The selling in the small-cap sector of the stock market may be about to pause or at least halt. After a nasty move lower the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (ARCA: IWM) has reached a level that has been resistance in the past. Sometimes, levels that had been resistance can convert into support.

The stock market is rebounding but there may not be any follow-through. At least, that’s what the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE: XLF) says. This ETF tracks the important financial sector.
