Chart of the Day
Russell 3000 – which presents essentially all equities – up 2 days in a row. It hasn’t been up more than that since August 25. Happens all the time in uptrends (shading). Also a chance for RSI to get back above neutral (top panel). Looking at you Mr Thursday pic.twitter.com/ne0Rvmat5R

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Urban Carmel (@ukarlewitz). It’s a daily candlestick chart of the Russell 3000 ($IWV) over the past nine months. The Russell 3000 is one of the broadest stock market indices, as it represents 98% of all investable US Equities. As of today’s close, the index is up two days in a row, but it hasn’t been up three days in a row since the end of August. As Urban points out, three-day winning streaks are almost exclusively found during uptrends. The index has been trending lower for more than a month now, but one more up day tomorrow would be a sign that the index is attempting to make a new leg higher.

Sometimes it is this simple. Rotations happen on the way down. Breadth in other sectors are improving. This put in a higher low on the equal weight SPX. pic.twitter.com/0LjqRRkIrw
