On April 12, 2017, the Russell 2000 ETF (
IWM
) 20 day moving average (DMA) crossed below its 100 DMA and the ETF also crossed below its 100 DMA. Both crosses have not occurred on the same day in the history of the fund. Historically the 20 DMA has crossed below the 100 DMA 26 times and the stock drops a minimum of 0.217%. It has a median loss of 3.957% and maximum loss of 32.818% over the next 15 trading days. Historically the fund has crossed below the 100 DMA 91 times and does not always continue to drop. It has a median loss of 3.993% and a maximum loss of 34.336% over the next 15 trading days.
When we take a look at other technical indicators, the relative strength index (RSI) is at 45.2759. RSI tends to determine trends, overbought and oversold levels as well as likelihood of price swings. I personally use anything above 75 as overbought and anything under 25 as oversold. The current reading declares the fund is neutral but has been trending down.
The true strength index (TSI) is currently -5.2391. The TSI determines overbought/oversold levels and/or current trend. I solely use this as an indicator of trend as overbought and oversold levels vary. The TSI is double smoothed in its calculation and is a great indicator of upward and downward movement. The current reading declares the fund is moving down.
The positive vortex indicator (VI) is at 1.0416 while the negative is at 0.9511. When the positive level is higher than 1 and higher than the negative indicator, the overall price action is moving upward. When the negative level is higher than 1 and higher than the positive indicator, the overall price action is moving downward. The current reading declares the fund is in a period of uncertainty. Although the positive is higher, both indicators have crossed four times in the past month.
The stochastic oscillator K value is 49.6357 and D value is 50.9736. This is a cyclical oscillator that is highly accurate and can be used to identify overbought/oversold levels as well as pending reversals and short-term activity. I personally use anything above 80 as overbought and below 20 as oversold. When the K value is higher than the D value, the price action is trending up. When the D value is higher that the K value the price action is trending down. The current reading declares the fund is neutral and can go either direction.
Considering the moving average crossover, RSI, TSI, VI and stochastic levels, the overall direction appears to continue heading down. A strong resistance down trend has been taking shape since market highs on March 1. Based on historical movement compared to current levels and the current position, the fund could drop another 1.55% over the next 15 trading days.
