Floors & Demand Zones

Multi-Agent Confluence

What separates high-probability levels from noise is multi-discipline agreement. The key zones for RTY futures are those where technical structure aligns with institutional positioning and options market activity.

Normal volatility regime at 62nd percentile with inverted term structure requires wider stop placement near 2,800 major support, expect 50-80 point daily ranges expanding to 80-100 on Sep 23 PMI release day, the inverted term structure and extreme net short positioning signal catalyst-dependent binary outcome — range-trading between 2,860-2,900 with defined boundaries preferred until PMI data provides directional clarity, though the breakdown below 2,900 favors downside positioning with tighter stops
