The Retail Sector ETF (XRT) is flashing warning signs as the consumer continues to struggle under the pressure of rising costs and slowing momentum.
Meanwhile, The Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) is holding key support levels and suggesting small caps may still have fight left in them.
We break down the critical chart levels in XRT and IWM, including moving averages, support zones, and 6-month calendar ranges that could determine the market’s next major move.
The message? Markets can be bullish and bearish at the same time.
