Ichimoku Chart Review for SPX and RUT

Review of last week closing for SPX and RUT to start the week.

Both SPX and RUT exhibit bearish signals from the candlesticks despite the Ichimoku has not indicate it.

Russell 2000 (RUT) : Overbought

From the Ichimoku chart, we can see that RUT is very overbought now.

The price level is far off the Tenkan sen. Or put it another way, Tenkan sen has trouble keeping up with the rise of RUT.

Russell 2000 (RUT) : Follow up on Watching RUT

This is a follow up post on my previous RUT reading.

Following on my RUT reading, I decided to established a Vertical March Call Spread at 630/640

The rationale is that I have already ride on some profits from my Vertical March Put Spread at 570/580

If RUT does goes higher, I will suffer some losses on my CALL Spread. And I will remove it once it reaches a certain level.

But, if RUT fails to goes higher or reverse, I will be able to close off my PUT Spread and let the CALL rides the way down.

Writing this post helps to crystalize my thoughts.

My next step is to :

- Watch how RUT reacts to the rate hike.

- Establish stop levels for my MARCH CALL Spread.
