RUSSELL 2K AND DOW TRANSPORTS TOPPED?The combination of RUT and DTX has created a rising wedge. Price has broken down out of the wedge. These two indices are known to lead the broader market, so their topping in early June is interesting. Price topped in coordination with an RSI divergence before breaking down from the lower trendline of the wedge. This seems to have a good chance of going lower.
NOT INVESTMENT OR TRADING ADVICE
Sunday Market Outlook - Week 30 Sentiment:
SP500: Bullish
NASDAQ: Bullish/Neutral
Dow: Bullish/Neutral
Russell: Neutral/Bearish
I make these market outlooks more for myself than for anyone else to have some kind of history of my thoughts prior to the fact. They are in no way trading advice, but should be treated as my views on the market.
ES mini
Weekly chart analysis
My three trend indicating moving averages (20, 50, 100) are still pointing up meaning that there is still upward potential in this market.
The S&P500 just broke up to a new all time high, which in my view is also a bullish, although some profit taking might be experienced at these level, which might temper the way up.
Last week there was a 9 sell on the MRI indicator, which indicates that there is a big chance of a 1-4 candle correction to the downside. This played out nicely on Monday and some nice profits could be had shorting Monday. But the correction was already over on Tuesday which would have made exiting the shorts hard to time. Because we have reached a new ATH I think the 1-4 candle correction this time only took 1 candle and we can continue the coming week up again, barred the profit taking that might happen at these ATH.
Daily chart analysis
The daily chart looks very very strong. We broke the break out line and there is a star on Friday's candle indicating a strong buy signal in my opinion.
Also all the MA's are sloping up, so we are still in an uptrend on the daily too.
Nasdaq mini
Weekly chart analysis
Last week we had a MRI warning candle warning for an upcoming MRI 9 sell in this case. Therefore there is a high chance that this week we'll get a 1-4 week correction in the NASDAQ and caution should be in place if you are long the NASDAQ.
This moving averages are very strong and the angle up of the 20 week MA increased in July, after flattening a little in June.
Mainly based on the MRI I expect the NASDAQ to move sideways to meet the 20 week MA and the trendline that started on the COVID crash back in March 2020.
Daily chart analysis
Although both MRI (starred candle buy) and MA are bullish on the NASDAQ, the fact that we are at the break out line of the MRI, might support the 1-4 week candle correction looming on the weekly chart.
Dow Jones mini
Weekly chart analysis
The Dow Jones is currently trying to break new all times highs as well, but is struggling. Last week we had the MRI buy star and the candle is strong, so maybe we will manage to go higher this week.
The weekly MAs are indicating the uptrend is still there and the MA 20 was successfully rejected, so that shouldn't be hindering us seeking higher levels.
The MRI extension C also has played out already it seems and therefore is also no factor anymore.
Daily chart analysis
The picture on the daily chart is almost the same as on the weekly chart. Only thing I don't like here and that might stop an all to sudden move up is the vicinity of the MRI break out line.
After some sideways movement of the MAs they also seem to found there way up, which adds to my bullish stance on the Dow as well
Russell mini
Weekly chart analysis
Where the S&P, NASDAQ and Dow seem to walk in lockstep, the Russell has a mind of its own.
The picture I see here on the weekly chart is not that bullish at all. The MA 20 has turned sideways since mid June price has been trying to break down the 2200 handle since then. the Russell still was able to hold it, but the last 2 week the attempts to break 2200 became more serious. This time around even the long term trendline stemming from March 2020 was pierced, but it recovered last week. As long as there isn't a second close below the trendline the week right after a break I consider the line still intact, but it weakens the line. That's for sure.
Actually I don't think the trendline will be holding that much longer (it is quite steep) and we might go down and visit the 50 week MA.
Daily chart analysis
The daily chart of the Russell I don't like for a bit. There is a double dead cross. The 20 MA crossing both the 50 MA and the 100 MA in two consecutive days. So there is a high probability that we will find lower the coming days.
So that's it for this weeks outlook. I hope it was helpful seeing my views on the market.
I wish y'all a happy trading week and remember these are just my views and not trading advice! Always do your own research.
RUT - Russell 2000 - Breaking for SouthRussell 2000 Outperformed SP500 but now can't hold it's growth are this rally exhaust it's a difficult question.
If we look into all Bonds Yields and we can figure out these all are dropping and it should not be happen in growth or inflation time,
S&P 5000 Pushing higher but if look inside story Mid and Small caps stocks dropping it means only few giants pushing this index high but in zero interest rate atmosphere if these mid and small caps can not gain means these overvalued or low confidence or some other factors?
We need to stay informed and prepare
Cup and Handle! Long CRNCI am bullish on CRNC on the basis of a cup and handle formation that offers an attractive risk/reward. The cup and handle is a bit "broken" only because of a gap-up due to CRNC being added to an index. We have now closed that gap at $109 and it appears that the bullish move is ready to continue. I am eyeing two targets for this trade at the 0.786 fib line and near the previous ATH of $139 where it would likely face resistance.
Other considerations:
1. This move is dependent on growth stocks, so if Treasury yields rebound and it forces a risk-off market, this trade will likely fail.
2. Earnings are coming up and as we can see, CRNC is volatile, so expect a sharp move following the report.

Fear of COVID in the market or ..?Since July 5th, 2021, there is a change in the pattern of new Confirmed covid cases in the US, because of the delta variant.
From a statistical point of view, there is a significant negative correlation between the Nasdaq composite and the number of covid cases in the US, in the past month.
The difference is :
49% of the population are fully vaccinated and 56% received at least one dose!
However, we can not deny the fact that could be a trigger for a correction in the markets!
Dangerous Situation in small caps!Hourly Chart: Top Swing
Daily Chart: Right at the support level. (possible price action for few days)
Weekly Chart: close at the lowest level since February
Monthly Chart: -6.38% since the beginning of July, the Worst performance since March 2020..!
Conclusion: This correction could slip to a bearish market..! Risk is high..!
Russell 2000: Bottom is in. Resting on two key supports.IWM is sitting at the confluence of a 6-month support trend line and a 16-month support trend line. Daily RSI is at its lowest level since March 24, just one day after the stock market bottomed following the corona virus crash. Primed for a bounce.
Why Small caps are at higher Risk!history tends to repeat itself..! and what has happened in the past has a higher chance of happing in the future!
March 2009 - Sep 2011:
Oct 2011- Jan 2016:
Feb 2016 - Dec2018
I will wait for the reaction to the trend line! closure below the trend line could bring a 20% further correction!

S&P500 - About time for a proper retracement??Am just looking at my panel of leading indicators, and besides the S&P500 ES1! daily chart looking a bit stalled with MACD turning down, the Russell2000, DJ Transports and Value Geometric Index are already leading down. Key levels to breakdown are in red circles.
Some others like the High Yield Bonds and TIPS are still holding; while the Treasury Bonds are being snapped up (Risk Off mode)
Volatility is low, waiting for a breakout.
Looks like a storm is brewing...
RUSSEL 2000 - Bullish formationI´m bullish for the small caps:) The market reached a logical target in the corrective movement. Now i´m looking forward to a bullish impulse to the upside. The scenario remains intact for the time being as long as the market stays above 2214.3. Below that level would be a bearish invalidation. As long as the market remains within this sideways range, everything is fine. Wave 2 would have even more room to correct. So my thesis is that the small caps are starting a small rally once again. That would also correlate with my general assessment of the market.
