The Rally is Still Working, But It’s Getting Selective

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are still holding up, but fewer stocks are carrying the rally. That selectivity becomes clearer when Mary Ellen looks beneath the major indexes, where only 44% of S&P 500 stocks are above their 20-day moving average. At the same time, strong earnings are pulling software and cybersecurity stocks back into focus and helping Nasdaq participation recover, creating a market where identifying the right areas matters increasingly more than simply following the indexes higher.
