IWM

claytondpark

I predict that the bulls are gonna buy in futures mkts going into tuesday opening to hold this long term trend line/price channel for now going by Fridays bounce and close, just don't think it's ready to give this up yet. I think mkts will be volatile and trade in a wide range, until it gets a bit more clarity from more macro data and fed monetary news. Just look at how long IWM has traded range bound...

OP sold me my IWM puts

Poopnpunch

SPY going to grind sideways this year like IWM last year... find solid support for the year and keep buying there.

meta-cognizant

That's because IWM became like 4% AMC last June and that shit has rightfully cratered.

Call__It__Karma

IWM is sideways with no adjustments. Everyone piled into the same overpriced stocks all year.

Spiritual_Extreme_81

Spy is the new IWM

**$4k to $1M Challenge, Week 30 Update!** Another red week for the market, and another red week for the port. I haven't had a single winning breakout yet in the new year. But it's not so bad; despite getting stopped out 14 times the account has only lost about 4% value. A couple big winners can easily pick up those losses. This is the strength of strict risk management. So long as the market doesn't tank again next week, I've got confidence in my current holdings. XPEV has been showing tons of relative strength and been consolidating for months, it could really make a significant move soon. And I believe I got NVDA at a good price near a support point. Still stalking NUE and MP for a potential entry. If the market does sell off next week, we could enter serious correction territory, and I would consider again entering short positions. IWM will be key to watch below $211 where it has found strong support all year. I shared some more in depth thoughts on the market yesterday for anyone who missed it: [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbetsOGs/comments/s39qwk/what\_are\_your\_moves\_tomorrow\_january\_14\_2022/hskdqqh/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbetsOGs/comments/s39qwk/what_are_your_moves_tomorrow_january_14_2022/hskdqqh/?context=3) **Total $ Return: $3,897.

It's weird man, IWM hits 210 and it always bounces, always

the_GuelahPapyrus

Should have bought IWM 210 calls instead of selling IWM 210 puts on the dip today but it's over now. The market can no longer hurt me

StuGats

When the US10Y and IWM are ripping together, you know something ain't right. Rolled my profits from earlier in the day into 1/18 IWM 208P. You short that shit 10 times out of 10. Expecting another gap down open Tuesday.

YYqs0C6oFH

Oh, my mistake let's look at mid and small cap indexes over the past month to quarter instead: IJH iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF = +1.99% past month / +1.57% past quarter MDY SPDR S&P MIDCAP 400 ETF = +1.64% past month / +1.57% past quarter IWM iShares Russell 2000 ETF = -0.08% past month / -5.25% past quarter IJR iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF = +2.72% past month / +0.39% past quarter vs GME = -17% past month / -33% past quarter So based on that we're saying that GME's recent weakness is in line with the rest of mid and small cap performance?

CitizenMJane

Pathetic attempt to rebound. Next week will be mad red. IWM to 195-200

CyborgAlgoInvestor

IWM at 210 is when you should buy UVXY calls

the_GuelahPapyrus

IWM at 210 is no brainer

SeaofSounds

On that volume IWM.......lol

zg44

Small caps are showing considerable weakness across the board again; IWM now near 209 the level that it's held for almost a full year. I'd be worried if IWM breaks below 209; there's not really any support below and could easily see another 10-15% drop on small caps.

Sapere_aude75

is IWM breaking down from it's range?

Secgrad

Ive done it around 3 times now but ussually around 212-213 on the way back up. I never worried about it until now, not touching it until the rest of the market turns. I think we'll see 454 and maybe the mid 440s on the SPY over the next two weeks and possibly a wick below 200 on IWM

Fineous4

IWM will probably bounce at 209.

OptionsTrader14

I want to know who out there has been very aggressively buying IWM every single time it dips below 211. Literally for the entire year, every time this thing dips below 211 there is massive buying and its forced back up again. If that buying support ever fails, IWM could tank very hard.

CyborgAlgoInvestor

IWM about to go below 210, nice knowing y’all. Tread lightly

chikenbeer

Lol IWM fighting the year-long support.

jkbpttrsn

It's official. If you bought IWM same time last year you'd be in the red!! 🤣🤣🤣

CyborgAlgoInvestor

Next play I have btw: If IWM drops below 210, buy UVXY calls immediately. You can thank me later

ChairPowellman

No one really thought we were going to run higher after that 280 point run over 115 minutes on the back of horrible data? Big green candles to give regards a false sense of strength. IWM and DIA say we still trending down

CyborgAlgoInvestor

If IWM drops below 210, buy UVXY calls immediately. You’ll thank me later

StuGats

IWM being the ball and chain. Methinks bulls are losing steam.

Roxorek

IWM is on a brink of collapse

CyborgAlgoInvestor

IWM dumping like crazy

CyborgAlgoInvestor

If IWM goes below 210, this market is absolutely finished

Private_Void

Well, as they say bear make money, bulls make money and pig get slaughtered. First time I blew my account I kept switching sides every time a move wasn't going my way. I kept looking, refreshing, clicking, trading, etc. After a whole year off, I've been back for a few weeks, and changed my strategy. Never put more than 5% of my account in any one play, I give my plays time to materialize (especially in high volatily), and I set a sell order at 100% profit when I buy so I don't chase 10baggers. It's been working pretty well so far. All that to say I'm short QQQ and IWM, I think we dump EOD and gap down Tuesday. QQQ 1/21 360P IWM 1/21 200P

BaalBoys

IWM monthlies or nah?

89320420934

Just bought some calls on IWM for next week. Maybe I'm regarded but this shit has been bouncing in the same range for like a year.

chedrich446

The time has come. IWM fd calls.

Fit-Ad8824

I'm newer to trading. Been getting into spy this week. Can you explain to me the correlation between IWM, UVXY and SPY please? Looking at the candles I believe spy reversed and is now in a downward trend. I have a 2/11 470c and yesterday I bought a 1/14 168p that im currently riding down...

maliciousmonkee

Looks hella bearish tbh. first goes IWM, then QQQ, then SPY

CyborgAlgoInvestor

IWM almost below 210, when that happens, load tf up on UVXY calls and SPY puts

get_MEAN_yall

IWM really isn't down that much

SocialSuicideSquad

IWM

Cpwest11

IWM maybe?

ask_redditt

Will IWM finally break that 209-211 support without bouncing? that's been the real easy mode this year. Jizz on ape face while gamestore creams down below $100.

owter12

IWM getting fucked

CyborgAlgoInvestor

I’m loading the fuck up on UVXY calls if IWM goes below 210, and I recommend you do the same

leavemeanon2

Same for IWM and XRT and every other ticker involved in the January 2021 craze, but if I theorize further I’ll get bullied

schwisch

Rather than your account size, was the reason you were willing to roll for over a year because you were trading IWM? Or would you have continued to roll regardless of the underlying? And, if that's the case, does that mean that you just never take assignment?

CHERCK_FLOKI

IWM to the earth's core.😂

sc0tt_1990

the gangbang on the IWM will continue.

esInvests

Absolutely worth it. It was during 2008, I was adjusting my IWM position. I could’ve taken assignment but my account was smaller at the time so I didn’t want to tie up that much of the portfolio.

eternalrefuge86

Calls when IWM hits $210 have literally been free money for like a year now

RobertDrewke

My investment service advised shorting SPY and IWM but I got in way later, after it already moved. Missed a thousand on that one. Then RTY bounced, set up another short, didn't take that either. Made some, but not much.

alipaliwoo

Already basically in correction for QQQ and IWM

Aerotyne69

Imagine banks missing earnings and giving bad guidance while simultaneously having the HeDgIeS sHoRt LaDdEr AtTaCk the SPY, QQQ, DIA and the IWM. Circuit Breaker. Aliens will show up in Washington D.C. at market open after the first circuit breaker, causing chaos and wreaking havoc. Pure panic will ensue. Circuit Breaker. One hour into market open Cramer will go on CNBC and crazily yell BuY tHe DiP while flaring his arms around like the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tubemen. Circuit Breaker. Stock exchange closes by 12 Noon eastern. America is fuk!

RobertDrewke

IWM is the index and RTY is the futures, yeah?

jkbpttrsn

If IWM is down over 1% tomorrow it'll be red the last year.

ma____

I strongly believe that IWM should trade at $5 dollar.

sc0tt_1990

IWM gonna sell off 3% tmr at this rate.

2_here_knows_when

I have 10 $IWM 214 puts. Managed to hold thru all of today but I forgot about the final boss, theta. Up 900$ on these and options calculator is scaring me:( lol

ItsAKimuraTrap

IWM 215 calls at the close. Playing it back and forth has been working. Unfortunately not with enough size to offset the devastation taking place within my portfolio.

StuGats

IWM is cents away from losing any and all bullish momentum.

Historical-Pattern-

IWM still holding $215 for now.

templeton-p-bag

It’s nice to see IWM outperform spy at least. That need to happen more for this market to unfuck itself

StuGats

IWM holding on by a single ass hair. If Russ busts look out below.

JpowYellen3some

IWM showing the “Tits Up” pattern on the daily 👀

Historical-Pattern-

Next week or 2. Or it's the last gasp before a nice bull run. IWM $215 is a good guide.

Rhaximus

SQ down to August 2020 levels. IWM didn't move a dollar for all of 2021 either. Shit sucks anymore.

CitizenMJane

LMAO IWM from up 1% to red. Shitstocks and smallcaps really are dead.

masayoshi-san

IWM going red on the day 😞

meta-cognizant

Yes, small caps will trade sideways until IWM rebalances

JayRoo83

Just de-list IWM, it’s clear at this point that small caps will never rise again

chikenbeer

Lol IWM hasn't moved all year.

thatguyalex2018

Why not just go to a Russel 2000 small cap etf? IWM is like 0.19% fee ...obvs your find is much more international but, no, I'd never pay anything near that in fees.

wsbbanned

That 1200$ I made today by scalping IWM 0DTE lol. I can’t even keep my vows. 🤪. I am such a degenerate gambler. 😅

Poopnpunch

Not rly the play this year... you're right on your 2nd point... but not down doesn't necessarily mean up... rates are going to have an effect and we will most likely see a slow painful chop to the right like IWM last year... theta will fuck your leaps.

CitizenMJane

While SPY is near all time high, Shitstocks that compose the IWM indexe are on life support. That's why are all bleeding.

sc0tt_1990

QQQ will trade like the IWM did last year. Will be range bound all year.

Historical-Pattern-

50,000 put volume on IWM $200 for 1/21. 90k OI before today. Geezus.

Opposite_Engine_6776

I see that IWM is still a piece of shit.

Spiritual_Extreme_81

If it isn’t obvious they don’t want the market higher I don’t know what is. Spy has been in this area since early November, there was a fake break out that was crushed. Spy is the new IWM until it isn’t

JayRoo83

IWM should just be locked in the disappointments room for us performance the last year

get_MEAN_yall

IWM fading to red below the 200 day. Our time is coming soon. 🌈🐻

StuGats

IWM suspiciously much less enthused than the others. Wouldn't be surprised to see QQQ join it shortly.

ozpcmr

god damn it QQQ is siphoning IWM's power again

the_GuelahPapyrus

IWM 218c 0dte

88crypto

Those ape stocks ruined IWM for the whole year

UpperSpinach

IWM also happens to drive a neon-orange Dodge Charger, but it's the base model and used, with a salvage title

brbcripwalking

IWM is your meth head neighbor always messaging you with a brand new get rich scheme. You always suspected they ran over your cat.

I don’t see it happening. I hope it does though; it’ll help juice up my IWM calls
