One of the relative trends we must regularly evaluate is the relationship between large-caps and small-caps.
Sometimes large-caps outperform. Other times, it’s the little guys leading the way.
This ratio tells us which ones we should be focusing on.
The chart below shows the Russell 1000 Large-Cap ETF (IWB) relative to the Russell 2000 Small-Cap ETF (IWM) breaking out of a monster-basing formation.
