Small Cap Momentum = Winning Trade

Posted by Wendy Kirkland | Apr 22, 2026 | Wendy's Daily Profit Play | 0 |

IWM continues to show improving momentum as price pushes higher after reclaiming both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages.

The recent breakout attempt is supported by a rising ADX line, signaling trend strength is building, while +DI remains above -DI, confirming buyers are in control. Small caps appear to be gaining leadership, making IWM a strong chart to watch for continued upside.

Wishing you the best,

Wendy

Early Career For twenty-five years, Wendy Kirkland was a working partner in a gift shop located in Historic Biltmore Village in Asheville, NC. The business supported her family of three children with a good life, but, as Wendy neared retirement age, she realized she and her husband Jack had left themselves out of the financial equation. They'd set up a retirement account, but, over the years, others' needs always seemed more pressing, and retirement seemed a lifetime away. Journey to Option Trading Her search and need to take immediate control of her financial future brought her to option trading and the financial leverage it offers. Finding the potential to make a full-time income while working on a part-time basis, Wendy wrote, How To Trade Options to give others the opportunity to benefit from this income source that can be worked a few hours a week from home or anywhere else. Since that time, she has written 16 books that are available from a variety of sources. Teaching Approach Wendy’s programs take her students all the way from getting past the perceptions that Options have to be complicated all the way to daily trading examples. Readers quickly understand what a Call Option and Put Option are and all of the other fundamentals they need to succeed. She walks traders through key indicators and shows them how to use, True Strength Index, ADX or Average Directional Index, Commodity Channel Index, Fibonacci Price Targets, Exponential Moving Averages, and more. Her simple, down to earth explanations make the path to income through trading very accessible.
