Both $Micro E-mini Russell 2000 Index Futures(SEP4)(M2Kmain.US)$ and $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$ just broke out from the re-accumulation structure while $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ and Nasdaq travels within a well define up channel and currently hit the channel's overbought line. Would we see a rotation from the S&P 500 and $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US)$ to the Russell and the Dow Jones?
Let's focus on the daily chart of the Russell 2000 index futures (RTY) as shown below:
An apex formation has formed since July 2021 and there is something unusual about this triangle pattern. Normally, while the price is consolidating within the triangle (forming lower high and higher low), we will notice decreasing of the volume together with the contraction of the volatility (e.g. the price spread of the candles are getting smaller from left to right hand side of the triangle).
In this case, despite the volatility is getting lower, the volume is expanding on every down wave, suggesting lots of selling. Yet, what's the results? A higher low throughout from Aug till Nov 2021. This suggests that there was supply absorption going on while the selling happened.
This is very constructive for a bullish scenario because the "strong hands" step in to support the price on every reaction and to scoop up the bargain.
At the end of Oct 2021, there is an attempt to breakout of both the triangle and the horizontal resistance at 2310 followed by a shallow pullback and reversal, which marks the last point of support (LPS) of the accumulation structure before the sign of strength rally breaks above the structure. The supply level is especially low from the previous reaction suggests that the absorption is completed and ready to markup.
As heavy supply has been absorbed within the triangle pattern, we might not expect a backup action coming back to test the axis line where the resistance-turned-support around 2310–2370, instead the backup action could happen at higher ground.
The breakout of the Russell 2000 gives the first confirmation of the scenario of possible rotation from big cap stocks to small cap stocks.
