It\u2019s a snapshot of the historical battle between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever ticker is in the numerator (the one you type first) is the one that\u2019s winning if the chart is trending up\u2026 and the ticker that\u2019s typed second (i.e., the denominator) is winning if the chart is trending down.&nbsp; I add a 150-day moving average to all my RS charts, just to have a line-in-the-sand below (or above) which to determine which investment is in the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can actually execute one of these on your own, for free, at StockCharts.com.&nbsp; Just take the first symbol, add a colon, and then type the second symbol, and what will pop up is the RS chart.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>(Nerd\u2019s Note:&nbsp; You\u2019ll want to change it to a line chart if it pops up as a bar or candlestick chart, then turn off the volume indicator, and add a 150MA to make it look like this one, but hopefully that helps).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But anyway, back to the chart \u2013 and what we see here is, since COVID, there have been a few short periods of small cap outperformance over the S&amp;P500, but nothing sustainable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Today, however, I\u2019m seeing a lower top in the RS chart below, so a short-term downtrend, combined with a second drop below the 150MA\u2026 and if you combine this relative action with the absolute price action of small caps, this is looking like a good entry point<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"561\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/SPX-vs.-IWM_1-1100x561.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-235922 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/SPX-vs.-IWM_1-1100x561.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/SPX-vs.-IWM_1-700x357.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/SPX-vs.-IWM_1-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/SPX-vs.-IWM_1-768x392.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/SPX-vs.-IWM_1-1536x783.png 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/SPX-vs.-IWM_1.png 1581w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;

out from the icy, (polar) bearish water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"598\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/USD-1100x598.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-235925 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/USD-1100x598.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/USD-700x381.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/USD-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/USD-768x418.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/USD.png 1482w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;
