My post this week for TraderPlanet this week takes a look at the relationship between small caps ($IWM) and large cap stocks ($SPY).
Here’s a piece:

However as the RSI indicator shows in the top panel, there was a divergence taking place in momentum. We eventually saw a slight correction in March and April with SPY strong-arming its small cap colleague as RSI broke through support around the same time the ratio between IWM and SPY broke its rising trend line.
