarity if the downtrend will continue, preferably by recording a close below the low of the week of Jan 24th. There also could be a sign of a downtrend reversal by all three indexes closing multiple days above their resistance EMAs and resistance line. by Ronald_Ryninger0

what a strange strange game we playI have no words for this. But i think its pretty safe to say whats coming next.. Look at the same spot on a 3 or 5 min chart. and i bet you too will start getting excited. 3/11 190p for me. Good luck. Shortby Taterchip091
Clear as day distribution Familiar with Wyckoff? if so sure you see the chart playing as it should. clearly in phase D.. almost phase E. IF not, do some reach, pull up a distribution diagram. This is text book. Also something to note, Elliot 5 wave theory puts us in the same spot. Not to be forgotten. there is a gap a 165. Give it 3 or 4 weeks and this will back to pre covid levels. I see 188 by Wednesday. Good luck. Shortby Taterchip092
IWMThe chart pattern today looks similar to how it looked in December. Today would put us around December 27th where price consolidated for about a week after then moved up to test the 50 sma before a sharp drop. Just an observation.by Essendy223

IWM - Looks like small caps might be in for a bit more hurtThe daily chart from the Covid crash to the peak of the Covid recovery paints a picture of the Russell 2000 that is eerily similar to a textbook sketch of Wyckoff's distribution theory. For the bulk of 2021 IWM respected a very clear support line that has been crashed through in 2022. Recent price action shows that old support being tested as a new resistance and buyers attempting to push prices through that level were flatly rejected. Furthermore, volume began spiking on drops in price below the 200 day moving average and any movement above it recently was met with anemic volume. This is not the excitement that we've been accustomed to in the small caps of 2020. The game has changed. With 1/3 of the Russell (at least) being non-revenue producing speculative companies that were exponentially over-valued during the 2020 bull run, it's hard to imagine that the grounding of the Russell isn't real and that it isn't coming. In today's market, giants like TSLA, AAPL, and MSFT are being dragged down to fundamental value. The small caps aren't immune, unfortunately. What's even worse is that a correction to AAPL's charts isn't as ghastly as some small caps that are trading at tens or hundreds of millions above their quarterly earnings. The Russell is an important index to watch if one is interested in small cap boomers. It serves as not only a tradable ETF but as a thermometer for the sentiment toward speculation. Right now, it appears that bullish sentiment and risk taking is waning and bearish sentiment is growing. This could lead to a gut wrenching performance for small caps going forward into 2022 and larger drops in former penny stocks that retail investors drove to epic heights in 2020 and early 2021. Many of these companies are still heavily overvalued after 50%+ drops in share prices. I'd expect volatility in the coming months as tax returns are pumped into these old favorites with the rallying cries of "buy the dip" and "moon next PR" on the breath of most novice investors and traders, especially those who are holding bags likely exponentially higher than current share prices. Once that surge of small money ends I would think that an abysmal summer is approaching for many of these strongholds. Most of the companies have made lofty promises and many of them have targeted this summer for validation of their business models and strategies. But in the face of generationally high inflation, wars, rate hikes, and supply chain disruptions along with a pandemic that is cyclically impacting humanity, will it matter? If Mr. Russell is any indication of what is to come, that answer is likely no. Spiking prices will likely be met with hard sell-offs and shorts that start to feel the squeeze will get a layer of protection from the trapped bulls just looking to get their money back out of the markets. It's not the best of news, but it shouldn't be considering that we aren't in the best of economic situations currently. Of course this is the markets and the markets have a mind of their own. It's wise not to get too caught up in bias and predictions to the point where you are unable to react appropriately and according to your plans. Good luck out there and God bless!! by TradingTacticsPro4
need to break local trend, bullish rally if it happens 👀if IWM can cross the local trend resistance then we can target 207.08-209.80 local resistance area, a break above that and we can hit 215-229-243 If we fail to break local resistance a dip back to 190 is possible, like and follow for more! 💘Longby Vibranium_Capital2214

$IWM — Potential H&S forming on the 1hr We can either go lower to fill that open gap right off the bat... or We're going to go a bit higher to form the second shoulder, creating the H&S with a downside target of $193... Either way, that gap is filling — not sure if it will today, but likely for next week and for certain before March's 3rd Friday. The StochasticSlow is looking overbought, and the CCI is hinging lower just under that momentum line — bad sign for the bulls, if you ask me. Shortby OptionsAddictsUpdated 1110

IWM; Bounced from MEGAPHONE top… & is that a DIAMOND?IWM, IYT may be the market leaders in case the indices reverse back to uptrend with QQQ & XLK the laggards. It recently fell out of the year-long consolidation box 208 to 234 with a lot of whipsaw along the median line 220. It fell & stop exactly at the top of the green Megaphone. (There are 2) Although there is still a risk of falling to the impt FIBONACCI zones. (See the 2 red boxes below), I think very soon it will reversed back into the 208-234 BOX… specially if what it formed recently was indeed a diamond reversaL Not trading advice. Longby xtremerider80

Rolling: IWM March 18th 199 Short Straddle to April 1st 201... for a 2.34 credit.

Wyckoff Distribution + InflationThe IWM has completed It's classic Wyckoff Distribution and we are now at Phase E. The target is 170-169 where we have found support. This is a warning for the entire Stock Market to abandon ship while you still can. The IVM is the Titanic and has hit the ICEBERG. We don't have enough boats to save everyone. People will be left on the ship stuck at all time highs holding the bags. "The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists." Ernest Hemingway This post is not Financial Advise.Shortby nerdrx2
IWM is going down and taking the SPY with it!From what I see is utilizing the fib retracement from the 2020 low to the top of you can see great support and resistance . Ironically looks like it's going to flirt with the 0.618 fib retracement level. IWM is on it's way down and I see it filling the gaps that I circled. Along the way the SPY is mimicking the movement of IWM , so I see more downside for SPY as well. I'm waiting to deploy my money around the 155 zone for IWM . I will watch for a bottoming for SPY around that time as well. If you're able to utilize puts this could be a good idea. I'm in the TSP so that is not an option for me currently. I'm in the G fund awaiting the best time to enter. Good luck all!Shortby Fibonacci-6181
