Momentum indicators for the technology sector have turned negative for the first time since mid-January, driven mainly by weakness in smaller-cap stocks. Despite index highs led by mega-cap stocks, most stocks have fallen below their 200-day moving averages, signaling narrow market breadth. Rising bond yields and sector rotation suggest increased market risks, prompting investors to consider tactical portfolio adjustments. NVIDIA, holding 51% of the semiconductor market cap, remains a key market indicator with earnings expected on May 20th.
