In the IWM, notice the following:

Regarding volume, an astute reader commented that this might be because only smart money is going into the market right now -- waves of people are still backing off from committing funds. This is a distinct possibility and can't be overlooked.
The QQQQs are offering the strongest case for a rally right now. But the other averages are also pointing in that direction as well.
