On the five year chart, we can see a strong and very clear uptrend that started in mid-2004. The IWMs continued on this path until the end of 2007/beginning of 2008 when they fell through support.
On the one year chart, notice the clear downward trajectory of the chart.
On the three month chart, notice the following:
-- There are several upward sloping channels and trend lines, all of which the average has broken
-- Prices got beyond the 200 day SMA, but fell back quickly unable to maintain upward momentum
-- The 10 day SMA just turned lower and is about to cross below the 20 day SMA
-- Prices have fallen to the 50 day SMA which is the last possible technical support line from the SMAs
-- Prices are below three of the 4 major SMAs
On the IWM P&F chart, notice the lower highs on the chart.
The bottom line is this chart is deteriorating, but it has not completely fallen apart yet.

The 200 SMA should be the same whether you look at 5 years data or 6 months, right? Note that the IWM 5 yr chart the 200 SMA is a little above 70, then in the 1 yr. it is near 74. They should be the same.
