RUSSELL 2000 INDEX

Every week Tech Charts Global Equity Markets report features some of the well-defined, mature classical chart patterns under a lengthy watchlist and the chart pattern breakout signals that took place during that week. Global Equity Markets report covers single stocks from developed, emerging and frontier markets, ETF’s, select commodities, cryptocurrencies and global equity indices. The report starts with a review section that highlights the important chart developments on global equity benchmarks. This blog post features from the review section Russell 2000 Index.

If you have been struggling with stocks being choppy with frequent false breakouts, the chart below might explain the last several months lackluster performance. Russell 2000 Index has been range bound since February 2021. The index formed a well-defined consolidation range that can act as a bullish continuation as well as a top reversal. Rectangle chart pattern can act as a top reversal. The lower boundary of the well-defined consolidation is forming support at 2,100 levels with the 200-day moving average acting as another layer of support at 2,110 levels. When a well-defined, several times tested horizontal boundary overlaps with a long-term average (my preference is the 200-day EMA), I call these inflection points. Inflection points are important technical areas where we can expect a rebound or a breakdown that can result in a strong directional move. In other words those areas of “change”.

Russell 2000 Index is now very close to the lower boundary of its multi-month long consolidation. Breakdown can target 1,870 levels. A rebound from the strong support area can result in a re-test of the upper boundary at 2,360 levels.
