RUT Russell Small CapsSmall caps have not been as enthusiastic about the rally as tech and SPX in the run up since March. We see that it's been making lower lows and lower highs since August 11 peak, and RSI has been showing continuing weakness on the daily chart. If SPX is going to have a meaningful sustainable rally, it's going to need the small caps and financial sector to follow suit. This has not been the case.

September 13 Market Update | Technical, Fundamental, NewsDescription:
An analysis for the week ahead.
Points of Interest:
Dull Participation; Poor Structure On Both Sides; Strong Names Break Trend.
Technical:
Broad-market equity indices ended the week lower with the S&P 500 correcting to $3,300.
Recapping last week’s action, on Tuesday, alongside Brexit news, on a second attempt, the S&P 500 broke through the $3,400 low-volume area, suggesting directional conviction changed. After spending much of the day trading neutral, the S&P extended lower, in-line with delta and away from value.
On news of AstraZeneca plc's (NYSE: AZN) suspended COVID-19 trial, selling continued overnight into a base of liquidity in the $3,290 region before buyers regained control and one-time framed the market higher, to and through prior value and the low-volume area broken the day prior.
On Thursday’s economic data, the S&P 500 liquidated after non-convicted buyers failed to take out the prior day's low-excess high. Selling intensified as the market ate into prior low-volume, before closing off on a weak low, in-line with the prior day's cash-session low. After tech shares led an overnight rally up to some low-volume areas from the prior day's session, machine-like selling appeared and pushed the market through the weak low’s, before buyer's regained strength to finish Friday off in-range.
Overall, the recent mechanical activity to and from key technical levels denotes the non-presence of larger other time frame (OTF) participants and conviction. Heavily weighted index constituents are breaking trend while the broad market’s failure to extend much lower into the poor structure below it, coupled with reduced volatility pressures, suggests immediate downside may be limited. As a result, it’s time to temper expectations and look to reposition in line with emerging macro-economic and geopolitical themes.

Fundamental:
ARK Invest analyst Sam Korus suggested that the risks to auto loans, the securities supporting them, and underlying collateral may threaten the entire auto ecosystem.
“The percent of auto loans delinquent by 90 days or more has been rising for almost four years and is approaching levels last seen during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2009, as shown below. During the GFC, most consumers and businesses prioritized the servicing of auto loans over their mortgages because, in the absence of ride-hailing, they relied on vehicles to keep their jobs and businesses going. Now working from home, they seem to be prioritizing mortgages and home equity (HE) loans over auto and credit card debt.”
Korus also noted delinquencies may double while the underlying collateral will likely see a depression in residual value due to the mobility revolution. As a result, consumers, lenders, dealerships, and auto manufacturers may suffer financial damage as secular risks rebound in the tail-end of the COVID-19 recovery.

ridethepig | Small Caps Breaking DownA timely update to the Russell 2000 after running into sellers at the 1600 resistance which was previously support. Small caps have seen a huge uptick in selling interest and momentum is starting to kick in.
Buyers giving up the diagonal support is opening up a world of trouble and asking for sellers to apply more pressure. The V shapers and naysayers that its not different this time will continue with the necessary text, the question is whether real money decides to step in and stop the bleeding. After losing support the next key level in play is 1350, and a deeper extension towards 1,175.
Thanks as usual for keeping the feedback coming 👍or 👎
RTY - Possible Downward Channel Forming 9/12/2020RTY at the daily view.
It seems that the RTY is stuck between an upward channel and a downward channel. Since liquidity levels are dropping pretty fast, that downward channel is starting to become more legitimate.
If so, there is a gap at 1419 that has yet to be filled. Algorithms and the selloff can head over there pretty fast. Since liquidity is back going downwards, it seems RTY is going to back as my favorite short target again.
Unlike the NQ, RTY is a little more predictable in its bigger levels. That's what I like about this index.
$RUT Small CapsQuick look at the small caps - RUT hasn't been as enthusiastic as the SPX and the Nasdaq. We see that, while it's had its own run since the March bounce, this upward trend line has been broken below in the past few sessions. Next major support is 1450 area. As i've mentioned in my previous post, look to small caps and financials to act as a drag to any bull rallies in the SPX and tech. For the time being, technical indicators doesn't seem to support a bounce or a rally in small caps.
LONG IWMNice little bullish triangle setting up, between the daily trend line from April that has been tested 4 times, as well as this nice little consolidation that's occurred makes a nice setup for either LT entry if you've missed the boat and want to get in, or a nice quick trade with stop at 153.60 (local absolute low) with a PT of the high of consolidation of 160.
RIDE THE RUSSELL!! Our Favorite This Year!Hello Traders,
IWM (Russell2000) has been one of our FAVORITE trades this year. We've participate on every major rally we saw. Those nice 6-10% overnight hold trades.
We're waiting for the Russell and the Dow to join other indexes towards the ATH breakout levels.
Let's go straight to the chart.
2 important levels:
1. $153-154 major breakout support
2. $148-$150 previous breakout support
These 2 levels put us in a nice buying support range.
Although we don't see it on this chart the Russell2000 (CFD) is currently up 1.2% (9/7/20 12:20 PM EST). A daily candle close above the $1541 level would put us right back on the bullish zone.
Watch for a potential gap up on the Russell going into Tuesday trading session.
RIDE THE RUSSELL!
*NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE, THIS IS JUST OUR PERSPECTIVE AND WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY TRADES WE PUBLISH ON OUR CHANNEL. YOU WILL LOSE MONEY.

S&P vs Russell 2000Hello traders and analysts,
Here is our take on the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 Small Cap.
It is important here is to note; that the peak of the hull for SPX has hit our island zone where price has shown a full retracement in the V shaped recovery and extended a little to provide great returns for long investors and over offered market conditions.
The cycle to us looks complete.
Note: This zone now between 3600 - 3400 is a strong supply but has potential to retest 3700 for the full Fibonacci extension.
however the signs with the volatility index and yields are now showing signs of clusters of building a nice level of discounted levels.
Where as the SPX, NAS and world indices are seeing over exposed with a strong imbalance.
Now we let the price and market show us where opportunities present itself to look for shorts.
Enjoy.
Fore more sub text - read below;
Technicals:
1. Looking back to 2000, 2008 - the dotcom, financial banking crisis and now 'Covid' - we can see a nice megaphone pattern which has emerged looking back since February 2018.
We have completed the the downward impulse of the wave pattern 1-5, with all waves forming without breaking the structure.
we are now in the minor wave 2 structure. and next up is the 5 wave corrective structure and looking to complete wave on the trendline .
2. From an imbalance method, we have a good double top retest which is showing profit and greed taking helped on from the Fed and using Fibonacci extension - price can over shoot to create an upper supply zone .
Price has seen a bounce back to 'normal priced of demand' however this is not really how halted economies can return so fast. it is artificial.
Divergence - we did not use this but looking at the pattern, we have a huge distinguishing gap. However this keeps widening - whilst we do not look at the divergence indicator, it does show a good area for sells - and according to RSI - we are not there yet technically speaking 80 zone is a major sell.
3. Looking at the VIX - the dollar is weakening to a 90-91 lows - however the buying of this at the lows will produce huge rewards. Check out or Vix for long inverse
4. Looking at Russell and SPY has the gap to fill to $340.00 per share , is this sustainable growth which is being propped up - with earnings quarter now in play, we will see those numbers finally provide profit targets either severely missed or the few will beat earnings .
Fundamentals:
US election rallies before taking place at the end of the year with campaigning - enter volatility state
We have NFP numbers showing millions return to work.. but also high unemployment still looming.
Trade war with China, Hong Kong unfolding with US responding - constantly..
High figures in multiple states which are concerns for large communities- record numbers still being released
Fiscal intervention in July, August for stimulus.. constant printing money is not good for the economy.
US tech stocks have seen the highest returns and zero confirmation by Dow30 and S&P following suit. - will this last? no.. billionaires just adding wealth, SME businesses not receiving the correct funding at all..
Dow 30 is in a fragile state and desperate to keep pushing higher but limited upside will cause a steep decline - refer to Dow chart.. around 28,500 is a good point for a previous monthly high but it may fall over at 28000 tops. - this is now being challenged
Crippling 1trillion money printing exercise to be released to prop up false growth. enter sovereign debt crisis

August 22 Market Update | Technical, Fundamental, NewsDescription:
An analysis for the week ahead.
Points of Interest:
Minimal Excess; Non-Separation Of Value; Untested POCs; Gaps
Technical:
Broad-market equity indices ended the week mixed with the S&P 500 recovering its all-time high on relative strength from the technology sector.
Recapping last week’s action, Monday’s higher open on earnings and stimulus talks was followed by a balanced, low-volume session which migrated value to the top of prior balance. The market caught up to Monday’s delta, edging higher overnight on better than expected retail earnings, before liquidating, making a V-shape recovery, and resolving some resting liquidity at and above the $3,390 area.
On Wednesday, after the Federal Reserve signaled signs of a difficult recovery, the market left value behind on a spike which repaired some weak structure in the $3,350 region. Responsive buyers quashed Wednesday’s weak-handed initiative activity, driving prices higher into Friday’s monthly options expiration, albeit with minimal participation from the broader market.
Overall, the week ended in balance, again. In light of dull participation and poor structure on both sides of the market, attention has to be shifted to other stimuli, such as the cessation of trend in heavily weighted index constituents and decreased dealer hedging flows, among other things.
If momentum was to grow faint, there’s the potential for a fast-moving correction of the poor structure left behind by the recent anxiety-driven activity. Still, the path of least resistance is up.

RTY's Bull Flag Pt 2 8/18/2020RTY at the daily view.
The Russell is still bull flagging. It's quite obvious by now. The downward movement is sometimes called "correction by time."
A correction by time is not actually bearish. It means the Russell is consolidating for another move up. Unless the bears take the RTY down to the bottom of that flag pole, it's still bullish. The bears had a chance all this time to take it down. They didn't... yet.
Liquidity levels are high enough to go scuba diving in. The chances of bears taking this below the flag pole? You might as well take a shot at the lottery.
The most likely course of action is that a further pullback will just gather more buyers below - like me. If not, then the bull flag may bring the Russell even higher.
Elliott Wave View: Support Area for Russell 2000 (RTY)Elliott Wave View of Russell 2000 (RTY) suggests the rally from July 31,2020 low has ended at 1605.70 high as wave 3. Up from July 30 low, wave ((i)) ended at 1482.60 high and wave ((ii)) dips ended at 1467.80 low. Index then extended higher in wave ((iii)) towards 1552.60 high. The internal subdivision of wave ((iii)) unfolded as 5 waves impulse Elliott Wave Structure. Wave (i) of ((iii)) ended at 1510.60 high and wave (ii) pullback ended at 1493.70 low. Rally higher in wave (iii) then ended at 1551.60 high, followed by wave (iv) pullback, which ended at 1543.40 low. Wave (v) then extended higher and ended at 1552.60 high.
Afterwards, the Index did a pullback in wave ((iv)), which ended at 1534.20 low. Finally, wave ((v)) higher ended at 1605.70 high. This final move completed wave 3 in higher degree and ended cycle from July 31 low. Index is currently correcting that cycle within wave 4. The correction is unfolding as a double three correction, where wave ((w)) has ended at 1560.90 low. The bounce in wave ((x)) ended at 1589.60 high. Wave ((y)) remains in progress right now. As long as 1451.10 low stays intact, expect the dips in 3,7 or 11 swings to find support for more upside. The 100-161.8% extension of wave ((w))-((x)) where ((y)) can end is at 1516.76-1544.71 area and is shown with a blue box. That area if reached later can produce 3 waves bounce at least.
