IYR, SRS Real Estate ETF Chart Observations

I'm looking at the real estate ETFs IYR/SRS after $SRS (UltraShort Real Estate Proshares or the Inverse Dow Jones Real Estate Index ETF) failed to breakout in mid May. SRS has a 2x inverse relationship w/ IYR. No fundamental data here just checking out the charts.

On a short term basis $SRS is being wedged and will be forced to move one way or another soon. The long term charts are interesting. The SRS chart looks wacked out because of it's 200% inverse relationship but you can see some potential technical set ups. IYR/SRS could be setting up normal and inverted head and shoulders patterns across multiple time frames. For now IYR needs strong green volume above 30.81. It's time for the market to make a decision on real estate.

SRS Daily Four Months (Wedge)

SRS Daily Two Months (Wedge, inverted head and shoulders?)

IYR Weekly 1 Year (inverted head and shoulders?)

IYR Daily Six Months (inverted head and shoulders?)
