Russell 2000 Micro E-Mini Futures (M2k1!) - 4:1 Long

Long
CME_MINI_DL:M2K1!   Micro E-mini Russell 2000 Index Futures
My analysis of the Russell 2000 surprises me, since I am instinctively more bearish than the chart seems to be. Hopefully you will challenge my forecast with your tough questions, since this venue is meant to arouse the reverse-engineers and to provoke the thinkers to do what they do best, right?

As always, I strive to render these ideas of mine so obviously that their explanation will require no words.

Nevertheless, this 4:1 Long trade on the M2k1! chart is of fundamental interest, considering that the Russell 2000 Index is a leading indicator of the US economy as a whole. Note that I have not entered the trade, because I expect price to fall farther still, as indicated by the custom Trend Exhaustion Wedge.

Although my trading strategy is built on innate Pattern Recognition and a hard-won sympathy for the Market Maker’s Business Model, my tactics - including the beauty of Tradingview and how it makes me look good - are based on identifying the opportunities within VOLUME, VOLATILITY and TREND EXHAUSTION.

As I mention in most of my other ideas, trading the CD leg of harmonic patterns is especially risky, since they are NOT confirmed until after the D-point prints.

Although I prefer to rely on the charts, I cannot help but notice the many challenges being visited upon China these days, which could indicate a timely trend reversal for American industries. Of course, this is NOT a longterm forecast, nor am I instinctively bullish, per se.

In the short and medium terms, price action should remain bound by the 0.236 to 0.382 Fibonacci retracement range set by the ATH during the "Everything Peak", shown in this 4h chart by the highlighted Purple channel. There are so many unknowns beyond Q2 2024 (on account of CBDCs, among other variables), that it is too soon to assume that price action will return to the Blue accumulation zone that also marks the top of the forecasted move, even though some important pre-Covid levels have been tested.

Followers of my ideas may not be familiar with the aforementioned Wedge, which (among other things) suggests possible late entries in case price fails to hit the specified entry level from below, after confirming a C-point. The Wedge is merely one of many details in the full chart, which can't be seen in this condensed 4h version.

I am preparing a video on prospecting for opportunities during the Sector Rotation, and the RUT and the E-Mini Futures are part of it. First, though, I have a few more ideas to upload as I update other key charts for the final Quarter of 2023.

Until then, be liquid !!!](<My analysis of the Russell 2000 surprises me, since I am instinctively more bearish than the chart seems to be.
