Russell Index ($RUT) could test 1083 near the 200 day MA soon


 $RUT daily chart

For RUT, since it broke and closed below the rising trendline (linking 1010/1083 lows), the first target now is 1083 area near the 50-week MA (i.e. 200 day MA on the daily chart). It was back in the summer of 2011 when RUT seriously broke through the 200 day MA and tested and the bull channel support from 2009 low. The other times it broke the 200 day MA but quickly reversed above it. It could do that again here this time: it first consolidates between the 200 day and 50 day MAs before sliding through and go for the bull channel support as shown on the weekly chart. Or it could break through the 200 day MA quickly and go for the bull channel support. Let’s see how it reacts here this week.

$RUT weekly chart


As shown on the weekly chart, once the 200 day MA is broken, 943 near the bull channel support (right above the 200 week MA and also near 38.2% retracement of the 602/1213 rise @ 975) could be potentially tested. That could be a good buying area. That is about another 15% decline from last Friday’s close at 1111.0.
