The divergence in the action between the Russell 2000 (IWM), and the S&P and Nasdaq continues. 
Pixabay If the Russell 2000 could go on to tag its 200-day MA, particularly if it’s done on a bullish reversal candlestick, then there would be a good trade opportunity on offer here. Even a rally from here might be enough if there is a tight stop. 
There is less joy to be found in the S&P. Fibonacci retracement levels haven’t offered much support yet and the 200-day MA is a long, long way away. Despite that, the index has still managed to surge in relative performance against the Nasdaq…
The Nasdaq accelerated its losses with a 2% loss. Support at 15,150 may offer a respite, but bulls would need to bid this up early in the week if this was to play as support.
There isn’t a whole lot on offer for optimists, but if the Russell 2000 can stick around current levels there may be a trade opportunity. It will probably take some stop-gap candlestick in the S&P and Nasdaq to offer the incentive for the Small Cap trade. When this time comes, lows for new trading ranges will be established across these lead indices.More By This Author:Russell 2000 Resists Extending Losses As Crash Conditions ReachedFifty-Day MAs Offer Little Support As Indices Seek Swing Lows Apple Comes In From The Cold
