Institutional Sentiment Shift
Net short interest exploded from –30K in early July to –90K by early August—a 300% jump in bearish conviction.

A clear bearish engulfing candlestick reinforces the likelihood of further downside.
Macro & Market Backdrop:
• The Fed remains hawkish, quashing near-term rate cut expectations.
Reuters
• Small-caps continue to underperform—Russell trades rich but offers less structural strength compared to large-caps.
MarketWatch
• With stagflation risks rising, small/mid-cap companies could face underperformance and tighter financing conditions.
MarketWatch
Bottom Line:
With institutional short positioning intensifying, market structure turning bearish, and macroeconomic challenges mounting, the US2000 is poised for further pressure. Traders—watch for follow-through declines.
RUT it’s bottoming out soon. Buying and holding this position as long as I can. Will add to it when I find other bottoms on the way up.RUT possible tops for today are 2230-2234, 2255, or 2269. I’m attempting for 2230’s as there’s more resistance there. There’s an added discount as it’s higher than that right now in the pre market. Good luck today.RUT It may have bottomed here so I bought. We could still go lower after a relatively small correction to the upside, but it could also be a strong bottom. Only time will tell and you have to make bearishly defensively.RUT sold prematurely and went short at 2225.7. Did not like the initial structure of the push up. Good luck.RUT still have at least 1% on the upside before a pull back. Consider a short after 2235.RUT Bottom in place at 2201.
