Russell 2000: How deep can the Bear Market go?As the markets navigate uncertainty, the Russell 2000 appears to have entered a #bearmarket, contrasting with other indices that are still correcting. A pressing question looms: Has the market correction concluded, or are we on the brink of a broader bear market?
Last Friday's market turmoil saw panic-like sell-offs, deeply affecting major U.S. and European #stocks with losses ranging from 6% to over 10%. Such widespread sell-offs suggest a panic reaction, possibly indicating a market bottom. However, panic alone cannot confirm this hypothesis.
To evaluate the likelihood of a deeper bear market and potential buying opportunities, several factors need consideration.
Currently, the Russell 2000 is approximately 30% down from its previous all-time high. Technically, it rests in a horizontal support zone. However, the strength of this zone is debatable. Let’s explore why.
The initial moves by President Trump to impose reciprocal tariffs have already been felt, but the reactions of other nations remain unpredictable. Should other countries react strongly or if further tariffs and legal changes are introduced by President Trump, we could be heading toward a global trade war. Such a development could compromise the support zone, potentially driving the Russell 2000 down by 50%, reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic drop in 2020. A target range of 1250–1200 points could thus be realistic.
If the situation deteriorates further and we revisit pandemic lows, the Russell 2000 could plummet by nearly 60%, reaching as low as 950 points, mirroring the 2020 scenario.
I've recently suggested that this scenario may be the right time to cautiously start building small positions, considering additional declines could occur. A cautious and incremental market entry is a wise strategy during such uncertain periods.
We hope this focused analysis on the #Russell2000 provides valuable insights as you navigate these turbulent times.

Bitcoin (2024-2025) vs. Russell 2000 in (2017-2018)Bitcoin (2024–2025) is tracing a structure similar to the Russell 2000 (2017–2018). On the slide: BTC on top, RUT below - both showing near-identical consolidation patterns just before a major breakout.
Both periods were marked by macro stress:
• 2018 + 2025: Trump tariffs + rising global trade friction
Back in 2018, RYY rallied 22% into a blow-off top, tagging the 1.618 Fib. If BTC repeats the move, that projects a 70% rally - bringing us right to the $130K target we've been tracking.
Same structure. Same season. Similar stress. Different ticker.

Russell 2000 - 5th wave of Y leg may already be in progress... The rejection at 2100 price level also happens to be the 38.2% Fib of the decline from the 14th of February 2025. The decline from 6th of February 2025 counts beautifully as waves 1, 2, 3 & 4. If this wave count is correct, then the Russell is currently in wave 1 of 5 of Y of (ii).
This is my primary wave count as long as the 2100 resistance is not breached.
This changes my initial wave count from a complex WXYXZ to a simple WXY.
Click on the link to see the previous wave count which is still valid and is now an alternate wave count if the 2100 resistance is breached:
Only updating the wave count. My bias and direction remain the same.
Wave Y is possibly in progress. Looks like we are going to have a bearish April & possibly May as well. Selling corrective rally is still the way to trade for now. Take profit at 1905/1900, which is where technically, the Russell 2000 will possibly turn up for wave (iii).
Stop Loss can be placed above wave 4, well out of the way in case of any wild swing on this PCE Friday.

This RUT/NDX ratio may convince you to buy NASDAQ aggressively.Nasdaq (NDX) has been under heavy selling pressure in the past 30 days. This short-term pull-back however is nothing but a buy opportunity on the long-term, and this study shows you why.
The answer lies on the RUT/NDX ratio which shows that this may be the time to get heavier on tech. The use of the Russell 2000 index (RUT) is due to the fact it represents a wider array of companies. Naturally over the years (this 1M chart shows data since 2006), the ratio declines within a Channel Down as historically the riskier tech sector attracts more capital and grows more.
However there are instances where Russell gains more against Nasdaq. We are currently though at a time where this isn't the case as the ratio seems to be ready for decline following the completion of a consolidation that on previous fractals (March 2015, September 2008) was bearish, thus positive for Nasdaq.
As you can see, this movements can be grasped by the Sine Waves, though not perfectly, but still good enough to understand the cyclical pattern we're in, also with the help of the 1M RSI Triangles.
Nasdaq (which is represented by the blue trend-line) has started massive expansion Channel Up patterns following this unique signal given by the RUT/NDX ratio. The first was right after the 2009 Housing Crisis bottom and the second during the 2015/ 2016 E.U., VW and Oil crisis.
The key here is on the 1M RSI. The Triangle is about to beak to the upside and every time this happened in the last 20 years, it coincided with a pull-back on Nasdaq (blue circle) similar to the current one. What followed was massive rallies each time.
As a result, this could be an indication that even though the tariffs have rattles investor confidence lately, this is an opportunity for a strong buy position for at least the rest of the year.

Small Cap Reversal patternAs rates persist higher as FED lowers rates, small-cap companies with limited pricing power, and high debt, needing to roll over debt are in trouble.
The chart is showing a CRACK!
Consider a Neutral Stance on Russell 2000 for Next Week- Key Insights: The Russell 2000 has shown recent instability, matching declines
across major indices. While there has been a minor rebound, continued
vigilance is advised due to ongoing volatility in small-cap stocks.
Investors should be mindful of sector-specific signals, particularly in
technology and finance.
- Price Targets: For the upcoming week, adopt a neutral trading stance given
mixed market signals.
- Next week targets (T1, T2): T1 at $207, T2 at $212
- Stop levels (S1, S2): S1 at $197, S2 at $192
- Recent Performance: The Russell 2000 is down approximately 17-18% from its
recent peak, with a brief rally showing gains around 2-2.5% alongside major
indices like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. This reflects the index's
susceptibility amidst broader market conditions.
- Expert Analysis: Experts highlight the underperformance of small caps versus
larger caps, pointing to their vulnerability during turbulent market phases.
Mixed signals within the technology sector, particularly dependent on small-
cap innovation, emphasize the need for close observation of these domains.
- News Impact: Recent strategic fund expansions including the Russell 2000 among
key indices underscore an interest in small-cap gains despite current
hurdles. Additionally, potential tariff changes could influence sectors
intrinsically linked to trade, affecting small-cap firms operating within
these areas. Maintaining a balanced perspective on these events is crucial
for informed investment decisions.
