IWM - Ascending Triangle Pattern

IWM has been flip-flopping within an Ascending Triangle Pattern for the past 1 year+. It is no wonder that many of the smaller stocks are exhibiting wild flip-flops in the past months.

On a more optimistic note, an ascending triangle pattern has greater odds of breaking to the upside eventually. For IWM, this means a breakup above 198-199 could happen eventually (not guaranteed but good odds).

Until this happens, we might continue to see a very mixed/weak market especially for the smaller-cap stocks. Meanwhile stock picking skills with good money management is tantamont to traverse this market

If and when a breakup happens in IWM, it is likely the market bulls will be back in force.
Meanwhile, can only wait and see what happens.
