Chart of the Day

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Mike Zaccardi (@MikeZaccardi). The Russell 2000 ($IWM) gained +1.1% today, while the other indices were flat or lower. It closed at a five-month low last week, but it’s rebounding off support at $170 again. Mike points out that $IWM has formed a bullish momentum divergence, as price made a lower low on Friday, while RSI made a higher low. $IWM also registered a Death Cross on Friday, with its 50-day moving average (blue) slipping beneath its 200-day (red). Despite the spooky name, Death Crosses have historically been bullish. Seasonality might be the cherry on top here, as Small-Caps historically begin to outperform Large-Caps in late October. If Small-Caps finally join the party, it will further confirm the new bull market.

4. The short-term holder realized price, essentially the AVWAP for on-chain data, is also providing an important signal.

Price is breaking above the STHRP, which is a key characteristic of an uptrend & it has a history of acting as dynamic support.
