RUSSELL 2000 SC FUTURES (@RTY) – Daily

Currently: Long Looking to: Sell @ 2,670

As of 3/21/21 @ 7:58pm EST: 2,278.80

LAST WEEK: We suggested buying between 2,275 and 2,300 with an upside target of 2,670.

UPDATE: Small caps had a tough day Thursday along with the rest of the equity space.

However, we believe they may have set a short-term bottom that day and that they could be on their way to new highs near 2,670.

Buy between 2,250 and 2,300 and hold for a move up to 2,670.
