Small-cap stocks have been out of favor versus the major mega-cap indices for many years. The S&P Small Cap 600 (SML) has underperformed the S&P 500 (SPX) since August 2018. There was a short period after the pandemic (9/2020-2/2021) when the SML beat the SPX, but nothing more. Currently, the SML is working on an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern and is close to completing this bullish formation, so we are seeing some life from this unloved area. But before you start selling your large-cap indices and putting money into the little guys, a lot more evidence is needed. The SML soared 19.6% in 27 days off the April 8 closing low. Historically, condensed gains off major bottoms have a mixed record of success when looking at future returns as well as future relative strength versus the SPX. At the close on June 9, the SML was at the same level as it was in early 2021. So the small-cap index has been in a volatile trading range for just over four years. The index did break its downtrend off its last peak in late 2024, but remains below its 200-day and 50-week averages. Bullishly, we did see a breadth thrust on the SML as the percentage of stocks in the index that are above their 50-day average has jumped to 77% from just 8% at the end of March. These small-cap thrusts often have led to decent performance in the months that followed. Daily momentum is bullish, as the moving-average convergence/divergence (MACD) is crossing above its signal line, the 14-day relative strength index is in an uptrend, and the Vortex Indicator is close to turning bullish.
