Regime
RISK ON - Technology sector leading with +3.44% while most other sectors flat to negative. Clear momentum and rotation into tech/semiconductors
Bias
BULLISH on semiconductors and AI-related momentum names. NEUTRAL to BEARISH on laggards and relative weakness plays
Best Setups
Semiconductor breakouts (AMD, INTC, NVDA near highs), Technology sector momentum, Crypto strength continuation
Avoid
Software stocks showing relative weakness (META, CRM, ADBE all down while sector up), Defensive sectors underperforming
