The Russell MicroCap iShares (IWC) is leading the market higher on Friday and breaking above a triangle trend line. The P&F chart shows the ETF surging in October and then consolidating in November. The red A marks the beginning of October and the red B marks the beginning of November. With a big move today, the current X-Column broke above the prior X-Column to trigger a double top breakout and exceeded the triangle trend line, which I drew by hand using MS Paint.
