Summary
The Russell 2000 just surged 3.1% in five days while the Nasdaq slipped. Lucas and Luna dig into why this small-cap rally looks different from previous rotation plays — and what day traders should watch for when ETF rebalancing meets a SpaceX-driven risk appetite. They break down the mechanics of the Russell annual reconstitution, the role of VWAP bands in catching the move, and why the VIX at 17.68 is not telling the whole story. Plus: how one specific order-flow pattern on IWM helped Lucas size into a winning swing. #Russell2000 #DayTrading #SmallCaps #ETFReconstitution #VWAP #IWM #SpaceX #Volatility #VIX #Nasdaq #MarketRotation #SPY #OrderFlow #TradingStrategy #Finance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
