Russell 2000, a mature rally hugging the highs: +13.88% and two areas already trimmed

The Russell 2000 is hugging its all-time high, just over 1 percentage point from the peak. The weekly bullish signal is in its 12th week and has already carried the trade to +13.88% from entry. Two of the three profit-taking windows are now behind us and Signal Strength recalibrates to 38 out of 100: the uptrend is intact, but the cycle is in an advanced phase and calls for careful management rather than a fresh push.
