RUSSELL 17-year Channel Up starting a correction.Two weeks ago (January 23, see chart below) we gave a Sell Signal on Russell 2000 (RUT) that turned out to be very timely and is about to hit our 2550 short-term Target:
Today we move back to the macro setting on the 1M time-frame as the market seems overheated on the long-term following a flawless rally of successive green candles since the April 2025 Low. That Low was on the 1M MA100 (green trend-line), the long-term Support trend-line that also priced the October 2023 Low and since October 2011 it only broke during the March 2020 COVID crash.
As you can see, the 1M RSI is just below a long-term Lower Highs trend-line (Bearish Divergence) and every time the market peaked, it corrected back to at least its 1M MA50 (blue trend-line) and its 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level. This has taken place 4 times out of 4 within the dominant 17-year Channel Up.
As a result, we expect 2026 to be a year of correction for Russell, targeting the 0.382 Fib and 1M MA50 (at least) at 2245.

US2000 Index | Trend-Aligned Long Opportunity๐ฏ Russell 2000 (US2000) CFD โ Bullish Breakout Setup | Day/Swing Trade Strategy ๐
๐ฅ MARKET OVERVIEW & OPPORTUNITY
The Russell 2000 Index (US2000) is flashing a strong bullish continuation setup! ๐ช Clean pullback to the Simple Moving Average (SMA) has been confirmed, giving us a high-probability entry zone for both day traders and swing traders looking to ride the momentum wave. ๐
This isn't financial adviceโthis is the Thief OG method ๐ฆนโโ๏ธ๐ฐ: stealth entries, layered limits, and strategic exits before the police (resistance zones) shut down the party! ๐จ
๐ TRADE PLAN BREAKDOWN
๐ข BIAS: BULLISH โ
Confirmation: Price respecting SMA pullback structure + momentum building ๐
๐ฏ ENTRY STRATEGY (Thief's Limit Layer Method):
You can enter at ANY price level if you're aggressive, but the OG Thief strategy uses limit orders to stack entries like a pro:
๐ก๏ธ Layer 1: 2620
๐ก๏ธ Layer 2: 2630
๐ก๏ธ Layer 3: 2640
๐ก๏ธ Layer 4: 2650
Why limits? Scale in like a smart money playerโdon't chase, let the market come to YOU. ๐
๐ฏ TAKE PROFIT TARGETS (Escape Before The Cops Arrive! ๐)
The police force (resistance zones) are waiting above, along with overbought conditions, bull traps, and correlation resistance. Here's where you grab your bag and RUN:
โ
TP1: 2690 โ "First liquidity grab completed" ๐ต
โ
TP2: 2740 โ "Final liquidity sweep โ exit complete!" ๐ฐ๐โโ๏ธ
โ ๏ธ Note to Thief OG's (Ladies & Gentlemen): I'm NOT telling you to blindly follow my TPs. YOUR money = YOUR rules. Take profits when YOU feel comfortable. Trade at your own risk! ๐ฒ
๐ STOP LOSS (Thief's Safety Net):
๐ป SL: 2600 โ Cut it loose if this level breaks. No emotional attachments! ๐

๐ต DXY (US Dollar Index) โ Inverse correlation; weak dollar = strong equities
๐ข๏ธ Crude Oil (WTI) โ Risk-on sentiment & inflation hedge correlation
Key Correlation Insight: If SPY & QQQ are pumping with weak DXY, expect US2000 to follow the bullish wave! ๐๐
๐ฐ FUNDAMENTAL & ECONOMIC FACTORS (What's Moving The Market?)
๐ Recent News Drivers:
โ
Fed Policy Stance: Dovish tone or rate pause = bullish for small-cap equities like Russell 2000

๐ฆนโโ๏ธ THIEF TRADER STYLE: MOTIVATION & WISDOM ๐
"The market rewards patience, punishes greed, and respects the disciplined thief who knows when to enter... and when to escape." ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐ฐ

RUSSELL Overbought for the 3rd time in 7 months. Sell.Last time we had a look at Russell 2000 (RUT) was 2 months ago (November 28 2025, see chart below) where we gave a strong Buy Signal that quickly hit our 2600 Target:
This time, with the price approaching the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of its 10-month Channel Up, the technical sentiment turns bearish again. The maximum a Bullish Leg rose by within this pattern was +21.74% (its 1st) and since the 1D RSI got overbought for the 3rd time in 7 months (the previous two were Higher High tops), we expect the index to start a new Bearish Leg soon.
The last two Bearish Legs pulled back and hit at least their 0.5 Fibonacci levels. Even from a potential +21.50% max, that gives us a 2550 Target for the short-term, which won't only be a Higher Low bottom for the Channel Up, but will also test the 1D MA100 (green trend-line).

Russell 2000 Bullish Bias | Accumulation Before Expansion๐ฏ US2000 (Russell 2000) Index CFD | Bullish Swing Trade Setup ๐
๐ฅ MARKET OPPORTUNITY: Small-Cap Breakout Play ๐ฅ
๐ TRADE PLAN OVERVIEW
Strategy: Bullish Accumulation โ Resistance Breakout โ Re-accumulation Zone
Timeframe: Swing Trade (Multi-day to weeks)
Technical Confirmation: Simple Moving Average (SMA) pullback creating accumulation zone + Overbought resistance breakout signaling continuation momentum
๐ฐ ENTRY STRATEGY: "THIEF LAYERING METHOD" ๐ฐ
โก Multi-Limit Order Layering Strategy (DCA Style) โก
Instead of a single entry, we're using multiple buy limit orders to build our position strategically:
๐ฏ Layer 1: 2560
๐ฏ Layer 2: 2580
๐ฏ Layer 3: 2600
๐ก Pro Tip: You can add MORE layers based on your capital and risk appetite! This "ladder entry" approach averages your cost and reduces timing risk during volatile accumulation phases.
๐จ OR: Market Entry Available - Jump in at ANY current price level if you prefer aggressive entry over layering!
๐ก๏ธ RISK MANAGEMENT
Stop Loss (Thief's SL): 2530 โ
โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

๐ "Police Force" Resistance Alert:

โ
Bullish Catalysts to Consider:
1๏ธโฃ Federal Reserve Policy Easing ๐ฆ
If Fed maintains dovish stance or signals rate cuts, small-caps (Russell 2000) typically outperform as they're more sensitive to borrowing costs
2๏ธโฃ Economic Soft Landing Narrative ๐โก๏ธ๐
If inflation cools without recession, domestic-focused small-caps benefit heavily
3๏ธโฃ Dollar Weakness ๐ตโฌ๏ธ
Falling DXY supports risk assets; Russell 2000 tends to rally when USD weakens
4๏ธโฃ Earnings Season Performance ๐
Monitor upcoming small-cap earnings reports; positive surprises fuel momentum
5๏ธโฃ Banking Sector Stability ๐ฆโ
Russell 2000 has significant financial exposure; stable/rising financials = bullish for index
โ ๏ธ Bearish Risks to Monitor:
1๏ธโฃ Recession Fears ๐๐ฐ
Small-caps underperform during economic contraction; watch GDP, unemployment data
2๏ธโฃ Fed Hawkish Surprise ๐ฆ
๐
Higher-for-longer rates hurt small-caps disproportionately (debt-heavy balance sheets)
3๏ธโฃ Credit Market Stress ๐ณโ ๏ธ
Rising corporate bond yields or credit spreads = danger for leveraged small-caps
4๏ธโฃ Geopolitical Tensions ๐๐ฅ
Trade wars, conflicts = risk-off sentiment = exodus from small-caps
5๏ธโฃ Strong Dollar Rally ๐ต๐
DXY strength typically pressures equities, especially domestic-focused Russell 2000
๐
UPCOMING KEY EVENTS TO WATCH ๐๏ธ
๐ Fed Meeting Minutes/Speeches - Any policy shift hints
๐ CPI/PPI Inflation Data - Inflation trajectory crucial for rate policy
๐ Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) - Employment strength = economic health gauge
๐ Small-Cap Earnings Reports - Watch Russell 2000 component earnings
๐ ISM Manufacturing/Services PMI - Economic activity indicators
๐ Regional Banking Sector Updates - Financial stability matters for IWM
๐ KEY TECHNICAL POINTS ๐
โ
SMA Pullback = Healthy Accumulation - Price retracing to moving average shows institutional buying interest
โ
Overbought Breakout - Previous resistance becomes new support after successful break
โ

Can the Russell 2000 Lead the Next Bull Wave Above Resistance?๐ RUSSELL 2000: The Ultimate Small-Cap Breakout Blueprint ๐๐ฐ
๐ฏ Market Overview: IWM Russell 2000 Index Analysis
The Russell 2000 (RUT/IWM) is setting up for what could be a chef's kiss momentum play! ๐งโ๐ณโจ We're tracking a bullish continuation setup backed by triangular moving average confluence and a classic pullback-to-breakout pattern. Small-caps are flexing, and this technical structure screams opportunity for swing and day traders alike.
๐ The Trade Setup (Swing/Day Strategy)
Bias: ๐ข BULLISH
Confirmation: Triangular moving average pullback + volume expansion
Key Level to Watch: 2550.0 (Overbought resistance zone breakout)
๐ฏ Entry Strategy: Layered Scaling Approach
Primary Entry: Post-breakout above 2550.0 โ
โก Pro Tip: Set price alerts on your platform to catch the breakout in real-time without staring at charts all day!
Layered Entry Levels (Scaling In):
๐น 2500.0
๐น 2510.0
๐น 2520.0
๐น 2530.0
๐น 2540.0
This scaling approach allows you to build your position gradually while managing risk like a pro. ๐ง ๐ผ
๐ Risk Management Zone
Stop Loss: 2480.0 ๐ด
โ ๏ธ Disclaimer: This is MY stop-loss based on technical structure. YOU manage your own risk tolerance! Trade smart, not reckless. Your capital, your rules. ๐ฏ
๐ฏ Profit Target Zone
Target: 2610.0 ๐ฏ๐ฐ
This zone represents confluence of:
Strong historical resistance
Overbought territory
Potential bull trap zone (watch for exhaustion!)
โ ๏ธ Profit-Taking Note: Lock in gains as we approach target. Don't get greedyโpigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered! ๐ท๐ช This is MY target, but YOU decide when to secure profits based on YOUR strategy.
๐ Related Markets & Correlation Watch
Keep an eye on these correlated assets for confirmation:
Direct Exposure:
AMEX:IWM (iShares Russell 2000 ETF) - Primary tracking vehicle
TVC:RUT (Russell 2000 Index Futures)
Correlation Plays:
AMEX:SPY (S&P 500) - Broad market sentiment gauge
NASDAQ:QQQ (Nasdaq-100) - Tech/growth sector correlation
AMEX:DIA (Dow Jones) - Large-cap comparison
Key Correlation Note: Russell 2000 typically outperforms during risk-on environments and underperforms large-caps during risk-off. Watch for small-cap premium expansion as confirmation of bullish thesis. When IWM/IWM/
IWM/SPY ratio rises, small-caps are leadingโbullish for RUT! ๐๐ฅ
Economic Indicators:
TVC:DXY (US Dollar Index) - Inverse correlation (weak dollar = small-cap strength)
TVC:TNX (10-Year Treasury Yield) - Interest rate sensitivity
Regional bank stocks (small-cap economy proxy)
๐ Key Technical Points
โ
Triangular MA Pullback Complete - Classic retest of support
โ
Volume Profile - Accumulation zone established
โ
2550.0 Resistance - Break and hold = explosive upside
โ
Risk/Reward Ratio - ~1:1.5+ (70 points risk / 110+ points reward)
โ
Timeframe Alignment - Multi-timeframe confluence supporting the move
โก The Thief's Edge: Why This Setup Works
Small-caps are the wild horses of the marketโvolatile, fast, and rewarding when you ride the trend! ๐๐จ 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 knivesโwe're riding tested support into breakout territory! ๐ฏ
๐ง 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 adviceโthis is a battle-tested framework for market participants who understand probability over certainty. ๐ฒ๐๐

๐ง Thief Strategy โ Layered Limit Entries (Multi-Order Method)
To manage volatility + trap liquidity like a pro, we use layered buy limits.

2470
2480
2490
2500
(Feel free to add more layers based on your own capital, risk model, or spread environment.)
This layered technique helps you:
โก Catch deeper pullbacks
โก Reduce average entry cost
โก Beat market whipsaws
โก Accumulate position silently like a true OG
๐ Stop Loss โ Safety First
SL: 2450
Dear Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OGs), adjust this SL as per your strategy, risk appetite, and volatility conditions.
This is not a forced SL โ your account, your rules.
๐ฏ Target โ Exit with Profits, Not with Ego
Our take-profit sits near:
TP: 2570
Why?
๐ผ Moving averages above are acting as a strong dynamic resistance zone
๐ผ Market nearing overbought territory
๐ผ Potential bull trap zone, so escape elegantly with profits
Again, OGs โ your TP is your own choice. Manage your bag with discipline.
๐ Market Psychology & Structure Insight
The US2000 typically reacts faster to sentiment compared to big indices like SPX or NASDAQ because small-caps absorb liquidity shocks quicker.
This bullish pullback presents a classic โbuy the dip into MAโ play โ a favourite among swing traders.
๐ Related Pairs To Watch (Correlation Keynotes)
๐ต SP:SPX / AMEX:SPY (S&P 500)
Strong positive correlation
If SPX is bullish, US2000 usually follows with stronger momentum
Watch SPXโs 4H trend for confirmation
๐ NASDAQ:NDX / NASDAQ:QQQ (NASDAQ 100)
When tech rallies, small-caps often catch delayed momentum
A strong NASDAQ risk-on pulse boosts US2000 sentiment
๐ TVC:DXY (U.S. Dollar Index)
Inverse correlation
Weak DXY boosts equities (US2000 included)
If DXY drops, small-cap indices often pump harder
TVC:VIX (Volatility Index)
Direct risk-sentiment indicator
Falling VIX = bullish for US2000
Rising VIX = be cautious with new entries
๐ผ TVC:DJI (Dow Jones)
Large caps lead in stability
When Dow is stable/bullish โ risk-on spillover increases small-cap flows
๐ Final Thought
This setup suits traders who love structured pullbacks, clean MA-based momentum, and layered entries. Manage risk, scale smart, and take profit with intention โ not emotion.
RUSSELL targeting 2600 on this Bullish Leg.Russell 2000 (RUT) has been trading within an 8-month Channel Up since the April 07 market bottom and following its latest correction (Bearish Leg), it recovered this week its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), having already started the new Bullish Leg.
The minimum rise a Bullish Leg had within this pattern has been +13.73%. As a result, we expect the current one to hit at least 2600. Notice also the 1D MACD Bullish Cross, which has always been a confirmation of a new rally.

Can Small Caps Outperform as US2000 Approaches Resistance?๐ US2000 Index โ Market Wealth Strategy Map (Swing/Day Trade)
Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OGโs) โ hereโs a fresh layering entry plan for US2000 with a bullish outlook. This is my playful "Thief Strategy" style โ multiple entries, multiple chances, and yesโฆ multiple exits too. ๐
๐ Plan: Bullish Bias
๐ธ Entry (Layering Style):
Limit Buy Orders: 2430 / 2440 / 2450
You can expand layers further depending on your own risk appetite.
๐ This layered entry style (a.k.a. Thief Strategy) spreads out execution points to reduce risk of missing the move.
๐ก๏ธ Stop Loss (SL):
Thief SL parked at 2410
โ ๏ธ Note: This is my risk level. Please set your SL according to your own money management.
๐ฏ Target (TP):
2490 โ โVoltage Lockโ Zone โก (Strong resistance barrier + overbought levels + possible trap area).
โ ๏ธ Note: Not financial advice. Iโm sharing my target, but your TP is your choice โ secure profits as you see fit.
๐ Correlation Watchlist / Related Pairs:
OANDA:SPX500USD (S&P 500) โ often leads the broader market sentiment.
TVC:DJI (Dow Jones 30) โ check rotation between large caps vs small caps.
NASDAQ:NDX (Nasdaq 100) โ tech moves can spill over into Russell small caps.
TVC:VIX (Volatility Index) โ higher volatility can impact layered entries & SL triggers.
Correlation tip: When SP:SPX and NASDAQ:NDX are pumping together, US2000 often follows with strong momentum. But if TVC:VIX spikes, layered buys can get trapped near support levels.
๐ Key Notes:
Layering helps spread entries across multiple levels to avoid emotional panic buys.
The "Voltage Lock" resistance at 2490 is my escape zone. Donโt marry the trade โ date it, profit, and leave. ๐โก๏ธ๐ต
This is a strategy style I use โ not a recommendation. Trade safe.
โจ โIf you find value in my analysis, a ๐ and ๐ boost is much appreciated โ it helps me share more setups with the community!โ

Is Smart Money Accumulating in US2000 Before the Next Move?๐ฏ RUSSELL 2000: Institutions Loading Up While You Sleep! ๐ฐ
๐ Asset Overview
US2000 / RUSSELL 2000 Index CFD - The small-cap kingmaker is showing serious institutional footprints!
๐ฅ The Setup: Bullish Retest at SMA
The Russell is doing that classic "look weak, go strong" move! ๐
We're seeing a textbook retest pullback at the Simple Moving Average - and guess who's quietly accumulating? The big money institutions! ๐ฆ While retail traders are panicking, the smart money is silently entering positions like ninjas in the night. ๐ฅท
Translation: The trend is your friend, and right now that friend is buying the dip!
๐ The "Thief Strategy" Entry Plan
Layered Entry Approach ๐ฏ
This isn't your grandma's single-entry strategy! We're using multiple limit orders (aka "The Thief Layering Method"):
Layer 1: 2440
Layer 2: 2460
Layer 3: 2480
Pro tip: Scale in like you're building a pyramid scheme, except this one actually makes money! ๐
Or: Jump in at current market price if you're feeling spicy ๐ถ๏ธ
๐ก๏ธ Risk Management
Stop Loss: 2420
โ ๏ธ Thief's Disclaimer: This is MY stop loss based on MY risk tolerance. You do you! Manage your own risk like the responsible adult trader you are (or aspire to be). Take what makes sense for YOUR account size and sleep-at-night level.
๐ฏ Target Zone
Take Profit: 2600 ๐
Here's where it gets interesting - we've got a POLICE BARRICADE situation brewing! ๐จ
What's a Police Barricade? It's when you've got:
โ
Strong resistance level
โ
Overbought conditions
โ
Potential trap zone for late buyers
The Game Plan: Secure those gains before the party gets too crowded! When you see 2600, that's your cue to take profits and live to trade another day.
Another Thief Disclaimer: This is MY target. You're the captain of your own ship! ๐ข If you want to take profits earlier or let it ride longer, that's YOUR call. Make money, then TAKE money - at your own risk and discretion!
๐ Related Pairs to Watch

AMEX:IWM (iShares Russell 2000 ETF)
Direct ETF tracking the Russell 2000
Higher liquidity for stock traders
Mirrors US2000 movement almost perfectly
AMEX:SPY (S&P 500 ETF)
Broad market correlation
Risk-on sentiment indicator
When SPY pumps, Russell often follows (with extra volatility!)
AMEX:DIA (Dow Jones ETF)
Blue-chip correlation check
Divergence signals can warn of small-cap weakness
NASDAQ:QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF)
Tech sector correlation
Russell 2000 often leads or lags based on risk appetite
๐ Key Correlation Insight: Russell 2000 is the risk-on barometer! When investors feel confident, small-caps outperform. When fear creeps in, they sell off harder than large-caps. Watch the broader indices for confirmation of market sentiment!
๐ Technical Summary
Bias: Bullish ๐
Setup Type: Retest/Pullback Entry
Strategy: Layered Entry (Thief Method)
Risk/Reward: Favorable with defined stops
Institutional Activity: Accumulation phase detected ๐ฆ
โก The Bottom Line
This setup screams institutional accumulation! The smart money doesn't announce their entries on CNBC - they quietly load up while everyone else is distracted. Be the thief, not the victim! ๐ญ
Remember: Markets reward patience and punish FOMO. Layer in, manage your risk, and let the trade come to you!
