IWM tends to lead or lag SPY at major turning points. Small-cap wave structures can be messier due to lower liquidity, but weekly charts provide reliable counts. Wave 3 extensions are typically shorter than SPY.
Key levels at $200, $220, $240. The Russell often diverges from large-cap indexes at cycle turns.
IWM breadth divergence with SPY is a powerful signal. When IWM confirms SPY's bullish wave count, the rally has broad participation.
