$IWM #smallcaps #RTY

You #memeStonks #stonks people, Be cautious of chop. The markets are at an inflection point this week.

*NO ONE* knows what direction they will go. Not even Portnoy.

Here is one chart I am watching.
This is the Russell 2000 Ishares ETF. Basically all the small caps that trade in the US (at least the ones included in the index).

That line on this chart shows you how at the beginning of the year, we broke above the YTD AVWAP for the index.
Come again?
YTD = Year to Date
AVWAP = Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price.

But then, last week we started testing it. And on Friday we closed below it. That meant that *on average* everyone who bought the index this year was under water.

NO BUENO!
Today, we are rallying, but now we are coming right back into that AVWAP. If $IWM closes above that VWAP, that is a bullish sign. A close below is bearish. Both = chop.

HTH!
$IWM putting a handle on its cup *above* the YTD AVWAP. Very Bullish!

$GME thread that hopefully brings light and not heat. Lots of FUD (in both directions) out there. I try and be aware of it, but I think it is more important to understand what's really happening. @alphatrends AVWAPS don't lie. I have been trading this since October.

Let's begin
We gapped up from $20 to mid $30's Jan 13th at the Open. I thought it was the beginning of the squeeze I had been waiting for since SI was at 102% iirc. That first VWAP is set to that Gap Up BO. Look at how well price AND VOLUME respected the gap. Image
For an entire week, that held. That's when I thought, "Hmm. Usually on a SS squeeze its a quick violent rise and then you get some type of collapse." That didn't happen. Also SI didn't decline. Then I looked at @CheddarFlow dark pool prints
