Russell 2000: Signs of Topping as Macro Risks LoomRussell 2000 futures look sluggish heading into a week laden with macro risk events. Given the cyclical characteristics of the underlying index, any hint of weakness may amplify U.S. recession fears, increasing the risk of renewed downside for stocks. Sitting within what resembles a rising wedge and with a possible evening star pattern forming, the risk of a resumption of the broader bearish trend is arguably growing. While bearish momentum has weakened recently, the uptrend in RSI (14) and MACD also appears to be topping out. A break and close beneath 1917 would generate a setup where bearish positions could be established with a stop above the level for protection. The April 21 low of 1831 screens as a potential target. A break of that would open the door for a run towards the double bottom of 1712 set in early April. On the topside, a break and close above 1994.8 would invalidate the bearish bias. Good luck! DS

RTY Daily UpdateSmall caps got hit hardest by the tariffs, fell the most, went up the least today, and has the furthest to go to fill the futures gap and also the all time high (ATH). I think RTY (IWM ETF) will outperform ES/NQ (SPY/QQQ) the next 90 days as Trump unwinds all of the tariffs including the 10%. He'll more than likely repeal the China tariffs in the next week or so, which will be the next huge move up. Trump is gaming the market, just go long with stock or long dated calls.

Russell 2000: Squeeze Potential BuildsWith uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy about to be resolved and price signals turning bullish, the ingredients for a squeeze in Russell 2000 futures are now in place. Unlike other stock indices with far larger constituents, U.S. small caps have lagged this week’s rebound—potentially due to recession concerns, which wouldn’t help unprofitable cyclical firms tied to the broader economy. However, while fundamentals point to downside risks, recent price signals have been more constructive. Monday’s hammer candle formed after a reversal from known support. While Tuesday’s doji signaled indecision, it still closed slightly higher, with strong volumes going through. While signals like RSI (14) and MACD remain in negative territory, bearish momentum is starting to ebb, suggesting we may be in the early stages of a turn. Those considering bullish positions could look to establish entries above 1994.8 with a stop beneath for protection. Rallies over the past two sessions have fizzled around 2040, making that an initial focal point. If sellers there are overrun, it could encourage others to join the move, looking for a retest of horizontal resistance at 2132.5. Good luck! DS

Russell 2000 Futures: Bearish Reversal in Play?Russell 2000 futures may resume the bearish trend established earlier this year, trading below wedge support following the completion of an evening star reversal pattern on Wednesday. Shorts could be established on the break with a stop above the former uptrend for protection. Support may be encountered around 2050, although 1994.8 looms as a more appropriate target for those seeking greater risk-reward. RSI (14) has rolled over, while MACD remains negative despite grinding higher over the past fortnight, painting a picture of waning momentum that complements the bearish price signals. If RTY were to reclaim the former uptrend, the bearish setup would be invalidated. Good luck! DS

the last stop hunt?Well "they" have been messing with the price for a number of days now. They have ended a number of sessions on a bullish move only to sell all day. If we pump overnight and tomorrow I think we can reasonably assume that Thursday was a stop hunt before the move up. This is looking increasing more likely overnight. Don't feel like you missed the bottom, just get in while you can. I expect a break from the new normal of massive selling all morning. Michigan consumer sentiment @ 9, don't get stopped out on that one as they will definitely spike it down to stop people out before they run the price up, if they actually do run the price.

Consumer Sentiment & Stocks MarketsStock Markets Track Consumer Sentiment Closely The relationship between consumer sentiment and the stock market is evident in this observation. Historically, consumer sentiment tends to lead stock market movements, providing valuable insights into potential trends. Personally, I consider the Russell 2000 Index as a reflection of mass consumer sentiment, given that it tracks the 2,000 smallest publicly traded companies in the U.S. market. Looking at the E-Mini Russell futures, consumer sentiment peaked in December 2024, and since then, I have been monitoring the Russell and other indices along their well-supported trendlines. When the Russell started testing its trendline in January, I became cautious about its uptrend. The clean break on February 21 signaled a shift: Russell transitioned from an uptrend to a downtrend on the daily chart. Consequently, my trading strategy has shifted from buying on dips to selling on strength whenever opportunities arise. Russell is Leading Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P??? Indices tend to influence each other, and leadership often rotates. While the Nasdaq has previously led market moves, this case study suggests Russell is currently taking the lead. Technically, the overall U.S. market remains bullish as long as it holds above the primary uptrend line. A bear market is typically confirmed when the market drops 30%, and by then, it should break below all primary uptrend lines. However, waiting for that confirmation is too late—by then, the damage will be significant. The key observation is that Russell has already broken its secondary uptrend line. Will the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq follow? If so, we need to make fundamental projections. Factors like escalating tariff conflicts could worsen inflation, directly impacting the broader stock market and indices. Consumer Sentiment Still Below 80 Despite Pandemic Being Long Over Given the current macro environment, consumer sentiment is likely to remain below 80 for an extended period. Additionally, there is a downside risk if geopolitical tensions escalate. From past case studies, a consumer sentiment reading below 80 has often preceded a stock market decline. This historical pattern raises concerns about future market stability. My Trading Strategy: Cautiously Bullish • Technical Perspective: Apart from Russell, I remain bullish on other indices. • Fundamental Perspective: Market sentiment leans toward pessimism. • Conclusion: This dual outlook leads me to a cautiously bullish stance. For Russell 2000, my preferred strategy is to sell into strength, guided by a downtrend channel.

U.S. Stock Indices In Recovery ModeU.S. stock indices have seen a lot of volatility with significant chop back and forth starting off 2025. With the new year comes a new administration, changing foreign policy, changing of the Fed interest rate environment, and a different earnings outlook for stocks. Looking at the small caps with the Russell 2000, the market has been in a range between the 50-day moving average and the 200-day moving average since the breakdown on December 18th, and has not been able to break on either side of these levels. After a broad selloff starting off the week for the indices, the Russell has been climbing back higher after re-testing the 200-day moving average. The market has been trading above this 200-day moving average since December of 2023 and will need some type of catalyst to break out of the current range. The Russell, or small cap stocks in general, typically are the most sensitive to interest rate changes, and with the changing tone from the Fed and the probability of rate cuts coming this year, traders will be watching the Russell 2000.
