Large caps have dominated for nearly a decade. Small caps had a brief moment in 2021, but since then, the S&amp;P has kept the upper hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, that ratio is pressing on a key support line. If small caps start to outperform and push the ratio lower, it could signal a real shift in leadership. For portfolios, that could mean diversifying away from the mega-cap names that have driven so much of the market\u2019s returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk in staying concentrated is simple: leadership rotates. The companies that have worked so well in recent years may not always be the ones that lead. Small caps, with their growth potential and sensitivity to the U.S. economy, could be the next place where returns show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t about abandoning large caps, it\u2019s about balance. If that support line breaks, it may be the market telling us it\u2019s time to give small caps another look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2\">2\/<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Russell 2000 at a Crossroads<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"626\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch2-1100x626.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-230536 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch2-1100x626.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch2-700x398.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch2-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch2-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch2.png 1127w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/626;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Russell 2000 is once again testing overhead resistance that dates back to the COVID era. While the S&amp;P 500 has gone on to make new highs, small caps have repeatedly failed at this same level, first in 2021, then again in late 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re right back there now. If the Russell can break through, it would confirm that small caps are starting to close the long-standing gap against large caps. That kind of breakout could bring new momentum into the space and reward portfolios that have some exposure to smaller companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that there are deregulatory tail winds that can potentially be the catalyst that helps small caps break out in this cycle compared to the previous cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if it fails again, it reinforces the same pattern we\u2019ve seen for years, large caps leading, small caps lagging. That\u2019s why this moment matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s less about predicting the outcome and more about staying alert. Markets move in cycles. If small caps get going, the leadership baton could finally start to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3\">3\/<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ethereum and the Risk Signal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"977\" height=\"653\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-230537 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch3.png 977w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch3-700x468.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch3-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/9.15.25-Chart-Adv-Ch3-768x513.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 977px; aspect-ratio: 977\/653;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin may get most of the attention, but Ethereum deserves a look right now. After a strong rally, it\u2019s back at resistance we last saw in 2021. At the same time, support isn\u2019t far below. That leaves Ethereum stuck in a tight range, and given how crypto trades, it probably won\u2019t stay there long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A breakout above resistance could open the door to new highs. A breakdown could send it back to 3,000 or even 1,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why does this matter for equity investors? Because crypto often serves as a proxy for risk appetite. If Ethereum breaks higher, it suggests investors are willing to take on more risk, something that could spill over into small caps. If it breaks lower, it points to a more cautious tone, potentially keeping leadership with the large, established names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethereum won\u2019t decide where stocks go, but it\u2019s one more piece of the puzzle. Watching crypto alongside the S&amp;P 500 and Russell 2000 gives us a better sense of where the next leg of market leadership may come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally posted 15th September 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0Todd Stankiewicz CMT, CFP, ChFC 1\/\u00a0S&amp;P 500 vs. Russell 2000 &#8211; Time for Small Caps? 2\/\u00a0Russell 2000 at a Crossroads 3\/\u00a0Ethereum and the Risk Signal Investopedia is partnering with CMT Association on this newsletter. \u00a0The contents of this newsletter are for informational and educational purposes only, however, and do not constitute investing advice.
