Russell 2000: One Of The Most Bearish Charts Out There?

in trading •  6 years ago 

In September of last year, the Russell finally broke above the rising resistance line that had been holding back prices since March 2014. This clearly should have been viewed as a positive event and the market managed to rally over 18% from the breakout to it's recent high.

However, just 6 weeks on from that high and the uptrend has been broken and the rising resistance line which is now support, is in danger of breaking. Should support give, this represents a major failure from the prior breakout and would suggest lower prices. More to the point, given the time-frame over which the rising resistance formed, I would suggest it opens up the potential for significantly lower prices.

This is one of many charts that are in danger of a significant breakdown. I wrote here about waht AUDJPY might be telling us, but I think the Russell 200 chart is one of the most important ones to be watching right now.

Yeah I earlier this year I attempt to open up a major position down on the AUDJPY, but I was too early. I'm sure I will get another shot at it in the future.

I was trying to trade it the other way recently!! Risk attitude has shifted significantly since then! Risk does look to the downside. Can move quickly if/when it goes as well.
