⚠️ Note: Dear Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OG’s) — this is not a mandatory stop level. Manage your risk wisely and trade responsibly. Profit is yours; protection is your duty.
💰 Profit Target
Target Zone: 2610.0
There’s strong resistance, possible overbought traps, and liquidity sitting above — so exit smart, not late!
💎 Again, this is not a fixed take-profit. Trade the chart, not my words — make money, then take money.
🔍 Correlated Pairs to Watch
SPX (S&P 500) — often leads US2000 momentum; a strong SPX usually supports Russell upside.
NDX (NASDAQ 100) — tech-heavy sentiment can either fuel or fade small-cap momentum.
VIX (Volatility Index) — a falling VIX strengthens the bullish case for US2000.
DXY (US Dollar Index) — inverse correlation; a weaker USD can push US equities higher.
Tracking these helps confirm cross-market sentiment and align your entries with smart money flow.
