Russell 2000 – Clear Elliott Wave Pattern

The Russell 2000 (RUT) Elliott wave count from 03/28/24 to 04/24/24 implies more downside action.

The one – hour RUT chart courtesy of Trading View shows what’s been happening.

The RUT decline from 03/28/24 to 04/19/24 was an extended Elliott Impulse wave.  The subsequent rally was  a three – wave  correction topping almost exactly at a Fibonacci .382 retracement of the 03/28/24 to 04/19/24 decline.  Note the hourly RSI reached the boundary of the overbought zone and was  its highest level since the 03/28/24 peak.

Within the 03/28/24 to 04/19/24 decline Minute wave “v” is .618 of Minute wave “i” which is a common Fibonacci relationship between waves “one” and “five”.

Minute wave “iii” is the longest and also has a clear five – wave subdivision. 

If the wave count is correct it implies a decline down to at least the 04/19/24 bottom.   More likely is a move below the 04/19/24 bottom, possibly to the 1,760 area.

Fibonacci time analysis targets a turn on either 05/02/24 or 05/03/24.  The next FOMC interest rate announcement is 05/01/24. 

Traders are 100% short non – leveraged RUT funds from the 04/01/24 open.  Continue holding short.
