Ishares Russell 2000 ETF Forecast

Buy candidate since Jun 11, 2026 Gain 2.16%

The iShares Russell 2000 ETF price gained 0.464% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 24th Jun 2026), rising from $295.32 to $296.69. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.70% from a day low at $294.69 to a day high of $299.69. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 4.1% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 2 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 28 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $8.35 billion.

The ETF lies in the upper part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $299.63 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 17.62% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $332.08 and $352.43 at the end of this 3-month period.

IWM Signals & Forecast

The iShares Russell 2000 ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $294.62 and $287.06. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, June 22, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.500%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for iShares Russell 2000 ETF

On the downside, the ETF finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $249.56 and $248.00. There is a natural risk involved when a ETF is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the ETF then may fall to the next support level. In this case, iShares Russell 2000 finds support just below today's level at $249.56. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $248.00 and $239.61.

In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this ETF. During the last day, the ETF moved $5.00 between high and low, or 1.70%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.71%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $284.82 (-4.00%) (This ETF has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (IWM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect iShares Russell 2000 to open at $297.02, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $293.78 and $299.60, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$5.82 (+/-1.98%) up or down from last closing price. If iShares Russell 2000 takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.98% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $298.18 (0.50%) than the support at $249.56 (15.89%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
