iShares Russell 2000 ETF Forecast

iShares Russell 2000 ETF upgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Buy Candidate after Thursday trading session.
(Updated on May 02, 2024)

IWM Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.75%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The ETF should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the ETF giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $201.32. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $197.81. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.

Trading Expectations (IWM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 3rd we expect iShares Russell 2000 to open at $198.89, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $196.43 and $203.57, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.57 (+/-1.79%) up or down from last closing price. If iShares Russell 2000 takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.57% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $199.34 (0.33%) than the resistance at $200.90 (0.45%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
