IWM: Bullish Pause or Stepping Stone to 50DMA?

SmartReversals

Based on the past few months' price action, a recurring pattern has emerged: $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$

Bollinger Band Cross:

When the price breaches the higher Bollinger Band, it tends to fall towards the 20-day moving average (20DMA), sometimes it has acted as a bouncer.

20DMA Breach:

Losing support at the 20DMA leads to a further decline towards the 50DMA as indicated in chart.

The price closed very near the 20DMA today, with the Stochastic indicator curling down, suggesting a potential loss of momentum. The 50DMA, however, is still far from the current level.

A positive factor is the presence of a solid volume base (A). While this wide base will likely cushion any pullback, it's important to note that the Point of Control (POC), a key support level mentioned over the weekend, sits at $195 and the base starts at $190.

Price has to stay above 20DMA.
