RUT Showing Some Weakness

Despite spending most of the day in positive territory, the Russell 2000 finished the day with a weak close that ended up below the trendline we've been watching the last few weeks. The next key level to watch will be the 830 area. If we get a close tomorrow below 830 it would indicate some addition weakness and a failure of the recent uptrend. The overall sentiment is still bullish so lets watch to see if we get some more positive earnings this week and/or we get some more merger news to lift the market.

Reminder that the Fed's Beige Book comes out on Wednesday at 11:00 Pacific Time -- this moved the market up swiftly last time it came out so be aware that it can be a market mover... (no way of telling how the data will be taken until the market reacts to it so just be conscious of it)
