To really kick off a massive small cap momentum cycle, we usually need a true 500–1000% runner first.
That’s what brings the attention, liquidity, and FOMO back into the sector. One stock goes completely parabolic, volume floods in, and then money starts rotating into sympathy plays across the market.
But right now we’re just not seeing that kind of environment yet.
SPY is pushing fresh highs while small caps are still mostly lagging behind. We’ve had a few names put up solid 30–40%+ days, but nothing that’s really sparked a broad momentum wave.
The volume still tells the story:
Jul 22 2026 — 19,019,800
Jul 21 2026 — 18,190,200
Jul 20 2026 — 20,539,900
Jul 17 2026 — 28,738,500
Jul 16 2026 — 24,081,300
Jul 15 2026 — 18,832,700
Jul 14 2026 — 18,326,900
Jul 13 2026 — 19,375,500
Jul 10 2026 — 15,888,500
Jul 9 2026 — 16,466,800
When you start consistently getting into that 60–70M+ range, that’s usually when you see multiple runners going 100%+
