Russell 2000 remains stuck under this 1900 area…$RTY_F $RUT $IWM pic.twitter.com/mdTsvNzek6

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Ian McMillan (@the_chart_life). The Russell 2000 has rebounded 9% after successfully testing long-term support. However, it’s still down more than 23%, and as Ian points out, it remains stuck under an important resistance level around 1900. This level was support in January, February, and March, but it eventually broke in April. It also coincides with the VWAP from the Covid lows (blue). If it can break above 1900, the next major resistance level is about 10% higher around 2100. If it gets rejected here, it would suggest further pain for the broader market. Either way, there will be some valuable information to be gleaned from how this test plays out.

Going thru charts, these 5 stood out:
1. Last week's rally triggered a couple of breadth thrusts. Here's one based on the 5-day advance/declines ratio, courtesy of the great Jim Stack. @NDR_Research 1/5 pic.twitter.com/NwZIex5eHs— Ed Clissold (@edclissold) May 31, 2022
Finding the floor for equities? The technical setup was pretty good for the May 21 low of 3810 to stick. The decline from the January 4th high was a clear A-B-C corrective pattern, and we saw several bullish divergences develop, including a higher low for meme stocks. pic.twitter.com/UGfzBWKUT9

The chart to watch for 2022? Still $TNX I believe. Very interesting to see value hang in with growth just fine as ten-year pulled back to 50-day moving average last week. Pause that refreshes before the next leg higher? pic.twitter.com/PNC0UEstbO
