The new long position of the IWM robot was opened at 78.39 and incurs a drawdown of 0.5% at Friday’s close. It would take another drop of – 1.73% intraday on Monday for our stop loss of 76.65 to be triggered. The stop loss is below the strong confluence of potential support from the 200-day moving average (76.83) and the new WS1 (76.74). On Friday, the 200 dma was the only support left before the stop, so we start the week with stronger nearby support.
As a first support cluster however, it is of the same strength of 12 as the first resistance cluster. But the bulk of the resistance is in the higher half of the resistance cluster, which should help a bounce scenario if large players’ programs are willing to cooperate. Notice also the weak second resistance cluster (strength of 4). The buy entry limit of 77.45 on Monday is offering another opportunity to participate in this very strong buy statistical configuration.
SPY and QQQ’s clusters strengths are expected to help in the bounce scenario with much more bullish setups than for IWM. Expect IWM to somewhat underperform until QS1 (79.32) is decisively crossed to the upside.
Quarter’s and Month’s ends are approaching fast and if large players want to save their quarterly window-dressing, they are likely to target at least the Quarterly pivot of 81.80 which coincides with the most important support area from the beginning of the quarter in April. This would be the same equilibrium level as the first quarter and would leave the doors open to all scenarios for the rest of the year. If the market ever falls hard from here, the robot will simply take its loss in disciplined respect of its optimal trading plan and will therefore show no regrets whatsoever.
On the IWM chart below, I am showing the last 3-day most probable long and short targets. The average of both short and long targets is 78.63. A daily close above 78.63 on Monday would hint at a confirmation of the potential trend reversal.
