Afternoon Note
Investors are nibbling today, casting a line in the small cap pond. The Russell 2000 is showing signals of a turnaround, making it perfect for quiet accumulation.
The IWM ETF is retaking its 50-day moving average, hitting a five-week high with key resistance at 177.83.

All eleven sectors are higher, led by Communication Services, and followed closely by Materials. The mega cap names are all gaining, while the Utilities sector is the weakest performer.
