The US stock market continues to vacillate up and down, with the start of today’s session showing some upside across the indexes.
But one index that’s in an identified downtrend in a trading channel is the Russell 2000.
This index tracks the smaller stocks in the US market, and we’ve found a lot of success here in the past.
