Executive View
Our view last week
IWM is in ordinary phase of compressed consolidation with bullish weekly averages but weak daily momentum and significant capital outflows. A confirmed breakout or structural zone failure would activate the operational setups. Awaiting confirmation of direction remains priority.
This week's view by AiTrading67.com
IWM remains in consolidation within the compression zone, with daily MACD showing strong bullish strength, but weekly structure and negative momentum argue for awaiting confirmation of a breakout before operating. Ordinary IQS and yellow flag support a cautious stance.

In summary
Daily momentum presents a dichotomy: MACD in strong bullish strength and mature Golden Cross suggest continued upward thrust, but ADX strengthens with −DI above +DI, RSI in negative zone, and CMF shows strong outflows. This picture signals a weakening of bullish momentum and an ongoing transition toward bearish pressure.
