When the index is cap weighted, a few large stocks (FAANG) can carry the index while the rest of the market is struggling. It’s not new:

ALL that means is small caps+ mid caps are/maybe more of a roller coaster...........................................................................................................
[2] That's easy\different companies tend to do better \LUV > DAL, over time ;
tech stocks tend to outperform /even if 2021 is an exception to rule.
Wisdom is profitable to direct.........................................................................
I've noticed the words ''bubble, tech wreck, irational ex... overvalued, over sold + overbought'' seldom mean much@ all, or means some missed the move + likes to explain it a way/LOL

It’s considered to be a bearish indicator.

Is there an index that excludes the FAANGM + Tesla?

(There are what, 6-7000 stocks traded? Yet the perception of "the market" is way heavily weighted in these 7 stocks.)

Finance and small cap weakness is a bearish lead indicator. I trade TZA

That small caps will go back up soon!

That small caps will go back up soon!

Or it means there is a rotation from value (small) into growth (big)?

just trade simply.
Just long the market &
short the small caps/bigger stocks.

don't analyze too much and ended up suffering from
data analysis paralysis.

Let the professional writers do the analysis,
and we just trade based on what we see from the charts.

Rationalising/reasoning and trading don't mix.
