Small Caps Still Underwater; Still Fighting Bears

You can dismiss it all you want, but the small caps in the Russell 2000 continue to be a major thorn in the side of bulls looking for a clean resumption of a healthy uptrend.

Simply put, small caps continue to get rejected from the 200-day moving average from underneath it.

With the small cap ETF, seen below on the daily timeframe, threatening to lose the midpoint of yesterday’s price range there is now a serious danger of trapped buyers finally starting to panic and scramble for the exits all at once.

Needless to say, the close will be critical, once again. Another bear trap? V-shape?

The descending triangle I have highlighted for you in light blue is very much in play as a breakdown pattern.
