I’ve covered the Russell 2000 (IWM) quite a bit on the chartology blog. I think it’s important as it gives you a general feel for current beta strength, but also a glimpse into macro picture.
On beta front, the market is strong, as the index has powered higher (and through resistance) over the past 3 to 4 weeks. However, on the macro front, the IWM is still 4 to 5 percent off its 2011 highs, so lagging the general market a bit. If/when IWM gets to overhead resistance (84ish), expect a battle.
