Russell 2000 Outperforms S&P 500 for 10 Straight Sessions, Longest Since 1990: Small Caps +7.5% vs Large Caps +1.3% Drives IWM/SPY Rotation

According to @KobeissiLetter, the Russell 2000 has outperformed the S&P 500 for 10 consecutive sessions, the longest run since 1990, with small caps up 7.5% over the period versus 1.3% for large caps (source: @KobeissiLetter). This indicates a multi-decade-extreme phase of small-cap relative momentum that traders can express via long IWM versus short SPY or by overweighting small-cap exposure, while managing mean-reversion risk after a 10-day streak (source: @KobeissiLetter). For crypto-focused desks, the source documents an equity risk-on episode in small caps but provides no direct crypto data; any BTC or altcoin correlation assessment should be derived from internal models rather than assumed (source: @KobeissiLetter).
