Will the RTY Downtrend Continue?

The Russell 2000 (RTY) futures market looks set for continued bearish movement.

This index, which tracks the performance of small-cap stocks, has been stuck in a down trend for the last two weeks.

However, it is still at a low price. If it can make it back to the downtrend line, that could be a good place to start looking for more downside.

So, let’s take a look at the vulnerable RTY market and see how a bear trade might set up down the road…

Return to the Downtrend Line?

The RTY hourly time frame is in a down trend. The market is making lower lows and lower highs.

Entry: Counter trend line break bearish near the downtrend line.

Stop: In the buy zone above the entry.

Limit: 1,813.90

Once or if the market gives the entry, it will be a good idea to turn to the five minute time frame and look for Tunnel Trader / Destination Trader / Chandelier Trader short ideas towards the one hour down Fibonacci price target 1,813.90.

The Bottom Line
