RUT Hourly

A late afternoon gap fill on the hourly today, lots of bulls out to play.

That created a straight move up in the afternoon that will have a hard time supporting if the price decides to retrace tomorrow.

The hourly 200MA was strong support and price closed back above the 20MA on the daily. Tomorrow will be a fun one.

RUT: Ho Hum

Here's a 5 year weekly chart that will put things in perspective.

Just another 350 points to go until it's back to the highs. Maybe it will make the entire climb back up without a pullback. (With nine weeks straight up without a pull back, the probabilities for a pull back start to stack up). But, no evidence of a reversal yet. It's still cranking.

RUT: Hello 38.2%

Well it took 2 months, but Thursday's close got to within 45 cents of the 38.2% fib level after shooting up with nothing more then 1 and 2 day pullbacks along the way.

The price is still holding up nicely above the uptrending 8MA and is now only about 40 points away from the overhead-downtrending 200MA. This 200MA seems to be acting as a magnet now as often does.

The move is still strong as long as it continues to close above the 8MA. A break of the 8MA and then we'll have to watch the see how it reacts to the 20MA.
