Next Day Prep #362: Why the Market Didn’t Crash With Tech – Friday 11/13/2026

Episode 3624:16

Episode summary

A deep dive into the day’s market action: tech giants sold off, but the broader market held as the equal-weighted S&P 500 rose 0.2% and the cautious breadth reading stayed near 56%. The hosts cover the AI infrastructure fade, standout names NU and SCHW, and the Monday playbook with key levels and scenarios.

Key points

  • Breadth held at a cautious 56.1% (from 56.0%) as the equal-weighted S&P 500 gained 0.2% despite the tech sell-off.
  • The 10-year yield at 5.15% drove a selective, defensive day; a break above 5.17% would be bad news and could push QQQ toward 647.05.
  • AI infrastructure faded after AMAT flagged component shortages, with AMD down 8.4%, while NU jumped 11.7% and SCHW gained 1.4%.
  • Monday's watch list: NU holding the 1275 to 1288 demand zone, and SCHW on an opening range break; Empire State manufacturing data is the key calendar item.
  • Regime forecast stays firmly cautious; don't front-run Tuesday's semiconductor earnings and wait for the data.
