This year's rally is no longer just a megacap story. Now the calendar is pushing back.
The S&P 500 Equal-Weighted Index (^SP500EW) is up about 15% in 2026, beating the roughly 12% gain for the standard S&P 500 (^GSPC).
That distinction is useful here. The standard S&P 500 gives its biggest companies the most influence, while the equal-weight version gives each stock the same weight. In other words, it is a better look at how the average S&P 500 stock is doing.
And lately, the average stock has been doing quite well. The broader rally has helped push some of Wall Street's riskiest trades back to the top.
But BTIG technical strategist Jonathan Krinsky sees a tougher stretch of the calendar arriving right on schedule.
