When the Target Is Too Close, Change the Timeframe A chart pattern can identify a possible direction. It cannot tell us whether the trade built around that direction offers enough room to justify the risk. That distinction becomes especially important when a pattern appears technically valid, yet an important support or resistance area sits much closer than the pattern's textbook target. In that situation, the question is no longer simply, "Is the pattern bullish or bearish?" A more useful question is: "How much space does the market realistica

RTY1! - Why complicate things?Went short Sept 10 (Dec contract pricing shown), there's the stop as of now... sizing is KEY, but not for thee..... not here anyway :-) When you start trading a proven system, you stop worry about the utter nonsense that prevents most traders from winning.... When stops need to be moved, I'll update here. And yes all of my public posts are delayed for a reason. Ask why or think harder :-)

RTY1! / RUSSELL 2000 Multiple Timeframes RTY1! Multiple Timeframe Analysis: On the Daily chart (LEFT), we can see that this price zone (A) previously acted as support and led to a strong +6% move to a new all-time high. The Daily chart is still in an uptrend. However, the 4H chart (RIGHT) is trending steadily lower, and at the moment there is no clear sign that the downtrend is coming to an end. Since the Daily trend (LEFT) remains intact, we could potentially see a bullish reversal if a double bottom, a breakdown failure, or a s

It would be great to go through rehab here :8 Last time, when I tried to go short here, I ended up in the red, but this time it would be nice to see a logical continuation of the short trend, since the previous chart supported the short narrative.

Friday are you in are you in shape?Considering that yesterday we got a good reaction from Npoc and that today we opened OTD, I would like to get a proper reaction in the short.

Elliott Wave View: Russell 2000 (RTY) Impulse Set to Extend High The short‑term Elliott Wave view in Russell 2000 (RTY) shows that the rally from the June 9, 2026 low is unfolding as a five‑wave impulsive structure. From that low, wave ((i)) concluded at 3068.4, followed by a corrective pullback in wave ((ii)) which ended at 2903.26. The one‑hour chart highlights this development clearly. The Index has since advanced in wave ((iii)), which subdivides into another five‑wave sequence of lesser degree. From wave ((ii)), wave (i) finished at 2976.3, while the su

Russell 2000 : The Market’s Risk Thermometer The Russell 2000 remains one of the clearest gauges of genuine risk appetite across the market. Following a strong recovery and a retest of the all-time high area, a healthy correction is now expected before the broader bullish move can continue. This setup aims to take advantage of that potential pullback, offering an attractive risk-to-reward profile while keeping the stop-loss below the key structure supporting the idea. Should the stop-loss be triggered, the broader long-term thesis would

Beyond the Mega-Caps: The 2026 Small-Cap Surge Standard market benchmarks are not evenly weighted. In the S&P 500, the 10 largest companies account for roughly 37% of the index's value, while in the Nasdaq they represent closer to 45%. When these indices lead a rally, benchmark performance is disproportionately influenced by sentiment toward these mega-cap technology firms. By contrast, companies with smaller index weights have less impact on overall performance. Indices that give smaller companies more proportional representation, such as t

RTY: Decision Point Approaches at 2860 RTY continues to rotate lower from resistance near 2940 while holding above key support at 2860. The current pivot zone around 2890 remains the immediate battleground. A break below 2860 would expose the next objective near 2820, while a successful defence of support could allow buyers to reclaim the pivot and challenge higher levels. Key Levels: • Resistance: 2940-2950 • Pivot: 2890-2900 • Support: 2860 • Downside Objective: 2820 My probabilities Bearish (2860 breaks → 2820) 55% Bullish

Russell | Pullback Into Demand Within Higher Timeframe Uptrend Russell has pulled back into a key demand area following a strong impulsive advance. The broader trend remains constructive while price holds above the 2860 failure level. Key Levels: • Major Demand: 2890-2900 • Failure Level: 2860 • Reclaim Zone: 2925-2945 • Upside Objective: 3000 As long as demand holds, the focus remains on a potential move back into the reclaim zone and a retest of recent highs. A loss of 2860 would invalidate the immediate bullish thesis and shift attention toward lower

RTY Breakout to ATHs: Small Caps Lead as War Truce Holds Geopolitical Fog, Rate Uncertainty, and the Small Cap Divergence The past month has served as a genuine stress test for risk sentiment, and RTY has passed with surprising resilience. The macro backdrop remains anything but clean. The US-Iran conflict, which began with US-Israeli airstrikes in late February, resulted in Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz and sending shockwaves through global energy markets. The Federal Reserve's April 29 FOMC statement explicitly cited Middle East developments a
