• The Russell 2000 broke out to an all-time high today, gaining +1.4%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both closed lower.
   
• Regional Banks ($KRX) and Homebuilders ($XHB) each gained more than +3%, boosting the Russell 2000, while $NVDA, $AVGO, and other Mag 7 names weighed on the large-cap indices.
   
• $IWM was on the verge of a Failed Breakout after last week’s decline, but the damage has been repaired, and the index is once again emerging from a four-year Cup & Handle pattern after shaking out the weak hands. 
   

The Takeaway: The Russell 2000 ($IWM) recovered to all-time highs ahead of its large-cap peers today, reviving a long-awaited breakout for Small-Caps.
