The Bear Case Starts With Small-caps

If these indexes are above their June highs, then I think putting on short positions makes little sense, and looking for stocks to buy makes more sense.
However, below that and I believe it presents a problem for the overall trend. Laggards, breaking down and dragging the market lower is characteristic of a market where we are usually being rewarded for selling stocks, not buying them.
As series of lower lows is NOT a characteristic of an uptrend.
So the way I see it, if $IWM is below 150 and $IWC is below 90, we want to be spending more time looking for short positions.
Let's see how we close out the week, but that's what's on my radar.
What do you think? Let us know!
