I think the Russell 2000 gets stuck here, says Worth Charting's Carter Worth

Group 1 - The Russell 2000 index, which includes 1,956 small-cap stocks, recently reached a record high, but there are concerns about its ability to maintain this momentum [1][2] - The total market capitalization of the Russell 2000 is approximately $3.43 trillion, which is less than major companies like Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft [1] - Adjusted for inflation, the Russell 2000 is down 15% compared to its levels four years ago, indicating a lack of growth [2] Group 2 - The Russell 2000 has been a chronic underperformer compared to the S&P 500 since its inception in January 1984, challenging the notion that small-cap stocks generally outperform [3] - The index has shown poor relative performance, particularly when the broader market has been rising, suggesting that small-cap stocks may not be a necessary component of investment portfolios [4]
