The Narrow Rally

Lack of Breadth

Outside of tech, the broader market struggled to hold gains, reflecting a troubling trend of weak breadth.

• S&P 500’s gains were concentrated, with a lack of participation from other sectors.

• Analysts warn that such a top-heavy rally could limit the market's upside potential if broader strength doesn’t materialize.

2- Concerning Patterns

• Bullish Sign: Persistent buying through the day often leads to sustained uptrends over weeks or months. Nvidia’s CES keynote and upcoming earnings season could provide fresh catalysts. AI and tech remain growth engines.

$NVDA

• Bearish Risk: Continued weak closes could undermine market momentum.

The Calendar

The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey today. The Institute for Supply Management will also release its Services Purchasing Managers’ Index for December.

Conclusion

The market’s inability to hold onto early gains reflects underlying challenges, but it’s not yet time to sound the alarm. Persistent weakness at the close, combined with top-heavy rallies, could pose risks if these patterns continue. However, tech strength and upcoming earnings season offer reasons for cautious optimism…
