US OPEN: Renewed optimism at the beginning of the week

The beginning of the week starts optimistically on the American stock exchange. Investor sentiment is clearly better, and the absence of macroeconomic readings allows investors to focus on positive company announcements.
The leader of growth among American indices is Russell2000, whose contracts are rising by about 0.8%. Smaller, yet still noticeable increases are recorded by US100, US500, and US30, where growth is limited to 0.4%.

Buyers managed to break the RGR formation, defending the FIBO 50 level and the EMA100 average. The next target is around 25,900, which must be exceeded to attempt testing all-time highs on the chart. If the supply wants to regain initiative, a quick return below FIBO 38.2 is necessary, from where an attempt could be made to pass through the EMA100 average to deepen the correction.
