E-MINI Russel 2000 index (pressure concepts/tutorial) To optimise your "edge" practice identifying previous demand and supply zones. These zones have multiple titles. Some analysts call them "order blocks".. I do like order blocks because it does assume a square pattern. Accumulation patterns tend to outline as a square whereas RE accumulation will take on more of a triangular pattern.
Imagine if you will an accumulation pattern. This pattern can vary as far as time. But in general these should b considered "HIGH PRESSURE" zones. Price can and will exit this "block" without utilising all of the stored pressure... however, this pressure is still in this zone. When and if price does return here, it will encounter this pressures and there will be a reaction.
There are 3 ways in which price will react:
1- Price will find pressure and "bounce" off of this previous box and continue to "mark-up"
2- Price will find this pressure and begin another "trading range" until demand exceeds supply
3- Price will get to this area and find minimum to no pressure and will continue on its trajectory
These concepts are not difficult to see with practice. The most difficult part of any trading strategy is waiting for what you want to see.
When you hear traders talk about looking left on the chart, this is what is going on. It could sometimes take months to years for price to return to these price areas, indeed. It can also tale a few hours. It depends on wether or not you are trying to day trade or invest longterm.
Regardless of strategy, in order to minimise risk, it is paramount that you become aware of these previous "HIGH PRESSURE" zones. You never want to short into a previous demand zone, nor do you ever want to go long into a previous supply zone. Volume helps to facilitate you and I spotting this "residual" volume iin these high pressure zones.
These concepts are difficult to type/explain. I am contemplating some sort of video series, text so that I can share these concepts. These concepts however, ARE NOT MINE. They are the charts... they are for all of us to exploit. But in order for anyone to exploit these weaknesses, you need to practice. Trading view is absolutely the best platform to do this and I am certain that if traders began trading accurately using volume, trading view would start charging to use what is currently the free volume indicator. It is THE most powerful TA indicator.
Again these are difficult concepts to explain and I do appreciate if you made it through this tutorial

RTY1! trade ideas
RTY - Resistance (0.5) Turned Support0.5 is acting as a support now as price has moved way above it, prior to this it was a resistance point as price tested it
This bullish assumption is supported by the RSI, showing an Inverted H&S pattern, just completing the Right Shoulder
This 0.5 fib line should act as a support now
RTY UpdateChart pattern and indicator directions looks bearish.
NQ MFI is oversold though, which is why I didn't comment earlier, was expecting a sector rotation day. Now NQ looks weak despite being oversold.
Looks to me like strictly an Euro futures pump, if futures sell off then garbage stocks are toast. They didn;t rally with the market at all.
Key Technical Areas In The E-mini S&P, Nasdaq & Russell 2000We're in a phase of the markets where the E-mini S&P 500, E-mini Nasdaq 100 & E-mini Russell 2000 Futures are all moving together without divergences. This is a good look for Index traders because when the Indexes are working together we get cleaner moves. In this video I go over the key technical areas I am seeing in these Indexes and how I now have a line in the sand for the bulls to hold. In the video I use Bollinger Bands, Anchored VWAP, 10 day simple moving average and my Beacon Indicator (it's free and open source here on TradingView).
I mentioned in the video I am using Micro Futures to execute some of these trades. To learn more about these products go to CME Group's website. I am also executing my futures on TradeStation which you can connect to TradingView to trade spot, futures and crypto. To learn more you can go to TradeStation dot com/anthony.

RTY1! - Weekly Market Update, 5/31/22Russell 2000 triggers a buy signal, however like the Nasdaq and S&P - the risk outweighs the reward. For the shorter-term trader, employing a smaller time frame strategy - perhaps this market could offer some continued relief rally upside. I've adjusted support and resistance structures accordingly for your reference.
RTY Daily Support Shows it is holdingThe RTY Daily time frame is in a down channel. The
market hit the bottom of the channel and found
support. The market is now pushing bullish towards
the top of the channel price point 1936.2 about
+803 ticks above the market. It will be a good
idea to turn to the one hour time frame and to
look for long ideas in the buy zone.
RTY1! - Weekly Market Update, 5/23/22Russell 2000 has settled practically right on the key BLACK support structure I mentioned last week.
I do not see a setup to execute at this time based on current support and resistance structures.
If anything should change, I'll gladly issue a midweek update...
Wishing you a blessed and profitable week ahead!
A long-overdue small-cap reboundThe small-cap Russell 2000 Index has been the underdog among the four major US indices since last year. Its post-pandemic rally halted in early 2021, and subsequently, it went sideways for more than a year without making new highs. Meanwhile, the tech darlings continued to go north all the way until the beginning of this year.
The first half of 2022 has been marked by widespread risk-off sentiment and a precipitous drop in the US equity market. After being down almost 30% from the high, we now find the Russell 2000 Index at significant technical support levels that we believe a meaningful rebound will likely ensue.
The Index has bounced right at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level near 1700. We also observed bullish RSI Divergence where price made lower lows, but RSI showed higher lows, suggesting the bearish momentum is waning and at the cusp of a reversal.
Entry at 1806, stop above 1680. Targets are 1880 and 2100.

RTY1! - Weekly Market Update, 5/16/22Nasdaq futures like the other major indexes have tested their BLACK channel monthly support structure and have at least based on this past Friday's action bounced slightly. Even if this downtrend continues, there's likely to be some relief at this point. If this past Friday was all of the relief or not, that's yet to be seen. I do not see any actionable ideas offered at this point in time on this particular index. Stay calm, disciplined and consistent - those who do will prevail. Wishing you a blessed and profitable week!
RTY down Fib hitThe RTY daily time frame is in a down channel.
The market is at the bottom of the channel where
support could be found. If support is found, the
market could push bullish towards the top of the
channel price point 1944.1. If support fails. The
market is expected to push bearish towards the
daily down Fibonacci price point 1700.6 about
-869 ticks below the market. It will be a good
idea to wait for either A) the market to close
below the bottom of the support then turn to
the one hour time frame to look for short ideas
towards the daily down Fibonacci
or B) Support holds and the market creates a
bullish trend and pushes bullish towards the top
of the channel price point 1936.2 about +1,482
ticks above the market.
