A rocket ship made of small coins or tiny stock certificates blasts upward against a bright summer sky, leaving a trail of ascending green chart lines in its wake. The scene captures the explosive energy of small-cap stocks breaking out, with the rocket dwarfed by a vast blue sky, symbolizing the massive upside potential ahead. Warm summer sunlight bathes the scene, reinforcing the "small-cap summer" theme while the dynamic upward motion immediately signals bullish market momentum.

Hey, Ross here:

Welcome to the first day of the new quarter.

Let’s kick it off with a question…

Are you ready for a small-cap summer?

In yesterday’s newsletter, I shared how small-caps are having their best year in 35 years.

Today, let’s see why that could be set to continue.

Chart of the Day

This is the iShares Microcap ETF breaking out to new all-time highs in the past two days.

Microcap stocks have market caps below $250 million.

In other words, they’re tiny, risky, highly-volatile stocks.

And now, they’ve just broken out to new highs.

What does that tell you about what’s in store for their “bigger” small-cap cousins?

It means risk appetite is strong

And we can see that by things like small-cap tech stocks also blasting off to new highs – even as the Magnificent 7 flounders.

So, like I said – get ready for a small-cap summer.

But let me warn you first…

It’s not going to be a smooth ride.

Insight of the Day

I expect to see a lot of rotations within small-cap sectors before the summer is over.

As I’ve said before, small-caps are just not a good “buy and hold” proposition.

They’re just too volatile for that.

There’s a reason why most long-term investors stick with large-cap indexes like the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq 100.

Small caps require a trader’s mentality…

Especially considering that Q3 is looking like it’ll be a lot more volatile than Q2.

So I expect to see a lot of rotations within small-cap sectors before the summer is over.

That means while small-cap tech may be breaking out right now…

Next week it may be something different – like maybe small-cap financials or industrials.

So if you want to take full advantage of this “small-cap summer”…

Then you need to be able to quickly move from breakout to breakout.

That’s why later this afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern…

I’m going LIVE to show you how to identify the #1 breakout pattern of all time…

A setup that’s been used by the top traders in history…

A setup that has identified stocks that have exploded 270% in 70 days… 177% in 11 days… even 148% in just 2 days.

In the small-cap world, things move even faster than normal…

And this is the pattern that will allow you to move from one breakout to another.

So make sure you click here to guarantee your free spot if you haven’t already…

And I’ll see you later this afternoon at 3 p.m. ET sharp.

P.S. If you’re planning to attend on a mobile device, make sure you download the presentation app now so you don’t miss anything when it starts. See you there.
