Small-cap Russell 2000 (US2000) is the best performing US index today. However, gains on US2000 were erased after release of the better-than-expected services ISM data for August. Taking a look at US2000 at D1 interval, we can see that the head and shoulders pattern on the index is still in play and the right shoulder has been painted recently. A key zone to watch should index continue to drop can be found in the 1,850 pts area, marked with previous price reactions, 200-session moving average (purple line) and neckline of the SHS pattern. A break below may trigger a deeper decline with a textbook range of around 170 points.
