RUSSELL Will it correct this time also?Russell 2000 (RUT) has been trading within a Channel Up since late April and right now its current Bullish Leg is about to test the pattern's top (Higher Highs trend-line).
It has completed a +9.01% rise from the August 20 Low, which is the same increase of the previous (August 01 - 13) Bullish Leg and that has been the 'weakest' one out of all Legs of the Channel Up (+11.07%, +10.93% and +10.33% the others).
As a result, we can start thinking about taking profits on this run and an upcoming new pull-back (red Bearish Leg/ Channel Down) within a Sell Zone that extends up to +11.07% (2500).
Within this Zone, any rejection we get, we are targeting 2380, which is the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level applied on the minimum +9.01% rally.

US2000 trade ideas
Can the Russell 2000 break its all-time high?The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) pivoted this week and confirmed a more accommodative monetary trajectory for the last quarter of 2025. The federal funds rate is expected to be cut two more times, for a total of three cuts across the September, October, and December meetings.
Small businesses are highly sensitive to financing conditions, and lower funding costs are a driver of investment and growth for this category of companies. Under these conditions, can the Russell 2000 — the U.S. small-cap equity index — reach a new all-time high by the end of 2025?
1. The Russell 2000 represents the dynamics of small business activity in the U.S. stock market
The Russell 2000 holds a special place in the American equity universe as it brings together around 2,000 small-cap companies. Unlike the S&P 500, which includes the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. firms, the Russell 2000 reflects more the dynamics of domestic companies, less exposed internationally and often more sensitive to domestic economic conditions, particularly interest rates and U.S. consumption. Given their smaller size, these firms generally have fewer financial resources, making them more vulnerable to economic cycles, but also more agile and able to post rapid growth when the environment is favorable, especially in periods of falling interest rates.
2. There will be a total of three federal funds rate cuts by the end of 2025
Jerome Powell’s Fed has thus confirmed a true monetary pivot to take into account the slowdown in the labor market, while remaining cautious about the upcoming normalization of inflation. The more accommodative monetary trajectory announced should be supportive for risk assets in the stock market, but upcoming U.S. employment and inflation updates will still have a strong impact.
Federal funds rate cycle through the end of 2025: there should therefore be a total of 3 rate cuts by year-end according to the CME Fed Watch Tool shown below.
3. From a technical analysis perspective, the Russell 2000 is testing its all-time high set in November 2021
The upward trend in the Russell 2000 over the past several months signals that investors are anticipating better conditions for U.S. small businesses, directly linked to the decline in the federal funds rate. In the short term, the Russell 2000 may pause as it tests its all-time high, but this resistance could be broken this fall thanks to the Fed’s monetary easing.

Nasdaq Becoming the New Gold? The AI Boom and Market RotationSince 2020, the Nasdaq has completely pulled away from the pack. Compared to the S&P 500, Russell 2000, the dollar, and even gold, it’s been the clear leader — fueled by the AI boom and the massive flows into tech giants like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Meta. While gold used to be the classic safe haven, lately it feels like investors see the Nasdaq as their new store of value.
The twist, of course, is that gold doesn’t need earnings to shine, but the Nasdaq does. As long as the AI narrative keeps delivering, it could keep playing this “new gold” role. But if that story cracks, the downside will look very different than a sideways-moving metal.
US2000 H4 | Continuation of bullish momentumBased on the H4 chart analysis, we could see the price fall to the buy entry at 2,419.82, which is a pullback support that is slightly above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement and could bounce from this level to our take profit.
Stop loss is at 2,373.86, which is a pullback support.
Take profit is at 2,489.87, which is a swing high resistance.

Russell 2000 Year-End Price Target and Technical Rebound OutlookIf you ahven`t bought the Double Bottom on RUT 2K:
Now the Russell 2000 Index (RUT), which tracks small-cap stocks, has recently entered oversold territory, signaling that a potential technical rebound could be on the horizon. Oversold conditions typically occur when selling pressure becomes excessive, driving the index below its fundamental value and creating an opportunity for a corrective bounce.
Several technical indicators, including the Relative Strength Index (RSI), have fallen below the 30 level — a classic oversold signal. Historically, similar setups have led to strong short-term recoveries as buying interest returns once the selling momentum exhausts itself.
Additionally, market breadth indicators suggest that the recent pullback has been broad-based, with a high percentage of RUT 2K components trading below their 50-day and 200-day moving averages. This type of widespread weakness often precedes a period of mean reversion, where prices bounce back toward key resistance levels.
Given these technical signals, my price target for RUT 2K is $2,450 by the end of the year. A rebound toward this level would represent a recovery of approximately 10-12% from current levels, aligning with previous post-oversold rallies in the index. If broader market sentiment stabilizes and small caps benefit from improving economic conditions or easing rate hike pressures, the path toward this target becomes increasingly plausible.
While downside risks remain — including ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions — the technical setup suggests that RUT 2K is primed for a recovery in the coming months.
RUT vs SPX - A clear mirror of the 2000 Dot Com CrashTechnicals:
Here we compare the SPX in pink to the RUT in blue. You can see the last time the SPX overtook the RUT was in 1998-2002, if history repeats this puts us squarely in the late 1998. Unlike 1998, we see the RUT has made a higher high after it's V-shaped recovery which looks more promising for it this time around. We could have an everything bubble forming here as money supply inflation and speculation trickle down into smaller companies and people look to diversify outside of the already booming precious metals, crypto, and SPX markets. So far the market has not had a lot of breadth, but it's starting to diversify
Fundamentals:
Looking at the companies that form the RUT, I was surprised to learn that larger ones like AMD are in there. Other notables include utility and the health care which were hit hard earlier this year. Now that there is rotation out of some tech into these 2 sectors I think we may see the RUT really start to perform, but... is it worth buying?
Well the fact is, in this 38 year chart history the RUT has outperformed the SPX for 26 years. The RUT's longest run outperforming the SPX was following the 2000 crash, bottoming in 2002 before surpassing the SPX in 2003-2020. Personally, I'll be looking into this index in 2028/2029
3 times a lady! Knock knock knocking on heavens door ...Bearish on the Russel
looks kind of toppy to me
love that if it goes back to the bottom of the range if so it falls 31.2% a fib number
Not advice - just for educational purposes
Oh there are next to no bears left out there out in the cold just feels like me!
you will need to count 5 small impulse waves down from this level before you could justify putting on shorts unless you are bit early as bull blow off moves go further than anyone of our time can know
Look for volume to pick up on down days
Surprises come to the downside if the market turns bearish
if it moves roughly 32% down then there should be some nice bear equities in that index to feast short on as more bears come out of hibernation, and they will be very hungry!
However the counter side is that companies have put in their best profits in for like the past 25 years so don't rule out bull continuation.
New Risks Require Policy Adjustment – Fed Rate Cut as ExpectedNew Risks Require Policy Adjustment – Fed Rate Cut as Expected
On September 17, at the conclusion of the FOMC meeting, the Fed lowered its policy rate by 25 bps, as expected, to a range of 4.0–4.25%. The decision was almost unanimous, with only one dissent: Stephen Miran, a new committee member appointed by D. Trump following the recent departure of Adriana Kugler, voted for a 50 bps cut. The post-meeting press release also noted that the Fed will continue reducing the size of its balance sheet, while risks to employment have increased. The committee emphasized that it remains attentive to risks on both sides of its dual mandate.
The Fed also released its September economic projections. The key change was a downward revision in the path of future rates: to 3.6% for 2025 and 3.4% for 2026. This confirmed the Fed’s readiness to cut rates again in October and December 2025 but also reflected caution toward further easing in 2026. Futures markets currently price in three cuts for 2026, while the Fed projects only one. Nevertheless, confirmation that the Fed is prepared to significantly lower rates in the near term is a positive signal.
The Fed’s GDP growth forecasts were raised to 1.6% for 2025 and 1.8% for 2026. Unemployment projections were little changed: 4.5% at the end of 2025 and 4.4% at the end of 2026. Core inflation, however, was revised up for 2026 to 2.6% y/y, while the 2025 forecast was left unchanged at 3.1% y/y. Market participants noted the inconsistency: rate cuts alongside stronger growth, stable unemployment, and higher inflation projections — an unusual situation for the Fed.
In his traditional post-meeting statement, Fed Chair J. Powell offered little new. His speech was cautious, filled with guarded and politically correct wording. In short: inflation has recently risen and remains elevated; risks to employment have increased. To balance these risks, the Fed decided to cut rates by 25 bps in September. The current labor market weakness is unusual, in part due to shrinking labor supply (linked to the deportation of illegal migrants). Goods inflation accelerated, but services inflation appears to remain in a disinflationary trend. The projected rate path was lowered by 25 bps, though Powell stressed this is not a preset plan or commitment.
Powell’s Q&A yielded more interesting insights:
He confirmed that current tariffs have partly shifted their impact onto the labor market by accelerating automation, rather than fueling inflation.
He stressed that the main reason for the rate cut was a reassessment of risks: earlier tilted toward inflation but now closer to balance, warranting policy adjustment.
He characterized the cut as a form of risk management, not a reaction to a sharp deterioration in the labor market.
Overall, the Fed is acting appropriately and is ready to respond quickly to changing conditions,
though inflation concerns remain a strong constraint. In our view, the Fed will cut rates twice more in 2025 — in October and December, by 25 bps each. Cuts in 2026 will depend heavily on inflation dynamics. The Fed’s projection of one cut in 2026 with core inflation at 2.6% reflects its conservative stance. We believe two cuts may be required in 2026, even if inflation is somewhat higher (around 2.9% y/y).
The start of the Fed’s easing cycle is a positive factor for equities, though inflation risks will clearly limit the pace of cuts. Much of this expectation is already priced in. Going forward, market dynamics will depend on how the economy responds: if lower rates support the labor market, boost consumer spending, and increase net hiring, this will be strongly positive for stocks. Conversely, if labor market reaction is weak but inflation ticks higher from the current 0.25–0.28% m/m pace in the core PCE deflator, markets may correct.
Looking at market expectations from two sources — the prediction market Polymarket and Fed funds futures — consensus points to continued easing at each of the next Fed meetings.
Polymarket data: October cut probability — 25 bps at 80%, 50 bps at 6%. December — 25
bps at 72%, 50 bps at 6%. Thus, Polymarket implies 86% and 78% odds of cuts in October
and December, respectively, or a 67% probability of two cuts by year-end.
Futures market: more dovish, pricing an 82.8% probability of two cuts by end-2025.
Freedom Broker’s base-case forecast aligns with market consensus: two cuts totaling 50 bps by year-end.
For equities, as the probability of two cuts nears 100%, the impact should be strongest for growthoriented, long-duration risk assets (small caps, fast-growing tech), as well as rate sensitive sectors outside the “growth” category (utilities, real estate). Still, since much of this is already priced in, a sharp rally in risk assets is unlikely.
On Wednesday, markets were subdued: the S&P 500 closed 0.1% lower, Nasdaq 100 fell 0.2%,
while the small-cap Russell 2000 gained 0.18%. In Thursday’s premarket (September 18),
sentiment is positive: S&P 500 futures +0.6%, Nasdaq +0.8%, Russell 2000 +1.0%.

PUT CREDIT SPREAD on RUT📈 Thesis: Bullish Momentum Strategy on RUT Using Neural RSI and ADX Pro
This strategy identifies long trade opportunities on the Russell 2000 (RUT) using two core indicators:
Simple Neural Network RSI: When this indicator is green, it signals bullish momentum. Green means go—whether it’s a breakout, reversal, or continuation.
ADX Pro: When rising, it confirms that the directional move is gaining strength.
🎯 Trade Setup
A long trade is initiated when:
The Neural RSI is green, indicating bullish momentum.
ADX Pro is rising, confirming trend strength.
📊 Metrics (Simple Compounding Model)
Trade Duration: 2 days
Spread Width: $5
Net Credit: $47
Capital at Risk: $500
ROI per Trade: 9.4%
One of the most consistent ways to generate income in options trading is by selling premium in high-probability environments. That means structuring trades where the odds are tilted in your favor—not by prediction, but by placement.
When you position short strikes outside the expected move, you're essentially betting that price will stay within its statistically forecasted range. It’s not about being right—it’s about being on the right side of probability.
Pair that with short durations—like 2-day trades—and you’re working with accelerated time decay. A 9% return in that window might seem small, but when repeated with discipline, it adds up quickly. The key is keeping risk defined, staying mechanical, and letting the math do the heavy lifting.
Premium collection isn’t flashy. It’s methodical. And when done right, it becomes a reliable engine for compounding gains while keeping exposure tight.
Breakout attempt by $RUSSELL. Can it do it? Supported by $DXYIn this blog space we have been watching the Cup and Handle pattern in the small cap index $RUSSELL. Back in July 15 we said that there is a major resistance @ 2400.
$RUSSEL: Completion of Cup and Handle formation or higher? for IG:RUSSELL by RabishankarBiswal — TradingView
But as we are near the top of the previous high and towards the end of the completion pattern of this major Cup and handle formation for almost 3 years, we must see which direction the index will resolve. For that we need to investigate US Dollar index $DXY.
We have been bearish on TVC:DXY with 95 as our short-term target. Currently @ 97 this 2% down movement can provide major boost to risk assets and $RUSSELL.
TVC:DXY : New lows begets new lows. ECONOMICS:USM2 : Why is it increasing? for TVC:DXY by RabishankarBiswal — TradingView
With major Fed decision coming next week and weakness by TVC:DXY we can say the path of least resistance for IG:RUSSELL is upwards and breaks above the major resistance in this cup and handle pattern.
Verdict: IG:RUSSELL can go higher if TVC:DXY goes lower and Fed cuts. Once above 2400 then we are in price discovery mode for $RUSSELL.
UPDATE: Russell 2000 moving well to the first target 2,506The market has been trending on a solid 45 degree angle since we did the first analysis on Russell2000.
And it seems like it will continue to tread higher.
So we will keep holding and waiting for our initial target at 2,506
Few reasons for the continued upside
📅 Rate cut hopes rising → Investors are increasingly betting the Fed will ease, which lowers borrowing costs for small firms and boosts margins.
🔄 Rotation away from megacaps → Big tech/growth has dominated; small-caps are getting some catch-up love as part of broader market breadth.
💵 Valuation gap → Russell 2000 stocks trade at a discount vs large caps, meaning potential for rerating if earnings improve.
🏭 Domestic economy sensitivity → Small caps tend to be more tied to US economic growth and consumer demand; so as US data holds up, they benefit more.

Russel 2000 | H4 Head and Shoulders | GTradingMethodHello Traders.
Welcome to today's trade idea by GTradingMethod.
🧐 Market Overview:
Since April 2025, this rally has been powering higher, leaving little room for pullbacks. But momentum is starting to show cracks — indicators are flashing signs of exhaustion. This doesn’t mean a sharp drop is guaranteed; markets often pause and drift sideways to shake off overbought pressure.
What I’m watching closely now is whether a head and shoulders pattern takes shape. If price steps into and closes in my entry zone, it could mark the start of a deeper pullback, but confirmation is key before jumping in.
📊 Trade Plan:
Risk/Reward: 3.9
Entry: 2,359.6
Stop Loss: 2,379.7
Take Profit 1 (50%): 2,292.9
Take Profit 2 (50%): 2,258.7
💡 GTradingMethod Tip:
Patience is a trading edge. Waiting for confirmation keeps you aligned with probability and protects you from unnecessary losses.
