$RUT - Short Term Long, Positive DivergenceWe have seen sharp sell-offs last week across the U.S. Indices, however, the Russell has been leading this sell-off as it started to break down much earlier.
What we can see now, is a possible exhaustion in the short-term and we could be due a bounce next week. One indication that is really pointing towards upside next week, is the positive divergence we have on the 2H chart. We see RSI making higher highs and the price making lower lows, this is giving me an indication that we could see a bounce next week.
Look for targets upto the 1613-1620 region.

Stock Market Update for 15th October 2018Good day trader, here we are ready to kick start another trading week. The retail sales data got released before markets opened in the US and seems softer because of the small negative; the market may interpret this positively given it mad slow some fed action.
Couple of nasty days last week and finished with a consolidated pattern, the Asian stocks put in a new low but we managed maintain our Friday predicted range, if we rewind to get perspective on our major indices we broke the trend line though we expected a retracement by touching the support and coming down to 25,000 points on the DOW which is a decent place to hold off and experience balance in the market.
The buying demand occurred at 25,972points before the breakout to the down, so for 15th October it probably will trade up to 26,000 points and if break up to the 26,500 points. This will be constrained at 26,000 points because the overnight distributed volume for the DOW is below the bulk of the transaction from the previous 2 trading days. However, of we have a break to the upside from the S&P 500, the DOW is likely alike.
S&P 500 came down to 2730 demand level below 2800 in a short order after breaking through 2800. On the S7P 500 we are not still at the previous corrective move from the crossing of the trend lines. Despite the magnitude of the selloff we are still not at the previous demand level of the previous sell off.
S&P 500 overnight volume occurred between 2740 points and 2770 points and the bands coming closer with a decent breakout. With the room above there is the possible sneak back up to 2842 and 2850 points with a tradable bounce and it is a smaller range than the NASDAQ. We need to be able to catch the momentum downwards if we cannot catch the trade up to 2842.
NASDAQ 100 is at a logical location to experience a possible balance but organisation like Microsoft have already started bouncing off from the lows likely around 5% while some have not caught up. The idea is we may be forming a bit of a logical reversal pattern; on the short term.
A similar overnight setup occurred with a more developed reversal in the NASDAQ 100. A resistance is at around 7,400.95 points in the short term with a possible buying pressure at 7204.67 points, this may be the high for 15th October in the NASDAQ 100 or can trade up to the 7400.95 at breakout.
Russell 2000 seems unhealthy because of the sell off and I may be taking a bearish positon for Russell because of the level of violation. The Russell touched the 200EMA and the trend lines violated increasingly. Market traded below the lower level of demand and seems weaker with the bears in control
We are experiencing weak dollar because of the retail sales number with a negative.
Conclusion
to action trades in these volatile times require traders to pay attention to the spread when trading especially options because they have widen. I will recommend traders to use the covered call strategies in this season of high or increase volatility.

It had been in an ascending channel for a long time but recently has been having difficulties producing higher highs. Our last was its first lower high. Its sitting on weak support currently as most things are.
This will be a good one to short as well.
Bearish divergence. And the Stoch is turning over and crossing at the mid point.

A major market correction expectedRussell 2000 index has been moving up in a sequence of five Elliott waves since 2009. This progress is coming to an end in a few months.
It has completed four of the five major waves on a monthly time frame (dark blue). The fifth wave that has been in progress since 2016 has already completed four of the five waves. It is currently going up in the fifth wave.
Interestingly, if you check the weekly chart below, the fifth wave is also nearing completion. It has completed four sub-waves (green) and is currently in the fifth sub-wave!
If you zoom in further and go to the daily time frame, the fifth sub-wave is currently in the second micro wave (turquoise). After the completion of the correction, this wave is going to extend to around 1800 level and then start the correction (see below).
The correction is expected to take Russell down to around 1300 levels (red waves).

S&P HIT 50% FIB TO DOWNSIDES&P 500 has hit a huge fibonacci level to go down lower. Coincidentally the other 3 major US indexes have hit a high to low 50 as well. The Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and Russel have also hit this level. There is a good chance this continues to the downside. In order for the markets to be bullish again the indexes would need to break above the 61.8 (red line) with strong momentum.

Russell 2000 USA lot is going on in here and a lot needs to be taken out to reach this bearish scenario to take place, but YES! it is possible and I am going in for this with stop at 1645/50. This needs at least 2 weeks bearish trend to play out for the price to reach 1460 Area or maybe just maybe if the markets get stretched than 2nd Quarter will be my target. The graph is self explanatory so i wont go into detail but Fingers Crossed. based on last 3 months action this does look attainable.
