Despite a sharp Nasdaq and semiconductor selloff, improving 40-day breadth upgraded the market regime to Cautious even as short-term momentum stayed bearish. The analyst breaks down the rotation from mega-cap tech into defensives, what the scan signals confirm, and the exact levels to watch tomorrow on QQQ, SPY, PG, LMT and RKT. Built from WaveFinder...
Chapter by chapter
The Breadth Paradox
A down day for indexes coincides with an upgraded regime score, explained through 40-day breadth improvement and sector rotation.
Earnings Beats That Still Broke
Meta, Tesla, Lam Research and IBM drop despite decent results as spending signals outweigh headline numbers, while defensives like PG and LMT rally.
Levels and Triggers for Tomorrow
Calendar data, watchlist levels on PG, LMT and RKT, and the bull/bear QQQ and SPY triggers that determine the next regime shift.
Key points
40-day breadth jumped from 38.5% to 49.66% intraday, upgrading the regime to Cautious even as major indexes fell sharply.
The 4% Bull/Bear gauge stayed net bearish (318 vs 491) and 20-day breadth cratered to 15%, showing short-term damage beneath intermediate-term healing.
Capital rotated from mega-cap tech and semis (Meta, Tesla, Lam Research, IBM) into defensives and rate-sensitive names (PG, LMT, RKT, Utilities, Health Care).
Scan signals (continuation, D9M, only one Reversal Bullish) confirm the rotation thesis and argue against buying the semiconductor dip yet.
Key levels for confirmation: QQQ reclaiming 726 and SPY back above 768-770 signals rotation; QQQ breaking 702 and SPY losing 759 would trigger a downgrade to Cautious-Bearish.
