Out With the Old, In With the New
Out with the Mag 7, in with the Russell 2000. IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) is breaking out to all-time highs with barely a peep from the mainstream media, while the Mag 7 struggle to gain momentum.
It’s not just small caps leading the charge. RSP (the Equal Weight S&P 500 ETF) is also breaking out above ATHs on meaningful volume. This signals a clear regime shift: move over Mag 7, the other 493 stocks in the S&P and the 2,000 stocks in the Russell want their shot at prime time. AKA: Rotation.
For the next few weeks, my focus is on anything but NVDA, META, MSFT, AMZN, NFLX, GOOG, and TSLA. Instead, I am looking at everything else.
I remain keen on high-beta names, specifically in quantum and energy (QSI, QBTS, IREN, EOSE). Other small-cap names look excellent as well (JOBY, OPEN, ACHR).
Beyond equities, Crypto looks ready after a tumultuous few months. BTC looks especially primed for a move higher; price is getting tight on the daily with multiple closes above the 8 and 21 EMAs. The last step for BTC to march toward 99k–103k is a clean break through 94,300.
