What a way to start the week! Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of hosting "Your Daily Five", our latest series on StockCharts TV where we bring you a concise, action-packed daily rundown of the five most important charts that you need to be watching. Weekdays at 1:00pm ET, each day features a new host, which means five top charts and key insights from a different seasoned technician every single day of the week.

I kicked off this week on yesterday's show with five of my top charts for the current climate. I took a look at the substantial multi-year divergence that we've seen between the S&P Large, Mid and Small Cap groups, but discussed how the tides are beginning to change with mid- and small-caps starting to lead.

I also looked at key price levels for the Vanguard Total Index (VTI), shared my take on the improving but "not-quite-there-yet" breadth picture for the NYSE, S&P 500 and NASDAQ, and dove into the XLY:XLP ratio (Discretionary vs. Staples) to show how markets are beginning to favor offense.
