Russell
Bitcoin and the big macro pictureBTCUSD currently in a very bearish trend. Keeps closing lower and lower both on daily and weekly charts, while the price keeps getting rejected at previously important levels. Bitcoin is oversold and cheap compared to several models and previous cycles, but because it went up too fast it could potentially bottom anywhere between 12k to 28k. Essentially its momentum and trend are very bearish, although Bitcoin is cheap. It could just get a lot cheaper. It's tested the 28-31k zone so many times, that the whole thing will probably break down. Currently 31-31.5k is resistance and until that is properly reclaimed I remain pretty bearish. BTC could go all the way up to 35.3k and still be bearish, but once it closes above that level I think the bull is fully back.
BTC.D is another thing indicating that the crypto market isn't in a good state at the moment. Bitcoin dominance growing without Bitcoin showing strength potentially means money is leaving the market. Yes there is money coming in, in the form of stablecoins, but the market still doesn't look very healthy. We have a big bubble and its only been about 2 months since it popped and we haven't seen capitulation yet. Bitcoin dominance could reach 60% before alts start going up hard again (both vs USD and BTC).

Bonds had a massive breakout. There are many reasons why bonds could be going up, but I think this also hits the inflation/reflation story/narrative in the head. The Fed isn't printing money and there is no real growth, so at least for now inflation is transitory. The market is telling us banks aren't lending and that there is a lot of trouble ahead, something clearly shown by the Reverse Repo situation where banks want to give cash and get pristine collateral (US Treasuries). Clearly the Delta variant, the Fed being hawkish, so very high inflation numbers etc are also catalysts/signals that things are good and that the Fed has neither inflation or deflation under control.
The USD (DXY) hasn't broken out completely yet, but it is creeping higher. Another not so great sign. The USD has a lot of resistance in the 96-97 area so even if it breaks out, it might just create a shock in the markets which might not last for very long. At the moment getting down to 91 wouldn't be abnormal and then go up to 96-97. Personally I think that breaks 89 it will head all the way down to 82, but until then it's still in this massive range and I have no idea which way is it going to break. The USD and Bonds creeping higher are not good signs for the reflation trade for sure,
Oil is at key support right now and with OPEC announcing more production + the Delta variant + the reflation trade slowing down for months now + oil hitting a 6.5 year high, were enough to slam Oil back down... but personally I think the low supply + underinvestment + the insane collapse & bear market bottom in April 2020 are the major catalysts that will take oil higher. Oil is a good buy here and all the way down to 44. In the next few years it will probably hit 100$
Gold is trapped in a range. Doesn't look great, doesn't look awful... But because its below most key MAs, below most key pivots and has tested the diagonal support & the horizontal at 1680 so many times, I think it will break lower. If dollar goes up, then I expect Gold to go down.
Silver seems very weak and breaking down. Another bad sign for the reflation trade and could be a bad sign for gold too. After the failed scam pump silver failed to go higher and I wouldn't touch it until it hits 19$ or breaks above 30$.
Copper made a new ATH and then quickly crumbled back down. We saw something similar with gold, but at different time period and that's not bullish. At least until I see them reclaim their 2011 ATHs I am cautious. Copper unlike silver looks a lot more bullish as its long term trend is still up and the demand for copper could skyrocket due to the green revolution, but in the short term if it breaks below 4$ I think it would potentially bounce at 3.7$ and then bottom at 3.3$.
Nasdaq 100 has been the best performer of the last few months as US tech giants are benefiting from a strong dollar and deflation. The Nasdaq going up alone was a sign that something was a bit off. In my opinion stocks, and especially US tech stocks will go even higher and properly parabolic over the next few years... but in the short term I am a cautious. NDX showing some strength at the moment but could dip down to 14.2k and if that doesn't hold to go all the way down to 12.4k. In my opinion there is no doubt that stock market bull isn't over, at least not for the Nasdaq.
SPX hit some very important support and this could be the dip. Beautiful fill of the inefficiency and bounced a bit. The SPX Equal weight topped in May 10th along with crypto, another sign that the final rally was only because of large caps.
Russell 2000 also showing a similar picture although it actually topped in Mid March. The current way the Russell looks is a proper reversal and doesn't look bullish. However it's still in this range and because it has held the lows after sweeping only one there is a chance it goes higher. If it start dropping the best area to look for buying are the old ATHs which coincides with the Vaccine/Election breakout pump.
DAX Not looking great, but still very bullish long term.
Nikkei has been having these pumps and then full retrace for many many years. The situation is similar to the Russell, so I'd definitely like to go long near 24.2k
VIX Attempting to Fill the Overnight Gap, Markets Slightly DownMarkets slightly down overnight with Vix Up over 4%. We can see on our short term VIX Structure that a gap fill attempt can be on the way. This may turn the Indices back up for the day, ahead of a lot of economic data week as well. Markets will have some moves this week I bet. Trade safe out there!
Traditional market analysis 12/06/2021 #3Hello everyone! Once again I'll have to repeat myself by saying that despite the fact stocks are overvalued, there could be much more upside. Given the way central banks and governments are acting, it is hard for me to see stocks reversing any time soon. Yes there will be some pretty strong corrections along the way and at some point a big bear market. But to me it looks like we are more in a situation like we were after breaking above the 2000-2008 highs or in 1987 than we are in 1970s or 2000s.
Other than the US all other stock markets were very depressed for 1 or even 2 decades. European stock markets have been showing a lot of strength and their charts are indicating significant upside from here rather than downside. Below I have added some European indices which all seem very very strong and with significant upside potential. In 2020 and so far in 2021 we had the US initially show most strength, then Asia and now Europe.
Of course this doesn't mean the US market is in a bad spot or anything. Quite the opposite. Actually European markets doing well is a very good sign for the risk on sentiment. Bond yields have been going lower in several places although some Central banks are raising rates. In my opinion in the EU and US we won't see higher rates any time soon and there is no other way out of this massive debt hole we are in. To me negative real rates are boosting stocks, as long as we don't see Oil getting completely out of control. As long as oil stays below 100$/barrel for some time and doesn't shock the market we could be OK. The same goes for most important commodities and especially Copper.
Currently the Russell 2000 is looking like it is about to come out of long period of re-accumulation. The Russell 3000 seems to be in a very strong uptrend that has the potential to continue even higher. We have no idea how massive this bubble could get as the biggest bubble is actually in the bond and currency markets. At least that's my opinion at the moment. This doesn't mean I think we will have hyper inflation or sustained inflation for more than 2-3 years, but it isn't impossible. Unfortunately policy makers are taking a ton of bad steps that are compounding little failures in the 'system' and eventually that will break either through social arrest or a market collapse. It's just not time yet and markets aren't that irrational yet... so dips are for buying and currently being long seems better than being short.
Where am I wrong at least for the short term? If the Russell 3000 closes below 2350. That's where my mental stop loss is.

Elliott Wave View: Russell 2000 Aiming for All-Time HighShort term Elliott Wave view suggests rally from May 13, 2021 low is unfolding as a 5 waves impulse Elliott Wave structure. Up from May 13 low, wave ((i)) ended at 2245.1 and pullback in wave ((ii)) ended at 2152.35. The Index has started to rally again within wave ((iii)). Up from wave ((ii)) low, wave i ended at 2193.8 and dips in wave ii ended at 2170.20. Index then resumes higher in wave iii towards 2236.30 and pullback in wave iv ended at 2228.90. Final leg higher in wave v ended at 2250.2 which completes wave (i) in higher degree.
Pullback in wave (ii) ended at 2204.60. Index then extends higher in wave (iii) towards 2286.70 with internal subdivision of another 5 waves in lesser degree. Pullback in wave (iv) ended at 2256.50. Near term, expect a few more highs before the Index ends wave (v) and also wave ((iii)) in higher degree. From there, it should pullback in wave ((iv)) to correct cycle from May 19 low before the rally resumes. As far as May 19 pivot low at 2152.35 stays intact, expect dips to find support in 3, 7, or 11 swing for further upside.
Broadening descending patterns on Russel. Makes me think Gann.It looks like it might have found the bottom already to me. The downward sloping upper trendline on the top looks like it could be trouble, but in the meantime I think it will trickle upward.
I have listed as 'neutral' because one of my two paths has Russel collecting at a lower level.
RUT Bullish wave (5) RUT daily chart shows small caps is setting up for a wave (5) rally that could reach 2528. Up to the daily time frame and above, the RUT remaining bullish against the wave (C) support level at 2100 for now. We are interested in establishing long positions like a bullish vertical that expires in May 2021.
RUSSELL 2000 - IWM IS CLOSING TO CRASHLOOK AT D BIG PICTURE
RUSSELL 2000 IS VERY VERY CLOSING TO CRASH AGAIN.
SMALL CAPS ARE NOT CREATE VALUE IN PAST YEAR BUT INDEX RISED TOO MUCH HIGH.
WHEN U COMPARE TO SP500, THERE IS A BIG GAP BETWEEN RUSSELL 2000 AND SP500
I BEILEVE THAT RUSSELL 2000 NEED TO RETURN TO HIS ACTUAL VELUE VERY SHORTLY.
I AM RADY TO SHORT IT THROUGH -3X ETF $SRTY
Russell futures> potential short and long scenarios.This is my set up, for Russell
Obviously a short entry has a better risk reward with 3 potential targets. But I don’t get to pick direction. My bias however is long due to the down wedge and strong supply. Price tends to attracted to strong demand or supply zones.
Have fun! Please give thumbs up and follow if you find this helpful.
Russel (RTY) - get ready to shortRussell futures ready to drop.
- upwedge
- overbought RSI
- Riding upper bollinger band for a while now
This is a pretty simple trade plan. Enter short if price breaks lower end of up wedge .
Aggressive entry = on break of wedge
Conservative entry on retest of wedge
Please hit thumbs up if this idea interesting and please leave comment.
RUT - reversing in a massive CUP & HANDLE pattern?
Russell looks like reversing - many signs that 2174 could be a TOP in place - see my previous idea
BUT the reverse has been very SLOW so far
it looks like a massive top reversal curve or CUP & HANDLE pattern
it could be turning in a massive channel till Friday next week (options expiry) or beginning of FEB
