Analysis for What’s Coming - AI Bubble Sentiment The US markets have been described as “on a rally” for quite some time. I would not agree if it is meant to describe the overall US market, but would agree if it refers specifically to AI or tech stocks. Why? Among the four major US indices, the Russell—representing a much broader base of US-listed companies—continues to struggle to break above its high from last year, even though the others have far surpassed it. In fact, it has since corrected by 9.5% since its all-time high just last month. After that, the other indices are also following suit only in the past few days, breaking below this uptrend that started in April.

Zigzag Structure in Russell (RTY) Nears Resolution Around 2300The short-term Elliott Wave outlook for the Russell 2000 Index (RTY) indicates that the decline from the October 25, 2025 peak is unfolding as a zigzag corrective structure. From that high, wave 1 concluded at 2473.9, followed by a corrective rally in wave 2 that terminated at 2517.2. The Index then extended lower in wave 3, reaching 2419.6. A brief recovery in wave 4 ended at 2483.4, while the final leg, wave 5, completed at 2386.6. This sequence marked the completion of wave (A) at a higher degree. Subsequently, the Index corrected higher in wave (B), which concluded at 2486.67, as illustrated in the accompanying one-hour chart. From that point, the Index has resumed its descent in wave (C), which is unfolding internally as a five-wave diagonal. Within this structure, wave 1 ended at 2353.8, and the corrective rally in wave 2 peaked at 2409.1. Wave 3 then declined to 2321.9, followed by a modest rebound in wave 4 to 2371.6. The Index is expected to extend lower in wave 5, thereby completing wave (C) of ((4)). The projected downside target lies within the 100%–161.8% Fibonacci extension range from the October 27 peak, spanning 2316.3 to 2307.4. In the near term, as long as the pivot high at 2486.6 remains intact, any rally is anticipated to fail in three, seven, or eleven swings, paving the way for further downside pressure.

RTY Box LevelsI've taken some time to chart the Russell 200, and I have to say the box is looking quite excellent. Nice and clean levels, makes a fella wanna put a bid in. I am not used to trading this name(literally traded it the first time on Monday), but it seems like a good time so far. I'll be on the look out for LBAFs and LAAFs, no directional bias just trading what is seen atm. If a look below and fail occurs and is sustained at the upper box, then it is objectively a long (especially if we trade lower first w/a failure to go lower), otherwise if we trade through the level w/ continuation or trade higher first and fail, then a LAAF would take us within the middle box's range. Trading higher first and failing is more bearish than trading lower first. Trading lower first and failing to go lower is more bullish than trading higher first. I like to keep these concepts in mind as I wait for the opening and initial balance ranges to form intraday, and from there, I can form an opinion and initiate a trade.

RTY UpdateWell, my arrow was right, but I didn't anticipate the algo pump before the Fed. The algos seem confused now because their pump and dump didn't work thanks to Powell. Not sure if they complete the dump tomorrow or if they try to pump it back up for trade news Thu night. Or Maybe both, lol. Dump it until RSI and MFI hit oversold, then pump it back up, lol. We've seen that before. In any case, RTY moving off hours for the first time in a while. Kinda strange they would try to do the China trade pump with small caps again considering the market sold of the pump in one day last time (Monday).

When Generals Run and Soldiers Nap — The Market’s Odd ParadeEver seen an army march where the generals sprint ahead, but the soldiers just yawn and stay behind? That’s exactly what’s happening in the U.S. futures battlefield right now. The ES, NQ, and YM — our large-cap “generals” — opened the week above their prior highs, looking ready for victory speeches. But the RTY, representing small caps, is still lagging like it hit the snooze button. The Breadth Problem Healthy rallies need everyone on board. When small caps don’t join the charge, it’s like running a marathon with only one leg — you might move forward, but not for long. That’s why this gap between the big guys and the small ones is called bearish divergence — momentum without muscle. How Deep Could It Go? Under the surface, liquidity pockets (UFO supports) show the “landing zones” below price: ES: ~5% lower NQ: ~6% lower YM: ~9% lower RTY: ~14% lower (!) Translation: if the market trips, the generals may bruise a knee — but the soldiers could roll down the hill. Tick, Margin, and Scale CME index futures come in two flavors — E-minis for the pros, Micro E-minis for precision control: S&P 500 (ES/MES): tick 0.25 → $12.50 / $1.25; margin ≈ $21K / $2.1K Nasdaq 100 (NQ/MNQ): tick 0.25 → $5 / $0.50; margin ≈ $30K / $3K Dow Jones (YM/MYM): tick 1 → $5 / $0.50; margin ≈ $13K / $1.3K Russell 2000 (RTY/M2K): tick 0.10 → $5 / $0.50; margin ≈ $9K / $0.9K (Approximate numbers, educational only.) The Lesson Breadth divergences don’t “predict” the end of the rally — they just whisper: “Careful, this parade’s out of sync.” So before chasing the next breakout, remember: even the best generals can’t win a war if their soldiers stay in camp.

RUSS 2K....GOING WHICH WAY? HMMM CME_MINI:M2K1! Bias-Bearish HOWEVER! Price is hitting some key areas and will show us whether it continues or dumps to key levels. PP-2522-2514 are fib zones in a FVG so price could most def push higher to the S.O.B above (which is what a majority of signs show). However my personal belief with all the negative news I believe we will have this week, price will take some of these lows out and find a B.O.B below. Thats a theory but like always we let price tell us the true trend and direction! Now what is your theory for this week? Either way, WE'RE GOING TO GET PAID!
