Downside Protection

The downside architecture for Russell index features support zones rooted in prior buying activity. These are not arbitrary lines but areas where real capital has previously been committed.

The reliability of support under consolidating conditions is shaped by the interplay between volatility regime and historical volume at each level.

Resistance Zone Context

In the current market state, resistance zones remain key decision points.
