Russell 2000 - short for now but longer term bullishAccording to EW if the 2nd wave correction is shallow then there is a greater chance that the 4th wave correction is deeper. Still, is my 4th wave shaping up to be a simple flat correction or is this correction going to morph into something much longer and deeper? No way of knowing yet unfortunately.....

Fundamentally.
This comes immediately after the Dollar gains momentum as the market digest the statement - FED RATE SEPTEMBER 2019, as the dot-plot shows no additional cuts through the end of 2020.
