Key Insights Summary

RTY is testing the 3071.8 swing-high resistance area after a sharp August recovery from the 2902.3 pivot low. The broader daily structure remains constructive: both pivot trends are up, price is above the 20, 55, 100, and 200 day benchmarks, and the monthly and yearly fib-grid structures remain positive. Short-term conditions are more mixed because the weekly grid remains down and the recent short-term signals coincide with price pressing into prior highs. Small bars near resistance indicate consolidation and reduced momentum rather than a broad daily trend reversal.
