SPY, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF climbed +1.6% last week, while the VIX closed at 14.49, indicating an implied one day move range of +/-0.91% & an implied one month move range of +/-4.19%.
SPY ETF’ – SPDR S&P 500 ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
Their RSI is trending higher, currently at 62.27, while their MACD is slightly bullish but relatively flat.
Volumes were -4.2% lower than the prior year’s average (69,778,000 vs. 72,833,452), as investors began coming back from holiday vacations & getting back to work after two shortened holiday weeks.
Monday the first full trading week of 2026 led off with a gap up open & climbed higher, supported by the 10 day moving average to advance +0.67% on the third highest volume of the week as market participants hopped back into the pool cautiously.
The sessions upper shadow showed that there was bullish sentiment up until the $689.43/share level, but then bears stepped in & took some early year profits off of the table.
Tuesday dealt us another gap up open on SPY, which led to it continuing higher to close up +0.59% on the day, but volume was slightly lower than the week’s first session.
Wednesday saw a gap up open that tested higher before losing footing & sliding down to decline -0.32%, as some early year profits were taken from the table on the second highest volume session of the week, which indicates some uneasiness creeping into the market ahead of inflation data & earnings this week.
It should be noted that the support of the 10 day moving average held strong though, so the short-term trend remained in tact, but the days candle formed a shooting star with a shorter upper shadow, indicating bearish sentiment creeping in more.
Thursday threw an interesting curve ball, where a gap down open retraced higher, while also temporarily breaking lower through the 10 day moving average’s support showing it is losing strength, only to close as a doji just above/in-line with the 10 DMA on the week’s lowest volume.
This signaled that there was a bit more unease setting in than the prior day suggested.
Friday opened on a gap up, tested lower but did not make it all the way down to the 10 day moving average, before powering higher to set a new all-time high & retreated slightly off of it into the close on the strongest volume of the week.
While Friday’s candle is not a proper spinning top as the body is too long, it is still not a candle I’d hang my hat upon and rest easy & indicates that while the mood was bullish heading into the weekend, uncertainty still remains.
Heading into the new week there’s a lot to unpack here, including backdated PPI data, current CPI & PPI Data, backdated retail sales data & earnings season kicking off with the big banks & some other names.
For a strong push higher at an all-time high SPY will need to see some good news & solid projections for future growth, and to see a sustainable push to continue setting new all-time highs we’ll need to be mindful of advancing volume levels, as without consistent higher levels there is not strong conviction behind any moves higher.
The consolidation case revolves around SPY oscillating around the 10 day moving average awaiting an upside/downside catalyst.
One thing to be mindful of during this is that following the slower pace of upwards movement the 50 day moving average is still creeping higher, only -1.41% below the 10 day moving average currently & beginning to flatten out, which typically comes just before a downside move.
To the downside case, the 10 day moving average is the current gatekeeper to all other support levels.
Should it break down there is strong Buyer sentiment below it, but recall that this is only because SPY is near a price extreme, making the levels relatively untested around it.
The 50 Day Moving Average is the next stop to watch (despite two other support levels in-between), as A) it resides in a Seller dominated zone over the past ~3 years in terms of volume sentiment, making it more prone to breakdown & B) in the event it holds up & SPY can consolidate, a bearish head & shoulders pattern may emerge with 12/11/25 or 12/26/25 as the left shoulder.
The table below can aid in assessing the strength/weakness of support/resistance levels.
SPY has support at the $688.29 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 3.4:0*), $687.67 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 3.4:0*), $682.94 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 6.23:1) & $678.57/share (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 1.28:1) price levels, with resistance at the $695.31/share (All-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.
SPY ETFs Price Level:Volume Sentiment Over The Past ~3 Years At One Year Support/Resistance Levels
QQQ, the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF gained +2.21% last week, as the tech heavy index was second least favored of the four major index ETFs in what may be a rebalancing move to start the year or an advanced warning that tech names have pain on the horizon.
QQQ ETF – Invesco QQQ Trust ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
Their RSI is trending higher at 58.20, while the MACD is slightly bullish, but like SPY, also fairly flat & running parallel to the signal line.
Volumes were -5.92% lower than the prior year’s average (45,996,000 vs. 48,889,246), which makes the former of the two proposed situations above look more likely, that there is a rebalance going on more broadly that tech names will miss out on.
QQQ’s week opened on an interesting note, as they like SPY had the third highest volume of the week on Monday, but formed a harami pattern candle with Friday’s session that closed lower than it opened following a wide-range declining session that sat straddling the 10 day moving average’s support.
While the advancing of +0.79% day-over-day would be considered bullish on the sentiment side around the harami, the lower close than opening price paints a different picture which will be something interesting to watch in the coming week.
Tuesday opened higher & continued to climb, but on the weakest volume of the week, indicating that there seems to be some underlying issue for QQQ & the tech-focused names.
Wednesday confirmed this, when QQQ opened slightly lower, but managed to trudge higher, only to be stopped in its tracks at $627.94/share when the bears took over & forced the session to close as close to (but not) a shooting star candle, which carries bearish implications.
This is furthered by the fact that as has been noted in prior articles, QQQ has been unable to make a break at its all-time high & been rejected by multiple resistance levels trying to make it back to it, while the other major index ETFs have managed to stay closer to or at theirs.
Thursday opened on a gap lower by $0.01, broke through the support of the 10 day moving average, made a move down towards testing the 50 day moving average’s support, but ultimately regained footing to close in-line with the 10 day moving average, down -0.57% on the day, on the week’s highest volume.
This indicates that there was a bit of profit taking & a bit of trimming risk, but may also point to more troubling matters on the horizon.
Friday the week rounded up with a higher open, temporary decline below the support of the 10 day moving average, but a rally that spurred QQQ higher on the second highest volume of the week to close +1% on the day.
The upside case here clearly revolves around breaking out & above the two support levels that seperates QQQ from their all-time high & breaking free of the descending pattern we’ve been watching since late October’s all-time high.
The consolidation case gets murky, revolving around QQQ oscillating around their 10 & 50 day moving averages awaiting an upside or downside catalyst.
The trouble here is that the 50 day moving average has begun to roll over bearishly, and at an aggressive angle, signaling that the price & 10 DMA are likely to follow in the coming week, barring we get some good news of sorts.
As noted in the notes of prior months, QQQ will be the ringleader of any major declines, which makes this something to pay close attention to.
To the downside, the 50 DMA remains in focus, as should it break down things get hairy.
In that event, the $612.39/share support levels becomes the gatekeeper to a Seller dominated zone, one which happens to be the home of two support levels, and as the top table below shows the following two support levels are also in historic Seller zones, which should they break down sees the $579.89/share level being where to watch to assess further damage on the horizon.
QQQ has support at the $624.06 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.23:1), $620.42 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.23:1), $616.19 (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.22:1) & $612.39/share (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.04:1) price levels, with resistance at the $627.94 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 2.75:1), $628.40 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 2.75:1) & $636.19/share (All-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.

IWM ETF – iShares Russell 2000 ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
Their RSI is approaching the oversold 70 Mark & is currently at 66.09, while their MACD is bullish.
Volumes were +4.07% higher than the prior year’s average (36,988,000 vs. 35,541,825), which helped the small-cap index close the week out with a new all-time high.
Monday the week began on a gap up that managed to break out and close above the resistance levels of the 10 day moving average.
Tuesday this theme continued, when IWM opened lower, tested lower but the support of the 10 day moving average held firm & propelled IWM higher on the week’s strongest volume.
Wednesday saw a gap up open, which wquickly led to profit taking, although on the lowest volume of the week & the small cap indexes inched down temporarily below the $255/share level, but recovered to close above it, but down -0.23% on the day.
Thursday saw a gap down open below the $255/share level, but the troops were rallied & IWM shot up +1.09% on the day, setting a new all-time high.
Friday things got hairy again for the small cap index though, where IWM opened on a gap up, tested both higher & lower, and closed the day as somewhere between a doji & a spinning top, while setting a new all-time high.
Further upside moves from here seem unlikely, but not impossible, but there are now two new gaps to fill based on last week’s bookends & the uncertainty attached to Friday’s candle.
While it’s not bearish, it was also not an entirely bullish way to end the week either.
Consolidation case looks like a filling in of the gap window caused by Friday’s session, before oscillating around the 10 DMA which is on its way up towards the current price as we await upside/downside catalysts.
The downside case rests upon a window filled from last week’s bookends day gaps, with a strong focus on the $245.55-247.64/share zone, which is home to many support levels including the 50 day moving average.
Note that due to price extremes much of the support levels below skew towards Buyers, and rather than assessing strength/weakness based upon Buyers/Sellers, assessing the strength of ratios & understanding that they will dilute/may shift during declines is a better way of approaching the data.
IWM has support at the $257.34 (Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*), $252.71 (Volume Sentiment: NULL,0:0*), $251.92 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 4.67:1) & $247.64/share (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.32:1) price levels, with resistance at the $261.56/share (Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.

DIA ETF – SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
Their RSI is trending higher, currently at 65.27, while their MACD is bullish.
Volumes were +45.32% higher than the prior year’s average (6,314,000 vs. 4,344,960), as investors were ready to dive into the blue chip index names to kick the year off strong.
Monday the short-term trend was broken through on a gap up & DIA kept running higher, closing just below the $490/share level, but temporarily breaking above it & on the week’s strongest volume.
Tuesday opened slightly lower, but slingshot higher to close +0.99% on the day, just below the $495/share level.
Wednesday the foot came off the gas after a gap up open & slight test higher, when the bears came in & took their profits, sending DIA sliding -0.94% on the week’s lowest volume.
Thursday opened on a gap lower, just in-line with the 10 day moving average before finding footing & running higher to close +0.52% on the day.
Friday the week wound down on a gap up open that lacked the strength behind the move to set a new all-time high, but closed +0.51% on the day.
There may be an emerging flag pattern from the past week that carries into this week, as any upside move with require something of significance to force it (and also the supporting advancing volume).
The volume point also brings up another thing to watch here, as DIA did see an uptick in volume, mostly advancing, but any lagging advancing volume this week, or significant tablecloth sweeping outflow of declining volume should be viewed with a discerning eye.
The consolidation case looks to see DIA tucked within the past week’s range, while oscillating around the 10 day moving average once it catches up, awaiting the upside/downside catalyst.
Downside case here has eyes set on the 50 day moving average’s support; due to the buy & hold nature of these names & where it sits relative to other support levels & the fact that it’s still climbing means it’s a good place to watch as a target before making any moves, but any volatility won’t likely test it this week (maybe next).
DIA has support at the $488.13 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*), $482.73 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 0.8:0*), $478.74 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 0.8:0*) & $477.14/share (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 0.8:0*) price levels, with resistance at the $496.25/share (All-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.

*** I DO NOT OWN SHARES OR OPTIONS CONTRACT POSITIONS IN SPY, QQQ, IWM OR DIA AT THE TIME OF PUBLISHING THIS ARTICLE ***
Since our last check-in on Volume Sentiment Analysis in October markets have continued to slowly grind higher, with most of the gains for SPY & QQQ coming as a result of gaps up in late October, while IWM & DIA have continued higher in a more consistent fashion.
While this comes as no surprise as the two pairs have moved relatively in tandem for some time, something interesting to observe is that the NASDAQ is the only one that seems to of recent have a difficult time finding the power to break out & make a run at their all-time high, while the other three indexes are at/near per Friday’s close.
More concerning is that it has been unable to break out above the two resistance levels that seperate it from its all-time high, despite the strength of the technology names powering markets higher over the past couple of years.
Whether this is indicative of a rotation from tech names into other sectors or not for the long-term is yet to be determined, but is certainly something to be keeping an eye on.
Friday, the VIX closed at 14.49, indicating an implied one day move range of +/-0.91% & an implied one month move range of +/-4.19% for the S&P 500.
As a reminder, SPY’s beta is 1, QQQ’s beta is 1.14, IWM’s is 1.34 & DIA’s is 0.99 for perspective on how that VIX reading will impact other major indexes.
Aside from the lowered back-to-back shortened weeks, DIA has been the only index ETF of the above that has seen strong volume in the first week back of trading vs. the prior year’s average levels & even that was subpar.
For perspective, last week in the first full trading week after two shortened holiday weeks SPY traded on volume that was -7.57% than the prior year’s average (66,880,000 vs. 72,361,230), QQQ was -15.62% lower than the prior year’s average (41,100,000 vs. 48,710,996), IWM traded on -13.89% less volume than the prior year’s average (30,455,000 vs. 35,366,494) & DIA was only -2.47% lower than the prior year’s average (4,177,500 vs. 4,283,347).
This signals that there is some skepticism creeping into all but the blue chip names (despite IWM having the strongest week of the four majors mentioned).
Earnings season is upon us this coming week, and we are still getting delayed data from the government shutdown released as well, which when coupled with some of the international headlines we’re seeing may provide some interesting volatility near these all-time high levels that lack volume sentiment to support price levels & signal there is uncertainty brewing.
With that said, it is a great time to check in on the historic volume sentiments for each of the four major index ETFs mentioned above in order to assess the historic strength/weakness of support/resistance levels & shed insight into what may be coming next.
Each section below contains a view of each index ETF’s chart (for a technical breakdown of each’s chart, see last week’s market review note, this week’s will be published tomorrow), as well as a list of their current one year support & resistance levels with the volume sentiment noted beneath it on the table.
There is an additional table beneath this table with each price level’s sentiment, as well as a typed text version below that is able to be copied & pasted.
Note that “NULL, 0:0*” values denote areas that each name has traded at (or gapped through, in some instances) but with limited volume data to work with from a comparison standpoint in terms of creating a ratio of buyers:sellers (or vice versa) or is the outlier above the highest/lowest level with price data.
Also, prices that do have a ratio of Buyers:Sellers (Sellers:Buyers) where the denominator is 0 are denoted with an asterisk “*”.
In the written lists of the price levels & volume sentiments the price levels that contain support & resistance levels are marked in BOLD.
Recall that at price extremes such as the highs that we have recently hit there will tend to be skewed data due to the small sample size & factor that into how you interpret each price level’s reported sentiment.
This is intended to serve as an additional tool, similar to a barometer to use during your due diligence process & is not meant to replace doing your own research & is not financial advice.
Price Level:Volume Sentiment Analysis For SPY, The SPDR S&P 500 ETF
SPY ETF’ – SPDR S&P 500 ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
SPY, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF set a new all-time high on Friday, although recent volumes have pointed to weakening senitment among market participants & a more wait-and-see approach heading into the new year.
Headng into the upcoming earnings season their Bollinger Bands appear primed to expand by mid-week, but given SPY is near such price extremes & geo-political uncertainty, as well as internal U.S. disruptions it is unclear whether it will be for the better or for the worse in terms of where price goes from there.
Throw in a slew of Fed speakers, CPI for the current month, as well as a delayed CPI report from the government shutdown, PPI data & potential earnings surprises & the uncertainty grows even more.
With that in mind, it is a good time to check in with how SPY’s volume sentiment has been at historic price levels to gain insight into how future performance may go, particularly at support & resistance levels.
Before reading the chart below, note that at price extreme such as where we stand today with SPY things will skew towards the bullish (Buyers) or bearish (Sellers) side where price resides, making the current situation Buyer heavy in local support levels.
The table below outlines SPY’s volume sentiment from the past ~3 years by price level at their one year support/resistance levels, with a more comprehensive list of all levels beneath it.
Below that is a copy & pasteable list of the data.
This is a barometer to aid in research & due diligence and is not financial advice.

Price Level:Volume Sentiment Analysis For QQQ, The Invesco QQQ Trust ETF
QQQ ETF – Invesco QQQ Trust ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
QQQ, the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF has not performed as well as SPY in recent weeks/months, as it has been unable to break out above the two resistance levels that seperate it from its all-timehigh, signaling a shift away from its tech heavy components & possible rotation play at foot.
They also look poised for more incoming volatility like SPY, which adds wonder to what comes next, as if there’s a risk-off or rotation away from tech-names support strength will become increasingly more important.
Reference the tables below to accompany your research & aid in assessing your views on the strength/weakness of support/resistance levels.
Also, note that while most of their local support levels are Buyer oriented, that many levels’ ratios will be diluted/switch to Seller zones in re-tests/declines & to assess the strength of levels in relation to the strength of their ratios due to price extremes.

Price Level:Volume Sentiment Analysis For IWM, The iShares Russell 2000 ETF
IWM ETF – iShares Russell 2000 ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
IWM, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF just set a new all-time high after their last one came one month ago, as small cap names have continued to climb in the new year.
Their Bollinger Bands also look primed to expand soon, indicating heightened volatility on the horizon which will prove interesting in the coming weeks based on the catalysts mentioned in the first section, particularly seeing how they move-in relation to DIA, the blue chip index.
While their primary support levels are all currently NULL or Buyer dominated due to price extremes, watch for dilution of wider ratios in the coming weeks & assess strength/weakness according to them.

SPY, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF fell -1.03% last week, while the VIX closed at 14.51, indicating an implied one day move range of +/-0.91% & an implied one month move range of +/-4.19%. (Please note that all charts are per Friday 1/2/26 when the note was begun, as travel & illness prevented timely publishing)
SPY ETF – SPDR S&P 500 ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
Their RSI is just above the neutral 50 level & sits currently at 52.85, while their MACD is bearish.
Volumes were -7.57% lower than the prior year’s average (66,880,000 vs. 72,361,230), which when accounting for the fact that it was a shortened holiday week signals that there was quite a bit more negative sentiment than the week prior.
Monday the week began with a note of uncertainty & limited participation, when a low-to-average volume session resulted in a decline & a doji candle on the day, and a wait & see approach to the final week of the year set in.
Tuesday too continued this trend, with even less volume and a smaller range on the doji candle.
Wednesday year end profits were taken when a lower open caused a collapse throughout the day, leading SPY to close -0.74% down on the day heading into 2026 on the second highest volume of the week, while simultaneously breaking down & closing below the support of the 10 day moving average.
Thursday was New Year’s Day so markets were not open, causing back-to-back four session weeks.
Friday the first trading session of the year opened on a gap up, tested higher, but profits taking set in early & the support of the 10 DMA faltered again, causing the session to close below its open.
Heading into a new week, there will be a lot of focus on employment data, as well as final PMI data & the U.S. Trade Deficit, and there’s not much in terms of major market moving earnings reports.
With that said, the upside case revolves around breaking above the 10 DMA with strong volumes & hoping that market participants continue to pile in to force a run at SPY’s all-time high.
The consolidation case looks a lot like the end of the week did, with SPY oscillating around the 10 DMA until an upside or downside catalyst forces it to move in one direction or another.
Should this happen keep an eye on the 10 DMA which is climbing higher towards SPY’s price.
To the downside, SPY closed the week just above a historic Seller zone from the past ~3 years ($675-679.99).
While they are currently in a strong Buyer zone, they are also near a market extreme & have not seen much downside testing at these price levels, making that ratio prime to be diluted, which would also signal a breakdown of the support of the 50 day moving average.
If this happens, the $671.96/share level will be imperative, as if it too breaks down then SPY’s next two support levels reside in Seller zones historically, which may lead to a broader selloff that possibly sees that $648.93/share level break down.
SPY has support at the $682.94 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 6.23:1), $677.10 (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 1.28:1), $671.96 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.4:1) & $659.26/share (Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 1.55:1) price levels, with resistance at the $684.85 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 6.23:1), $687.67 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 3.4:0*) & $691.66/share (Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.
SPY ETF’s Price Level:Volume Sentiment Over The Past ~3 Years
QQQ, the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF declined -1.73% last week, as the tech-heavy index was the least favored of the major four indexes.
QQ ETF – Invesco QQQ Trust ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
Their RSI is trending down below the 50 Mark & currently is at 47.23, while their MACD is bearish.
Volumes were -15.62% below the prior year’s average (41,100,000 vs. 48,710,996), which shows that folks weren’t overly eager to sell, but given each day’s session resulted in declines it does not paint a rosy picture.
QQQ’s week looked very similar to SPY’s, leading off Monday with a low volume gap down session that closed as a doji, indicating a lack of enthusiasm & more of a wait & see approach heading into the holiday shortened week.
Tuesday looked the same, with a lower volume gap down open that amounted to market participants taking a wait & see approach heading into 2026.
Wednesday the year’s final session produced further declines on higher volume, signaling that there was signs of fear creeping into the market for the tech-heavy index.
Friday 2026 began with a decline of -0.19% for QQQ following the breakdown of their 10 day moving average’s support on Wednesday, heading into the weekend & closing below it for a second straight day.
Heading into this week there will be a focus to the upside on the $624.06-625.52/share zone, the latter of which is the most recent resistance level that occurs in a series of three consecutive inabilities for QQQ to break higher.
Should those two levels break down, $628.40/share is the next highest important resistance level, gatekeeping for the all-time high of $636.19/share which occurred in late October of 2025.
In order to break above the ATH there will need to be increased advancing volume that is sustainable in order to prove that there is solid belief behind the strength of the tech-heavy index.
The consolidation case looks similar to what we’ve been seeing now for the past couple of months, with QQQ oscillating around the 10 & 50 day moving averages awaiting an upside or downside catalyst.
This looks likely given how for months now it has been occurring & there are lower highs being made, while lows have been somewhat all over the place.
To the downside, watch the $612.39/share level, as should that break down there are two more Buyer dominated zones historically speaking below it, but no support levels in them, which makes it all the more likely that we see tests of the next three support levels (outlined below).
Should these break down the big test that all eyes will need to be on is the $579.99/share range, as should that break down we may see further downside action.
QQQ has support at the $612.39 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.04:1), $599.51 (Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 1.45:1), $597.90 (Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 1.45:1) & $589.37/share (Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 1.31:1) price levels, with resistance at the $615.74 (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.22:1), $618.15 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.22:1), $624.06 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.23:1) & $625.52/share (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 2.75:1) price levels.
QQQ ETF’s Price Level:Volume Sentiment Over The Past ~1 Year
IWM ETF – iShares Russell 2000 ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
Their RSI just crossed above the neutral 50-mark & is currently at 50.72, while their MACD is bearish.
Volumes were -13.89% lower than the prior year’s average (30,455,000 vs. 35,366,494), indicating that there was a bit of selling with caution & somewhat a wait-and-see approach to the year end/new year.
Monday IWM opened lower & declined into weak volume -0.61%, forming a gravestone doji, signaling that there would be more weakness into the end of 2025.
Tuesday that trend continued, temporarily opening higher, but sinking lower on the lowest volume session of the week, where for the second straight day the resistance of the 10 day moving average walked IWM lower.
Wednesday featured more of the same on the last trading day of 2025, but with more volume as folks were either quick to take profits for the year off of the table & or were beginning to become more skittish.
Friday the new year kicked off with a bang for IWM, as they opened higher, tested lower, but for a second consecutive session the strength of support of the 50 day moving average held up & pushed IWM higher to close +1.06% for the day.
Heading into the new week, the upside case for IWM revolves around whether or not the medium-term trendline (50 DMA)’s support can outmatch the resistance of the short-term trendline (10 DMA).
If it can, watch the $251.92/share level for clues as to whether a bearish head & shoulders pattern has emerged, or if there may be a run at their all-time high.
The consolidation case features more oscillations between/around the 10 & 50 DMA’s, awaiting an upside or downside catalyst to start a fresh trend.
The downside case shows lots of support levels below that have strong historic Buyer:Seller sentiment, but any breakdown in SPY, QQQ or DIA may trigger outflows from IWM, but there are numerous support levels to fall back onto for the small cap index.
IWM has support at the $247.64 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.32:1), $245.55 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.32:1), $245.46 (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.32:1) & $239.96/share (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.57:1) price levels, with resistance at the $250.21 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 4.67:1), $251.92 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 4.67:1) & $257.34/share (All-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.
IWM ETF’s Price Level:Volume Sentiment Over The Past ~2 Years
DIA ETF – SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF’s Technical Performance Over The Past Year
Their RSI is at 56.53 trending higher, while their MACD is bearish.
Volumes were -2.47% lower than the previous year’s average (4,177,500 vs. 4,283,347), mostly on account of Friday’s advancing session.
Monday the week began with DIA opening lower, testing a bit to the upside & a bit to the downside, but closing down -0.5% on low volume.
Tuesday opened just higher, before proceeding to sink lower to test the support of the 10 day moving average which held up.
Wednesday saw DIA open slightly higher, only to retreat throughout the session & close below the 10 day moving average on a third straight day of declines with lackluster volume, indicating a sense of complacency among investors in the blue chip index.
Friday made for an interesting start to the new year for DIA, as they opened higher, retraced to Wednesday’s low & then kept declining, before powering higher on high volume to close +0.64% for the first day of the year.
Part of that high volume is explained by the wide range of pricing that DIA traded at for the day, but DIA managed to close just above the support of the 10 DMA.
That support is going to be what the base upside case is built upon, as if it holds up & manages to pump DIA higher their only resistance level is their all-time high, which will have a support levels chasing the price at, increasing the odds of a new ATH occuring.
This will also require more advancing volume to be treated as sustainable price gains.
The consolidation case involves DIA oscillating around the 10 day moving average, awaiting an upside or downside catalyst.
To the downside, there is a lot of Buyer sentiment in the price zones below DIA’s closing price for Friday, which is to be expected given its the blue chip index just below its all-time high.
The primary downside target here will be the 50 DMA & to see how strong it provides support against a decline.
The reason being is that should it break down & DIA decline through it, the $468.61/share level is then the gatekeeper to a Seller zone ($464-467.99/share), and aside from $463.27/share, there are no other support levels offering historic Buyer sentiment protecting from further declines when DIA crosses into three consecutive Seller oriented zones ($448-459.99/share).
The table below offers more insight into historic volume sentiment around DIA.
DIA has support at the $483.47 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 0.8:0*), $482.73 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 0.8:0*), $478.74 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 0.8:0*) & $474.90/share (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.19:1) price levels, with resistance at the $488.60/share (ALl-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.
