U.S. equities face headwinds as 2026 kicks off. The S&P 500 stumbled last week against smaller-cap stocks in the Russell 2000—marking the steepest underperformance spread since November 2024. Large-cap tech and mega-cap dominance is losing steam. Meanwhile, the shift toward value and small-cap exposure is gaining traction. For traders monitoring macro conditions, this rotation signals potential volatility in how capital flows between different risk profiles.

The market crash this time was quite clean. Are small caps about to turn around?

Wow, the market is finally starting to loosen up. Tech stocks can't sustain this dominance anymore, right?

The market is declining, small caps are rising, feeling like funds are rotating? Could this rotation again turn into a scythe game?

The market rotation has begun, small caps suddenly gaining momentum. This wave is quite interesting, and the arbitrage opportunities accumulated earlier are now being unleashed.

NGL, the overall market performance this time really sucks. Are small caps making a comeback? A bunch of mega caps are still in a daze.

The market can't hold up anymore, are small caps rising? Now small investors have a chance.

The market declined for a week while small caps rose. This rotation might once again shake out a batch of people.
