Russell 2000 Now Sitting On The End Of The Wall Street Diving Board—-Aka, Its 200 Day Moving Average And 5-Year Support

By Tyler Durden At Zero Hedge

US equity price action warns of trouble, BofAML’s Macneil Curry warns. Since the start of this year, Tuesdays have consistently resulted in positive returns for US equities; but this week’s failure to follow through with that pattern, coupled with the Russell 2000’s first close below the 200-day moving-average since November 2012, warns of trouble ahead.

 

Indeed, the Russell is dangerously close to completing a 4 month “Head-and-Shoulders Top”. A close below 1099 is needed to complete the pattern, exposing significant downside to 1057 (5-year trendline), ahead of 988/975 (Head-and-Shoulders obj.).
