Russell 2000 Eyes Bullish Reversal; S&P 500, Nasdaq Bounce Off Key Support

It was a good finish for the () as the index closed the day with a bullish 'hammer' at its 50-day MA. Taken in combination with yesterday's red candlestick makes a bullish harami,Forex exclusive trading platform download a reliable reversal pattern.

The appearance of this candlestick when intermediate stochastics [39,1] are at the midline is another bullish marker. The only negative against a possible bullish day today is the fresh 'sell' trigger in the MACD.

The was able to bounce from its 20-day MA and horizontal support around 15,150.

As for negatives, there was a new MACD 'sell' to go with an underperformance switch against the . Yesterday's buying also fell well short of yesterday's selling distribution.

The S&P 500 finished with a paired reversal that undid yesterday's selling.

The S&P 500 is the index most likely to make new all-time highs, but has the smallest trade potential to close Tuesday's breakdown gap.

New secular bull markets are in the making for the S&P 500, Nasdaq and (eventually) the Russell 2000.

It's hard to fight the tape and with the election coming up later this year we can look for further gains.
