Good morning, Traders! It’s time for your Daily Direction update.
We’re back analyzing the E-mini Russell 2000 (RTY), which is showing bullish direction for both the short-term and long-term outlooks.
Remember, the RTY futures market tracks the Russell 2000 Index, which measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index, in turn, measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization.
Based on what we’re seeing in the RTY, the overall market is still inside the up channel. Let’s dive in and take a closer look!
