REVIEW

It has been more than six months that the U.S. small caps are trading in a tight range. One of the well-defined chart patterns the weekly global equity markets report frequently discussed was the ISHARES CORE S&P Small-Cap ETF. IJR has a well-defined trading range between 66.9 and 70.8 levels. The ETFs price is holding above the 18 month-long upward trend line. A directional move should follow soon. The margin between the multi-month trend line and the upper boundary of the 6 month-long rectangle has narrowed. A daily close above 71.80 will confirm the breakout from the 5 month-long rectangle and suggest higher prices. A breach below the 18 month-long trend line can put pressure on the small caps and push prices towards the lower boundary of the rectangle at 66.9 levels.
