Hey, Ross here:
Welcome to a new trading week.
Let’s kick it off by looking at a chart that could indicate when the next major rally starts.
Chart of the Day
This is a weekly chart of the equal-weight S&P 500 index (RSP) dating back the past three years. Basically, this chart is how the S&P 500 would look if every stock in the index were given equal weighting – instead of weighing them according to market cap.
Contrast this with how the regular S&P 500 (SPX) looks over the same time period…
And you can see that the SPX – which surpassed its January 2022 highs over a month ago – is leading the RSP…
Which looks about to – but hasn’t quite yet – broken out past its previous all-time high.
When you look at the outsized effect of the mega-cap stocks on the SPX, it makes perfect sense that the SPX is ahead of the RSP.
For the RSP to break out, we need to see stronger market participation.
And when the RSP breaks out, I believe that will be the sign of another strong – and sustainable – bull rally (a pullback will likely happen first).
But you don’t have to wait for the RSP to break out to start going after opportunities right now. I explain more in the Insight of the Day.
Insight of the Day
Just like how the SPX is leading the RSP, the leading stocks are already ahead of the rest.
The SPX is ahead of the RSP thanks to the effect of the biggest market leaders – the mega-cap tech stocks.
Similarly, the leading stocks in certain sectors have already caused them to pull away from the rest…
And those are the stocks we can target to go after fast profits right now.
Because let me ask you this – do you think the institutional investors are sitting around waiting?
They’re not. Their mandate means they have to actively buy. And this active buying is what creates these market leaders in the process…
Meaning if you know how to spot these signs of institutional buying, you could target these market leaders right as they break out.
Embrace the surge,
