Chart of the Day

🏆 Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Mike Zaccardi (@MikeZaccardi).

  • Today was a tale of two markets as Small Caps and Large Caps aggressively moved in opposite directions.
  • The Russell 2000 ($IWM) had its best day since October, rising +3.57%, while the Nasdaq 100 ($QQQ) had its worst day since October, dropping -2.24% from a record high after rising for seven consecutive days.
  • Mike points out that $IWM outperformed $QQQ by nearly +6% today, marking the widest spread in more than two decades. This ratio reached an all-time low yesterday, but today’s historic outperformance suggests a potential reversal.

The Takeaway: The Russell 2000 ($IWM) outperformed the Nasdaq ($QQQ) by the widest margin since 2001 today. This could start a healthy rotation into Small Caps as the Nasdaq digests its recent gains.

Quote of the Day
