After an out-of-the-gate rally on Monday that lasted all day and closed at its highs, Tuesday was marked by some hand sitting as majorU.S.equity indices digested the massive 9% gains in the case of the S&P 500 of the past six trading days. The Russell 2000, much like the S&P 500, has rallied sharply off last week's lows and sits just below its 50-day simple moving average and at a downtrend line measured off the September highs. On the hourly chart, note that the stochastics are overbought and a measure Fibonacci retracement of between 50% and 61.8% would bring this small-cap index down to the 635 to 650 area. Given the sharp rally off the lows from last week, it currently looks like those levels should hold as support and then give way to higher levels for the next six to seven weeks or so. A good chart to watch for risk-taking appetite is that of the AUD/USD forex cross rate. I have flagged this currency cross often in recent weeks and said that a move lower would be bearish for equities. Last week, the AUD/USD left a long weekly tail on its chart and found support right at a crucial support level on oversold stochastics. For now this is bullish not only for the AUD/USD but also for equities.
