🎯 The 4 Tickers (For RTY)

This indicator tracks 4 tickers that drive Russell 2000 direction:

| Ticker | What It Is | Why It Matters for RTY |
| ------ | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| IWM | Russell 2000 ETF | The actual small-cap index — RTY's ETF twin |
| KRE | Regional Banking ETF | Credit conditions — banks = economy = small caps |
| HYG | High Yield Bond ETF | Risk sentiment — spreads widening = bad for RTY |
| SMH | Semiconductor ETF | Tech sector health — risk-on = small caps rally |───

🔑 How They Work Together

RTY is Driven By:

1. IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) — Direct proxy. When IWM strengthens vs SPY, small caps are leading.
2. KRE (Regional Banks) — Small caps are economically sensitive. If banks are strong (KRE up), economy = good = RTY = good.
3. HYG (High Yield Bonds) — Credit conditions. When HYG falls (spreads widen), risk-off = RTY gets hit hard.
4. SMH (Semiconductors) — Risk-on indicator. When semis rally, small caps typically outperform.
