Elliott Wave Outlook: Wave 5 in Russell (RTY) May Target 2386A bullish cycle, launched from the April 9, 2025 low, continues to develop as a five-wave impulse. Starting from that low, wave ((1)) peaked at 1948.6, followed by a wave ((2)) pullback to 1794.3. The Index then rallied in wave ((3)), reaching 2296.5. Wave ((4)) formed a double-three structure, with wave (W) ending at 2224.2, wave (X) at 2245.7, and wave (Y) dropping to 2146.96, completing wave ((4)). The Index has since advanced in wave ((5)), which unfolds as a smaller-scale impulse.
From the wave ((4)) low, wave 1 climbed to 2251.7, and wave 2 corrected to 2208.1, addressing the earlier typo of 22081. The Index then surged in wave 3, also an impulse. Within wave 3, wave ((i)) hit 2238.9, wave ((ii)) dipped to 2220.3, wave ((iii)) rose to 2338.1, and wave ((iv)) pulled back to 2284.2. As long as the 2146.9 pivot low remains intact, the Index should push higher.
In the near term, the bullish structure favors continued upside. Traders must monitor the 2146.9 low, as a break below could indicate a reversal. For now, wave ((5))’s momentum suggests further gains, with the Index likely to test new highs soon. Staying above the pivot reinforces the bullish outlook for the immediate future.
Gold silver coffeeFriday the 8th the real reason for this video is that I need some help from somebody who's younger and smarter than me. However, there are some important changes to gold and silver that could be very profitable if you pick the right trade location for the direction of the market you want to take. I am having some problems on the four-hour chart. Something changed on an upgrade which caused a lot of changes..... For our bars are critical for me and I could use some help.... With what I'm guessing is an easy solution, but I'm an old guy and I just can't figure it out. thanks.
RTY : Key levelsHere are the key levels that the market will be interested in. From ~2.206 you can take scalping longs. Also interesting longing levels are forming now. I will let you know when they are formed and when they will be in play.
⚠️ VOLATILITY WARNING ⚠️
Trading around major news can be extremely unpredictable. Trade responsibly!
RTY & YM DOWNMVP SYSTEM
MOMENTUM- The RSI broke below the uptrend line
VOLUME- large volume bearish candle
PRICE - multi top, rounded
ES & NQ also have bearish engulfing candles but the rsi has not broken the uptrend channel. When that occurs, all of the MVP rules will be met for a down position.
So people say not to play the vix but cmon it’s so low right now. If all of the indices break to the downside… a small lotto could be a worthwhile play.
RUT vs IWM – VolanX Sees the Same PulseThe Russell 2000 (RUT) is echoing IWM’s footprint with precision. Both charts are cycling through a similar Smart Money Concepts (SMC) structure – BOS, CHoCH, and strong liquidity grabs.
VolanX reads this as accumulation in the discount zone, preparing for a premium drive toward 2,288+.
Equilibrium Pivot: Price is reclaiming balance near 2,264.
Premium Target: First reaction likely around 2,276 – 2,288 zone.
Volume Surge: Smart money volume spikes confirm stealth accumulation.
If IWM continues its climb, RUT could follow with a volatility burst into the premium zone, setting up for a momentum push into next week.
"Do you see RUT shadowing IWM’s footsteps, or is this a fake-out? VolanX bets on symmetry."

07/21 Trade for RussellPatience is key.
1. Variation (Yellow): Wait for the downside to end and the wick to confirm the rejection to the downside and buy when its on the way up.
2.Wick(Blue): I had to adjust the time frames for confirmation so I used 15min and 30min to adjust my entry.
3.Volume: I had the strength on my side so I enter confidentl
07/18 Trade Russel1. Variation: As we can see over and over again the bears(sellers) were losing momentum so I had to wait for their downfall.
Variation in this strategy in simple words is basically when you see a mix of bearish and bullish candles but on a downtrend. The whole point of the strategy is to buy when there is a trend
reversal and the only way to really confirm the reversal or at least knowing that is coming is to wait for...
2. Candle with a wick that rejects price going down further.
Usually, I like long wicks because it gives me more assurance but since this trade was before NY open
I had to take some risks but not without waiting for the final step....
3. Volume to the upside: When you see a big candle that means that the big boys (institutions like the guys handling your mama's pension) are getting their orders filled because they like to buy low and sell high to guys like me sometimes. Now, I rather buy only when they buy and use their low as a stop loss.
07/10 Trade with RTYUThe strategy is simple.
1. Variation: We need to wait for variation to the down side (bearish trend losing strength). As soon as I saw that the momentum with the Bears ( selling action) was coming to an end I waited for the second step in the strategy which is.....
2. Rejection Wick We need to wait for a candle to reject the bearish trend. So a bullish candle with a long wick could mean that the volume is refusing to go down further and pending buying positions start to kick in. However, we need to find another thing for the last step which is.
3. Confirmation candle: We need to find a bullish candle right after the other one with the long wick. Why? Because we need to know that the wick of the previous candle is going to work as our stop loss. So, waiting for momentum to confirm that now the Bulls are control is key to save you from headaches and fake promises. Usually 2 30 min bullish bar do the trick but sometimes the volume and the nice rejection could lead us to act quicker but proceeding with caution is key.
RUSSELL 2000 STILL IN BUY ZONE!Hey Traders so here we can see that it's building support levels and holding. So imo this is a bullish sign if Nasdaq 100 continues to rise I think it should push Russell higher as Nasdaq normally leads the market.
So if you are bullish make sure you put your stop below a good support level.
If bearish I would wait until market breaks serious support like 2030 or wait until Sept.

28% Profits Possible for Small CapsIt appears that small caps (and major large-cap stocks) are at a crucial point currently. The price breaking out of the bump-and-run pattern to the upside, combined with a neutral Fear and Greed Index, suggests a potential continuation of the bull run. The target is approximately $2,750, regardless of interest rate decisions. News about war has not significantly impacted the market so far.
RUSSELL 2000 PULLS BACK TO TRENDLINE SUPPORT ZONE WATCHING! Hey Traders so today continuing previous chart on Russell 2000 so as you can see markets always do eventually pull back most of the time.
So what now?
Well support at 2127 seems to want to hold. FED meeting tommorow of course could change that.
Always expect the unxepected in trading!
I am bullish Russell and the other Indexes also Nasdaq 100 seems to be holding support wanting to lead the market higher. But it all depends what they say in tommorows meeting. If they are hawkish stocks could come down hard. But if dovish probably rally from here.
I do not have a trade recommendation right now but will be watching how market reacts!
Good Luck to those who are Trading Tommorow.

Russell 2000 Breaks Above 50% Fibonacci Retracement Level!Hey Traders today was checking out the Russell 2000 again and it's bullish momentum is increasing fast.
But it's looking a little overbought now and so are the other indexes it's been an nice leg up so far and Im not saying it can't continue but remember what goes up must come down eventually. In the stock market it's called a correction for those who may be new to trading. So profit taking should bring prices back down before next leg up to all time highs hopefully.
So imo best way to trade it is look for a level that market could retrace back to before buying. the 50% retracement level is normally strong support so I think it market can retrace back to 2105 it looks like a good level to buy back in this market before the bullish momentum continues. Also this is right at the trend line and imo as a trend follower the best place you could ever buy is right at the trendline.
However when trading these indexes I notice that it's normally the Nasdaq 100 that leads the market higher. So if the Russell pulls down but the Nasdaq 100 does not. I would not take the trade but if Russell drops and Nasdaq drops also then I believe we have a good confirmation that market has corrected.
So I would just put an alert on tradingview at 2105.
Will markets always pull back?
No so you might need to make changes if bull run continues. But eventually they all will pullback trading is a game of patience.
So thats about it no indicators needed best indicator of all time is Price Action imo!

Russell Leads Equities HigherEquity markets saw a positive day today with the Russell leading the way higher being up over 1.5% on the session. For the S&P and Nasdaq, this was the third session in a row with a higher high, and the 200-day moving average has acted as a floor in these markets since the breakout higher on May 12th. CPI numbers came out for Europe and came in worse than expected, and then the JOLTs data released later in the day was a better than expected figure and equites saw prices rise throughout the day.
Outside markets also saw movement today with Crude Oil strength continuing up over 1% on the session and closing out above the 50-day moving average for the July contract. The Crude Oil market has not seen the recovery that equities did from the breakdown in early April, and are still trading below the breakdown point. Along with Crude Oil, crypto futures had a strong day today, with XRP trading up over 4% and Solana and Ether both rising over 2.5% on the session. Tomorrow traders will get a look at ADP Nonfarm Employment Change along with manufacturing data before the critical jobs data at the end of the week.

Russell 2000 at Important Resistance Level Hey Traders so today if we take a look at the Russell 2000 it is now at a very important resistance level 2105.
The reason this level is important imo is because it is also the 50 % Fibonacci Retracement Level from last years high. Markets normally retrace 50% of the last big move which it has now done after the big downtrend.
So if market can close above this level that would be very bullish for Russell 2000 and pullbacks would be great buying opportunities. However if Bearish I would wait for break below 1980 before shorting.
