REITerating bearishness

While I think the markets can rise higher (hopefully to a classic retest of the H&S/topping pattern breakdowns), here is a sub-index that is looking ripe, by weekly chart at least. 

This chart was done for a reader looking to short the REITS about a year ago.  I just found it in the chart list and thought the current situation looked pretty good.

A year ago the resistance did not hold, shorts cursed Bernanke and his funny munny policy and went into hiding.  Now?

I believe IYR is filled with REITS, is it not?  The daily chart of $DJR looks a lot like the IYR.  Does one dare take a position in the 'Widow Maker' (Tim Knight's term for SRS)?
