IWM is forming a three-wave pullback against the 212.33 low. The price has already reached the Blue Box (buying zone). We have entered long trades at the equal legs level of 224.52. We expect at least a three-wave bounce from the Blue Box area. Once the price reaches the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the red B connector, we will make the position risk-free by moving the stop loss to breakeven and booking partial profits.

The ETF found buyers as expected, rallying toward new highs. Consequently, any long positions from the Blue Box should now be risk-free. We’ve set our stop loss at breakeven and have already secured partial profits. As long as the price holds the pivot at the 223.64 low, we can expect at least another leg up as indicated on the chart.

Short term: While above the 230.84 low (wave 4 red), IWM is ideally targeting the 239.41–242.03 area next.
