Daily Market Commentary: Russell 2000 Testing Former Support

With the S&P and Nasdaq trending in the middle of their upward channels it was left to the Russell 2000 to offer something of interest.

The Russell 2000 rallied to take it to former support turned resistance. At Monday's close there is limited upside unless supply at the channel is breached. Technicals are all bullish so it may be a slow reversal, starting with a doji (or some form of indecision) tomorrow.

Tomorrow offers some potential for bears in the Russell 2000 at channel resistance, but trend followers are likely to stay long.
