I’ve been saying it for weeks — I needed confirmation before diving into small caps. Now I’ve got it.
After watching how the Russell 2000 responded to headline-driven volatility and held the 200-day moving average like a champ, I believe the breakout is real. Price dipped right to that key level this week, bounced hard, and rallied.
That kind of technical behavior is not what you see in a weak or indecisive market.
I said I’d wait for a trend, and this week gave me the signal I needed.
The Confirmation I Was Looking For
This wasn’t just a random pop — it was a decisive response to a two-way news break. Markets absorbed the chaos, shook it off, and small caps surged. That’s what strength looks like.
While others may still be waiting for the 2,300 level on the Russell to clear, I’m not. I’m seeing the price action for what it is — a confirmation that the tide is turning.
We’ve tested support. We’ve held. We’re grinding higher with momentum.
What This Means for My Positioning
I’ve already started rotating exposure and building small-cap positions now that the breakout is in motion. This isn’t a “wait and see” moment anymore — this is an “act now” setup.
No, I’m not going all in. But I’m getting long.
Small caps have lagged for months while the mega caps led the charge. But leadership rotates — and this move tells me the next wave is starting. I’d rather be early than late.
Let’s see where this goes.

P.S. Why I’m Making My Best Friend Trade for the First Time
Josiah, our Marketing Manager here at TradingPub, walked into my office some the other day…
And I slid a $1,000 check across the desk…
“Happy birthday in advance,” I said.
He picked it up, looked at it, and grinned.
“What’s the catch?”
You see, Josiah is a smart guy, and he knows me too well… We’ve been best friends since fifth grade.
The catch is simple… he has to use it to make his first real trade.
And I’m going to show him exactly how to turn it into $1,500 by Monday morning.
Here’s what makes this interesting…
Josiah’s been working around traders for years but never pulled the trigger himself.
He says he doesn’t know enough… doesn’t have the time to learn properly.
And that’s perfect for me.
Because what I’m about to show him takes 60 minutes MAX.
All he has to do is set it up at 10 a.m. ET… The market moves a few ticks, like it always does, and he walks out potentially with his profit.
It doesn’t matter if the underlying stock goes up or down.
This setup I’ll walk Josiah through has been working 87% of the time this year.
And at 7 p.m. ET this Sunday, I’m walking him through his very first trade…
Showing him why the market only needs to move a little bit for this to work.
And how someone starting with $1,000 could be looking at an extra $500 the very next morning.
Of course, we both know no one can guarantee returns or against losses, but…
I can’t wait to see Josiah’s face when he realizes how simple this actually is.
If you’d like to see how this trade works, and how you can tag along for his first trade…
