Fear of COVID in the market or ..?Since July 5th, 2021, there is a change in the pattern of new Confirmed covid cases in the US, because of the delta variant.
From a statistical point of view, there is a significant negative correlation between the Nasdaq composite and the number of covid cases in the US, in the past month.
The difference is :
49% of the population are fully vaccinated and 56% received at least one dose!
However, we can not deny the fact that could be a trigger for a correction in the markets!
Dangerous Situation in small caps!Hourly Chart: Top Swing
Daily Chart: Right at the support level. (possible price action for few days)
Weekly Chart: close at the lowest level since February
Monthly Chart: -6.38% since the beginning of July, the Worst performance since March 2020..!
Conclusion: This correction could slip to a bearish market..! Risk is high..!
Russell 2000: Bottom is in. Resting on two key supports.IWM is sitting at the confluence of a 6-month support trend line and a 16-month support trend line. Daily RSI is at its lowest level since March 24, just one day after the stock market bottomed following the corona virus crash. Primed for a bounce.
Why Small caps are at higher Risk!history tends to repeat itself..! and what has happened in the past has a higher chance of happing in the future!
March 2009 - Sep 2011:
Oct 2011- Jan 2016:
Feb 2016 - Dec2018
I will wait for the reaction to the trend line! closure below the trend line could bring a 20% further correction!

S&P500 - About time for a proper retracement??Am just looking at my panel of leading indicators, and besides the S&P500 ES1! daily chart looking a bit stalled with MACD turning down, the Russell2000, DJ Transports and Value Geometric Index are already leading down. Key levels to breakdown are in red circles.
Some others like the High Yield Bonds and TIPS are still holding; while the Treasury Bonds are being snapped up (Risk Off mode)
Volatility is low, waiting for a breakout.
Looks like a storm is brewing...
RUSSEL 2000 - Bullish formationI´m bullish for the small caps:) The market reached a logical target in the corrective movement. Now i´m looking forward to a bullish impulse to the upside. The scenario remains intact for the time being as long as the market stays above 2214.3. Below that level would be a bearish invalidation. As long as the market remains within this sideways range, everything is fine. Wave 2 would have even more room to correct. So my thesis is that the small caps are starting a small rally once again. That would also correlate with my general assessment of the market.
