RUSSELL 25-year Channel Up giving a Sell Signal soon.Russell 2000 (RUT) has been trading within a 25-year Channel Up since the March 2000 High, which was the Top of the A.I. Bubble. Since then it only broke once during the 2008 Housing Crisis. Once recovered, it has used all standard macro levels of Support as short, medium and long-term buy entries respectively, with those being the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line), the 1M MA100 (green trend-line) and the 1M MA200 (orange trend-line).
The April 2025 rebound, which is the market's most recent rally, took place right on the 1M MA100. The index is however approaching the 0.236 Fibonacci level of the Channel Up, which since the 2000 High, has provided almost all rejection points, being the strongest Sell Signal (exception 2021, which was the mega-pump recovery following the March 2020 COVID flash crash).
As you can see, the market has historically started a correction on the 2nd test/ rejection on the 0.236 Fib. Out of those 3 corrections, two of them took place after the index broke above the 0.236 Fib and one just below it. All however have pulled-back to at least the 0.382 (blue) Fib. The key here however is to determine the exact High so that you can draw the 0.382 Fib retracement.
The only condition that most likely won't be fulfilled (as it happened on all previous cases), is that the 1M RSI most likely won't break above the 70.00 overbought level before the correction happens. So there's question mark there.
As for our Target, we expect at least 2230 (Fib 0.382) to get hit around mid 2026.

Russell2000
Russell breaks outThe Russell has broken out of its short-term triangle continuation pattern to the upside. If the breakout holds, we could see a run to new all-time highs above 2547 from here. Key support around 2500 has held for now.
Risk appetite remains elevated as markets head into a critical window packed with potential rate cuts, tech earnings, and diplomatic progress between the US and China. The upcoming Trump–Xi meeting has added an extra layer of enthusiasm after Trump signaled possible tariff relief. Confidence in the AI theme continues to drive the rally, with Nvidia’s historic $5 trillion valuation amplifying bullish sentiment across tech-heavy benchmarks like the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500. But now even the small caps index of 2000 US stocks - the Russell - is joining the rally.

⚡ The Thief's Edge: Why This Setup Works
Small-caps are the wild horses of the market—volatile, fast, and rewarding when you ride the trend! 🐎💨 The Russell 2000 represents domestic US growth plays, making it hyper-sensitive to:
Economic optimism cycles
Federal Reserve policy shifts
Risk appetite rotations
This setup capitalizes on momentum continuation after a healthy pullback. We're not catching falling knives—we're riding tested support into breakout territory! 🎯
🧠 Trading Psychology Corner
Remember, folks: The market doesn't care about your entry price. It only cares about supply and demand. Manage risk, scale into winners, and cut losers fast. This isn't financial advice—this is a battle-tested framework for market participants who understand probability over certainty. 🎲📉📈

Russell 2000: Is the lagging small-cap about to charge higher?Russell 2000 is the laggard, while the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow scale new record highs.
Could small caps be next to break out?
While all major US equity indices are hitting new all-time highs, the Russell 2000 is still consolidating just below resistance. This sets up a pivotal moment for traders as the Fed decision looms and Q4 earnings heat up.
Price is holding above the lower trendline of a potential ascending triangle pattern, with buyers defending support and momentum building for a potential breakout above peak resistance.
RSI on a daily basis sits in the mid-50s (neutral), but with room for renewed upside if a breakout occurs. Alternatively, a reset down to oversold could lead to a short-term decline of around 5% to the prior bottom.
But October’s strong earnings and increased bets on Fed rate cuts provide a positive tailwind for small caps this quarter.
Watch for a shift in flows from big tech and mega-caps to small caps if market breadth improves post-Fed.
Keep an eye on the top, as a breakout could open the door to new all-time highs and fresh momentum for the Russell 2000. Don’t miss the rotation potential as Q4 trading picks up.

Ethereum VS. Russell 2000 Russell 2000 index and Ethereum charts follow a strikingly similar pattern.
Both assets peaked in November 2021 and then entered a prolonged correction. Interestingly, both formed major lows around April 2025.
The Russell 2000, just before breaking through the 2021 ATH resistance area, retested the demand zone, just as CRYPTOCAP:ETH is currently doing.
This similarity suggests that Ethereum could be poised for a strong breakout, following in the footsteps of the Russell 2000.

Russell hits new highsSo much for the government shutdown. US equity indices have rallied again today, thanks to ongoing bullish momentum and AI optimism. Bets that the Fed easing will continue to support corporate earnings are keeping the bulls fully in charge with traders continuing to take the ongoing US gov shutdown in their stride..
While tech stocks continue to shine -- led by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which soared after signing a deal with OpenAI to roll out AI infrastructure -- small caps are doing great too ahead of the earnings season.
The Russell has been printing lots of bullish price action lately and we have called for new highs on the index. It has not let us down and today climbed to a new high, after taking out a long-term resistance zone between 2461 and 2468, marking the highs from 2021 and 2024.
The breakout means the index has also poked its head above last week's high at 2491, thus invalidating the bearish-looking inverted hammer candle that had pointed to a potential top. Well that candle only preceded a modest pullback, as the index has now hit a new record. 2500, 2600 could be the next upside targets from. Key support levels below that 2461-2468 range are marked on the chart.

US2000 Layered LSMA Pullback Strategy – Bullish Opportunity🚀 US2000 Index – Thief Plan: LSMA Pullback + Layered Entries 📊
📌 Trading Plan (Swing / Day Trade)
Strategy: Bullish LSMA moving average pullback plan 📈
Thief Style Entries (Layering Method):
Multiple buy-limit layers at 2340 / 2350 / 2360 / 2370
You can increase layers based on your own strategy & risk 🧩
Stop Loss (SL): Thief SL @ 2310 (adjust based on your own plan & risk) 🛡️
Target (TP): Strong resistance at 2450 ⚠️ – “Police barricade” 🚓
Note: This is not a fixed TP recommendation. Thief OG’s 🎭, take profits where it fits your risk and reward. 💰
❓ Why This Plan? (Thief Logic)
🔹 Technical (Thief Strategy)
Bulls loading pressure with LSMA pullback signals 🐂.
Layered entries reduce timing risk and allow multiple profit grabs.
Strong resistance ahead at 2450 = escape zone before “police barricade” 🚨.
🔹 Sentimental Reasoning
Retail sentiment 58% bullish 🟢 vs. 32% bearish 🔴 → optimism is leaning upward.
Institutions also show 52% bullish bias, confirming retail direction ⚖️.
Fear & Greed index at 52/100 = Neutral 😐 → balanced emotions, not overheated.
🔹 Fundamental Reasoning
Earnings growth ~12% expected in 2025 💼 supporting equity demand.
Consumer spending still rising (+0.5% in July) 🛍️ keeps the economy resilient.
Fed policy steady at 4.25%–4.50% 🏦 = stable environment for stocks.
🔹 Macro Reasoning
Inflation above Fed target (Core PCE 2.9% y/y) 📈 = caution flag.
Trade tariffs 🌐 add uncertainty, but no crash-level risk.
Fed rate cut expected in September 🔽 = bullish fuel if confirmed.
👉 Thief Conclusion: Fundamentals 💼 + Sentiment 🧠 + Macro 🌍 align with a slightly bullish thief setup. The layering style plan matches the market bias → stack the layers, steal the profits, and escape before 2450 barricade hits 🚀💰.

Russell eases to test key short-term supportThe Russell has bounce off its lows a tiny bit but could we now see a more decisive recovery heading deeper into the U.S. session?
The markets have been holding firm with tech sector leading the spx500 to a new high today, even though the index then came off earlier highs amid profit taking with government shutdown making things complicated.
Still, the trend is clearly bullish and we could well see the small cap index hold support here around 2435 which was prior resistance.
On the upside 2468 is the main level to watch. Break this and a new ATH above 2491 could be on the cards.

Russell 2000 Year-End Price Target and Technical Rebound OutlookIf you ahven`t bought the Double Bottom on RUT 2K:
Now the Russell 2000 Index (RUT), which tracks small-cap stocks, has recently entered oversold territory, signaling that a potential technical rebound could be on the horizon. Oversold conditions typically occur when selling pressure becomes excessive, driving the index below its fundamental value and creating an opportunity for a corrective bounce.
Several technical indicators, including the Relative Strength Index (RSI), have fallen below the 30 level — a classic oversold signal. Historically, similar setups have led to strong short-term recoveries as buying interest returns once the selling momentum exhausts itself.
Additionally, market breadth indicators suggest that the recent pullback has been broad-based, with a high percentage of RUT 2K components trading below their 50-day and 200-day moving averages. This type of widespread weakness often precedes a period of mean reversion, where prices bounce back toward key resistance levels.
Given these technical signals, my price target for RUT 2K is $2,450 by the end of the year. A rebound toward this level would represent a recovery of approximately 10-12% from current levels, aligning with previous post-oversold rallies in the index. If broader market sentiment stabilizes and small caps benefit from improving economic conditions or easing rate hike pressures, the path toward this target becomes increasingly plausible.
While downside risks remain — including ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions — the technical setup suggests that RUT 2K is primed for a recovery in the coming months.

RUSSELL Will it correct this time also?Russell 2000 (RUT) has been trading within a Channel Up since late April and right now its current Bullish Leg is about to test the pattern's top (Higher Highs trend-line).
It has completed a +9.01% rise from the August 20 Low, which is the same increase of the previous (August 01 - 13) Bullish Leg and that has been the 'weakest' one out of all Legs of the Channel Up (+11.07%, +10.93% and +10.33% the others).
As a result, we can start thinking about taking profits on this run and an upcoming new pull-back (red Bearish Leg/ Channel Down) within a Sell Zone that extends up to +11.07% (2500).
Within this Zone, any rejection we get, we are targeting 2380, which is the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level applied on the minimum +9.01% rally.

Breakout attempt by $RUSSELL. Can it do it? Supported by $DXYIn this blog space we have been watching the Cup and Handle pattern in the small cap index $RUSSELL. Back in July 15 we said that there is a major resistance @ 2400.
$RUSSEL: Completion of Cup and Handle formation or higher? for IG:RUSSELL by RabishankarBiswal — TradingView
But as we are near the top of the previous high and towards the end of the completion pattern of this major Cup and handle formation for almost 3 years, we must see which direction the index will resolve. For that we need to investigate US Dollar index $DXY.
We have been bearish on TVC:DXY with 95 as our short-term target. Currently @ 97 this 2% down movement can provide major boost to risk assets and $RUSSELL.
TVC:DXY : New lows begets new lows. ECONOMICS:USM2 : Why is it increasing? for TVC:DXY by RabishankarBiswal — TradingView
With major Fed decision coming next week and weakness by TVC:DXY we can say the path of least resistance for IG:RUSSELL is upwards and breaks above the major resistance in this cup and handle pattern.
Verdict: IG:RUSSELL can go higher if TVC:DXY goes lower and Fed cuts. Once above 2400 then we are in price discovery mode for $RUSSELL.
Russel 2000 | H4 Head and Shoulders | GTradingMethodHello Traders.
Welcome to today's trade idea by GTradingMethod.
🧐 Market Overview:
Since April 2025, this rally has been powering higher, leaving little room for pullbacks. But momentum is starting to show cracks — indicators are flashing signs of exhaustion. This doesn’t mean a sharp drop is guaranteed; markets often pause and drift sideways to shake off overbought pressure.
What I’m watching closely now is whether a head and shoulders pattern takes shape. If price steps into and closes in my entry zone, it could mark the start of a deeper pullback, but confirmation is key before jumping in.
📊 Trade Plan:
Risk/Reward: 3.9
Entry: 2,359.6
Stop Loss: 2,379.7
Take Profit 1 (50%): 2,292.9
Take Profit 2 (50%): 2,258.7
💡 GTradingMethod Tip:
Patience is a trading edge. Waiting for confirmation keeps you aligned with probability and protects you from unnecessary losses.

Russell continues to paint bullish PA for small capsSmall caps have surged higher in recent days as investors warm towards companies most exposed to the domestic US economy, in part thanks to rising expectations for interest rate cuts.
The Russell is also showing clean price action from a bullish point of view: breaking key levels and defending them. Once such level was around 2325 which it took out on Friday in response to a dovish Powell. That level has turned into support today after Monday's slight pullback. Though it is possible we could see a break below this level and for the index to test longer term levels, that wouldn't necessarily be the end of the bullish run. Below this level, the next support to watch is around 2280 followed by 2232.
Resistance is now seen around round handles like 2,400 and the previous high of 2468. That could be the target for the bulls from here.

RUSSELL Generational Bullish Cup & Handle pattern Russell has created a generational sized bullish cup and handel pattern, with the crypto alt season heating up along side, i have highlighted the 2021 alt coin season to show that alts moed hundreds of percent where Russell made a strong impulsive move upwards but then consoldated, i believe this will be dwarfed on the alt coin charts with a huge breakout on Russell pending.
Target for Rusell 3300, target for alt coins Moon.

IWM Appears Due for a Minimum 40-60% Downside CorrectionOn the lower timeframes IWM has been treating $223 as short term support with much sold put leverage building at $220 and recently IWM has begun to retrace back down into those levels putting those sold puts at risk of expanding the volatility and of squeezing through these short puts as a result.
The short term the loss of this zone could likely squeeze down to $200.
However in the longer term we have been trading within this much larger parallel channel since the peak and bottom of 2008-2009 GFC and have started to form a potential peak paired with a Bearish Shark. I think that if we were to start to see some serious downside the IWM could trade back down to not just the bottom of the channel but down to one of the 3 major horizontal supports I have plotted on the cart down at $121, $85.74, or even $41.11 if things get real bad.
Personally I will be targeting one of the 2 upper horizontal supports in the longer dated positioning while targeting the $210-$200 levels in the short term.
I'd suspect this decline to come especially as Fed Rate cut expectations are completely priced out of the market, it is worth mentioning that fed funds futures around the start of the month dropped their expectations of rate cuts for the September meeting down to 0 and we may now be on the path to pricing in rate hikes as seen in the chart below.
Alternatively the expectations for rates going into the end of December has been on a fast trajectory of pricing out rate cuts as well, starting at 90BPS of rate cuts at the start of the year, now pricing in only 37.5BPS in rate cuts:
This ongoing shift in these fed futures spreads from positive to negative signifies the amount that Fed Funds Futures are expecting the Fed to hike rates with both the instance of rate hikes and rate cuts likely to cause a collapse in credit spreads as the bond market yield shift higher leaving the interest rate sensitive IWM to be one of the most negatively affected.
