As with any trade, I can’t guarantee this one will pan out but I can say with conviction that shorting a rally into resistance with stops somewhat above is objective but again, whether & by how much the small-caps drop from here will likely depend on how much longer the breakout on the large-caps sticks.

Another factor for the small-caps is the rate on the 10-yr Treasury bond, as small-caps stocks are more sensitive to rising & falling rates than large cap stocks. Additionally, the stock market remains highly correlated to EUR/USD and as such, continued upside in the stock market will likely coincide with a lift in EUR/USD which would likely translate into a rally in the (also correlated) precious metals & miners. As such, longs on the other asset classes that are positively correlated to the Euro (i.e.- negatively correlated to $USD) are likely (not guaranteed but likely) to be effective as indirect hedges to any stock index shorts.
