Is Russell 2000 Building Bullish Base?

It’s been some time since the Russell 2000 has been an out-performer.

And, although we propose a potential bullish pattern on the small cap Russell 2000, please note that it is an under-performer and won’t even be worth a “trade” unless it exceeds today’s resistance.

Today we highlight a bullish “cup” formation on the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) with the potential of morphing into an inverse head & shoulders.

However, this only happens if IWM can rally and exceed the neckline (recent highs).

$IWM – Russell 2000 ETF Chart

The chart highlights the potential for IWM… BUT only IF price can rally and exceed (and hold) $210. Worth watching, as it could turn into a nice short-term “trade” if price rallies.
