Situation Awareness: Cautious. A “buy-the-dip” rebound in semiconductors lifted the Nasdaq (+0.86%) and S&P 500 (+0.30%), but narrowing participation and weakness in mega-cap tech capped gains, leaving the Dow (-0.16%) in the red. Trade mode for tomorrow: Selective and defensive, focusing on semiconductor strength while monitoring inflation data. Today’s defining context was a relief rally in chips following Friday’s selloff, driven by Jensen Huang’s comments and geopolitical de-escalation. Regime context — 47.94% of stocks closed above their 40-day SMA (vs 50.75% prior day), and the 4% Bull/Bear gauge shows 145 bulls vs. 79 bears. The 5-day trend shows a sharp reversal on Friday followed by a modest, narrow recovery today, confirming a fragile market structure.
