A strong bullish daily candle confirms the breakout of the significant resistance level. The small caps entered a balance breakout mode. Usually, that would lead to continuation pattern until the projected area top is not reached. The bullish pattern would help the S&P to move higher or at least to remain at the current prices. The small caps offer better upside...
It seems the upside idea started to unfold. With a low volume there is no strong upside move, nevertheless , a breakout remains intact so far. The market can grind up being in the breakout mode for awhile. Traders are advised to buy pullbacks until the breakout is intact.
The strength in the Russell helped the S&P, which was expected and outlined in the previous...
After December selloff, SPX is at all time highs where Russell is clearly lagging. I think the reason is that after panic investors are now biased to buy big company stocks rather than small and risky ones. I think Russell will catch up with SPX if (!) this performance in SPX will continue.
The Russell 2000, a true indicator of the broader market strength, is keep testing its major resistance. The original idea that it could offer a better upside reward is still intact. Usually, a support or resistance eventually gives up after multiple testes.
In case of the successful breakout the released energy would propel the market - there will be a lot of...
Here is a dissected daily chart of Russell 2000 futures with important levels to watch. As of today, the index remains the weakest among the others. Last week it tested an important trend line but managed to close above it. The index has an interesting behavior that could be used to trader's advantage. For example, it may be in a catch up mode and trend well...
We have two Broadening Wedges Descending back to back and that makes for a mighty interesting price development. The price target for each is different. So which one do we follow. I'll take the larger dominant pattern and take the second one for confirmation. Do we get lift off? I say we do. The Russell is lagging a bit behind the other major indices so it'll be a...
I am not a big proponent of trendlines but this pattern is coming to a head real soon. This wedge lines up with a bunch of other stuff I am seeing, hearing, feeling.
Not sure how or when it plays out but it would seem logical to sell a bit in to the strength and buy some puts about a month out.
Trend is up still until we lost that lower trend line. We are more than 50% back from the ATH and the sell off reversal area. Love that little doji that formed on Friday. We most likely break in the direction of the high or low with strength. My upper target on RTY is 1530.7 then 1560 area.
Lower areas of support 1498-1500, lower 1478-80, and 1465 (and 18 day...
The Russell 2000 futures, that represent small caps and broader market strength, is primed for a directional move. A mature multi day balance has a potential for a breakout to upside. The upside target levels are marked. The related indices just broke to upside today. The Russell has a potential to catch-up.
Since anticipating a bottom on Dec. 25, we have seen a significant and vicious bear market rally - enough to scare many bears and draw some bulls back in. I'm seeing some setups now that this rally is near the end, so I'm selling longs and will be opening shorts into any further rallies this week.
Here we have the Russel2000 where a significant breakout midpoint...
