Just admit that gold is at resistance and bearish!Just admit that gold is at resistance and bearish!
The chart speaks for its self.
The Russell 2000 ETF continues to deliver critical technical and longer-term price patterns for skilled technicians. Combining the IWM chart with the Transportation Index, Oil, Gold, and others provide a very clear picture of what to expect in the immediate future.
Recently, we posted a research article about the Head-n-Shoulders pattern setting up in the $INDU. Again, the IWM chart is also showing a very clear Head-n-Shoulders pattern with critical resistance near $159.50 and support near $144.25. Our researchers, at Technical Traders Ltd., believe this right Shoulder will prompt a downside market move towards support near $144.25 before a downward sloping wedge pattern sets up. This first downward price leg will setup and congesting wedge formation that will, eventually, break to the upside and drive market prices higher.

Skilled traders watch all the charts to assist them in identifying characteristics that can assist them in understanding price moves, key support/resistance levels, and price patterns. This IWM chart should be on everyone’s radar at the moment. Where the IWM finds support, so will the other US stock market indexes.
The IWM setup indicates we may only see a 5~7% downside price swing before support is found. We’ll have to watch how this plays out over the next few weeks/months to determine if the $144.25 level is true support or if the lower $137.00 level will become support. Either way, the downside price swing appears poised to unfold over the next few days/weeks – so be prepared.

RUT moves down as expected and is not ready for bottoming yetOn a micro level Russell needs five waves down off the top made at 3 PM last Friday. So far it reached the bottoming area for the micro wave ( iii ) down.
That means that after corrective a-b-c shaped move up it will continue moving down in direction of the green target box
Russell - decline into 1,470 may complete the correction The decline off the January 2018 low is shaped as ABC.
We are in the final leg C down.
The drop to 1,470 area may complete all of the Wave C down and consequently the whole correction off the top in January 2018.
Or it could be just the wave ( iii ) of that wave C. That scenario would imply a corrective pullback up in the wave ( iv ) up and then another drop to new lows in the wave ( v ) of C.
