Russell 2000 - Please Stop Buying ItPick any path you want, none look appealing from a bull's perspective. I created this chart today because I found incomprehensible that the Russell tape kept getting bought aggressively into today's close. Forget about the fact that this index has tested the lows of this triangular range (black date range above) several times, but what is more troubling is that these are small-cap companies trading at what used to be Blue Chip prices, like a year ago. Small caps should be respected for their bearishness; they are the first to get punched when the indices agree downward and they are also the hardest to get punched. This makes sense because smaller companies are less likely to maintain operations during times of economic hardship due to a number of logical cash-flow-related items. Thus, while it hasn't been made abundantly clear by the media or US politicians yet (Europe is less delusional) that the economy is doing not-so-great, I find it ridiculous that the only index to get aggresively bought during this intensely bearish afternoon session was the Russell 2k. This is a testament to how little people fear markets these days, or rather, it is that they have only experienced this 2020 rally and do not care/were not alive during the year 2008. The type of fear that has been omnipresent since January 2021 is that of FOMO. Typically, when people are fearful of transient, bearish price action, the natural reaction is to panic-sell. Well, it's now clear that we have entered a new age where it is human nature to panic buy the riskiest assets when markets show bearishness. I only kid, of course - there is no actual no new age of anything. In fact, I'd imagine that it'll only take the first near-term apolcalyptic selloff to reprogram the market masses. All I ask is that you not be long the Russell at times where it makes more sense to be long just about anything unrelated to stocks. -Apigolyptic Selloff 2k21 AMEX:IWM RUSSELL:RUT GLOBALPRIME:US2000 TSE:SMALL500 BMFBOVESPA:SMLL SPCFD:SPX NASDAQ:IXIC DJCFD:DJI CURRENCYCOM:US500 CURRENCYCOM:US100 CURRENCYCOM:US30 CBOE:RVX

Market Crash road mapIf you are shorting the market which sounds wise at this time, be careful of corrections. When you are in the Bearish market, any upward moves could be a correction and could last for weeks! 2008 Market Crash Example: 2000 Market Crash Example: The same rule applies to Russell 200, S&P 500, and Dow Jones, But Tech stocks, small caps, companies without revenue, and profitability are the most vulnerable and may lose 90% of their market cap! like most EV makers with a 50-70% decrease in their market cap so far! sit on cash and having some leveraged Inverse ETF could be a good plan..!

My favorite color is RED..!I prepared all my followers for this and convinced them to sit on Cash, Buy inverse ETFs, and Short The market..! My followers are the happiest traders today. and I am happy to see their smiles on the worst days of the market..! Those who have early access to my trading ideas have the chance to perform better. Don't you believe it? Check my recently private post: I have lots of technical and fundamental reasons that this correction will be different and is going to be more than 10%, you will see the technical reasons in my charts. Let’s review the fundamentals: 1- The most important factor is limiting margin for hedge funds by banks, after Archegos capital management phenomenon..! 2- The Buffett Indicator was at elevated levels before the dotcom crash of 2000 to 2002, and before the financial crisis of 2008, but at respective values of 137% and 105%, lower than today's reading of 157%.(Stansberry research) 3- Americans are now holding more money in stocks than ever before... and that includes the peak of the dot-com bubble. The data is from JPMorgan Chase and the Federal Reserve. It includes any stock that folks may hold in 401(k) accounts as well. Right now, 41% of our financial assets are allocated to stocks. Again, that's higher than the dot-com peak of 37%. 4- Constant money out flux since early 2021 which decreases the trading value in more than 95% of stocks! 5-Margin debt stands at $822 billion – an increase of more than 25% since September of last year.(Stansberry research) Conclusion: Any factor that limits new money influx will have negative effects on markets, and Bubbles always burst when they have their biggest size! To protect your capital: *Use tight stop loss even for your long-term investments. ** Hedge your positions using inverse ETFs like SQQQ, SPXU,… *** Always accept the loss when it is small, if it becomes bigger it will become harder to accept!

What's the Russell 2000 telling us ? Hi there. Beginning trader and technical analyst who received my education from TRi school of trader development. *My charts are not financial and/or trade advice and are posted for entertainment purposes. Another day with head buried in charts. If there are any small cap, bottom hunters like me who have been in there hunting things that seem like they aren't going to stop going down or have finally found a bottom, then you may have been wondering when things might turn, and we begin seeing our portfolios going back up, and we can more aggressively hunt favorable long entries that show indication of stabilization and turning to add to our position. Well if this chart is any indication I'm starting to think the time may be soon. I'm starting to see some double bottoms coming in on price and indicators, granted it is as the top of price action. It does look like price action has broken out of a potential Head and Shoulder Pattern and will be invalidated at the areas noted in chart. Some fundamental considerations: Inflation fears particularly impact small caps and their cost in production. Possibly, there is a momentary pause on new money coming in from recent retail investors who have entered small cap positions in the past on the hype and Robinhood usability. Perhaps their retail money has been temporarily redirected to a more enthusiastic and euphoric crypto market? It will be interesting to keep an eye on the Russell to see if any sharp down turns-or more euphoria- in that space impact the 2000's trend. Appreciate sharing of different perspectives on my analysis or sharing of your own. Thanks for stopping by. Happy hunting. RUSSELL:RUT

DJIA/Gold Ratio & 30-year Bonds/Russell2000 in Phase Transition!The Dow Jones (IA) / Gold Ratio and the U.S. 30-year Treasury Bonds / Russell2000 Index Ratio are coinciding at key levels. Both ratios are at historic turning points, foreshadowing their respective Phase Transitions! (and as such, indicating highly volatile, multi-standard deviation moves in the global equity indexes.) The title chart is an extended (120 years) view of the ongoing DJIA / Gold analysis, this time applying the same metric as used in the earlier US 30-year Treasuries / Russell2000 Ratio analysis; ... For easy comparisons. U.S. Market Capitalization / U.S. GDP now having exceeded 2.75 while the Historic Norm (not the low) remains 0.78 - i.e. ~70% below current levels(!!) - , it is rather self-evident that these phase transitions are likely to result in major (equity) market declines, and on a global scale. U.S. Margin Debt / U.S. GDP has also surpassed all previous, historic records (by a very wide margin!), not only in nominal measures but also in relative terms! I.e. Once this trap door opens (forced liquidations??... The most likely, least resistance path, catalyst) an initial 20%-25% decline in the SP500 would be well within the minimum expected.

CAUTION It's pretty common for BTC to have 20-30% corrections in a bull market and has been doing phenomenal with coinciding with previous run-ups. I believe this is the 4th or 5th correction to this magnitude. Things look pretty swell from where we came from this year and last and hope it can continue. We just had a crossing on the weekly MACD and things are looking ripe for maybe another push higher. RSI on the monthly cart is also declining from overbought territory. There was a similar run up and fall in price action and when BTC futures started trading on CME compared to the COIN listing recently. Regardless if you are HODLING forever or just trying to make quick movements in the price action of shitcoins it looks like we are taking a breather and could be something other than a correction. I'm remaining on the cautious side with everything else thats developing across world markets and in the US. That's all folks

Russel Mark-up.I think it is short in the near future, but long overall. I saw a similar thing happen last week Sunday. Rally hard to close week, big selloff to start new week, then a full week of rallying. I don't see anything that's changed. Long term I think Russel is looking bullish. I feel like it's a little extended at the moment, so I think we should expect some correction. Retail traders, I don't know where you could possibly get in as a buy unless price goes way down from current locality. .382 saw a lot of activity. Maybe price will revisit, but bullishness is the attitude currently. Short sellers, I see some big juicy demand zones, but understand you are selling against the dominant momentum. If we want to play the return to the closer trendline it's almost a 30 point drop down. Also, Russel is currently resting in a divergent/oversold state. Very tempting. My risk manager is keeping me out of placing any orders, but I am trying to get in the habit of marking up charts over the weekend and seeing how the prophecies unfold. If I were persuaded to go short I'd put my stop above the high wick. Realistically, I would have to see how the markets open and then play it from there. I hate to miss out on a market opening rally. That is my biggest source of FOMO. I did not like making this.
