Our tracking of High Beta to Low Volatility and Large Cap to Small Cap shows both High Beta and Small Cap lagging. If this trend continues, then it is almost a guarantee of a correction.
We track the Powershares S&P High Beta (SPHB) versus Powershares S&P Low Volatility (SPLV). SPHB is down on an absolute and relative basis since mid March.

Meanwhile, the iShares Russell 2000 (IWM) is lagging the SPDRS Trust Unit (SPY) that tracks the S&P 500.
