As an index of 2000 stocks, as goes the Russell, so goes the whole market:

Allow for a few days of chop up here and slight new highs, but it would be very pretty if the Russell never saw 630 again after this week. If you want a strong sell signal, wait for a twice or thrice tested top to form, for daily RSI to turn down, and for daily MACD to cross the zero line (red arrow).

Why does it look more done to you now than a few months ago? We’ve been kind of calling it a top for quite some time
Tim Knight’s sentence still resonates in my head “62.50 on IWM is a once in a lifetime shorting opportunity”… it’s the third time it’s breaching it steadily…
Don’t get me wrong, I hope you’re right. But I’m wondering what makes it more look like a top than the previous ones…

The others (early June, early/mid-Aug, the 3rd week of Sept, 3rd week of Oct, mid-Jan) *were* mostly tops — just temporary ones! As Bjorn was getting at, most technical analysis tools are particularly powerful on a short-term basis.
So if you get a swing trade like the above right, adjust your stops so that the worst you can do is make a modest amount of money or break even.

Russell is now back at 640… I was a bit suspicious and rightfully so it seems. What’s your opinion from here?
