“Can $100 Oil Break This Market? Futures Slip | PreMarket Playbook | September 9, 2026”
Speaker is bearish on IWM based on daily chart analysis indicating potential negative market events, leading to re-entry into put positions.

Let's also check the IWM here real quick and see how that's doing today. So, IWM, this is interesting. IWM forming a double bottom here around 2926065. Be very interesting to see if IWM can reverse this as well.

IWM pulled and I see a lot of the smaller names pulling too. That had me wondering if it was something rate uh wise.

IWM is currently the most bullish index due to higher highs/lows and an upside break of structure; calls are favored.

But it seems that it's the IWM that looks the most bullish right now. Let's take a look at this. So indeed IWM bullish trend edge higher highs and higher lows and a break of structure.

Indeed right in here. Break of structure to the upside. So at the moment right now index gate says risk on IWM looks like calls are a go here.
