The Big Picture
Tech carried the market today, and almost nothing else did. The Nasdaq 100 jumped 1.70% while the S&P 500 managed +0.78% and the Dow barely moved at +0.14% — that gap tells the whole story. The technology sector surged 2.76%, pulling the headline numbers higher while the rest of the market quietly faded. The defensive trade got unwound hard. Healthcare fell 1.29%, utilities dropped 1.48%, and long-dated Treasuries sold off — TLT down 1.18% as yields pushed higher into quarter-end. That's money rotating out of safety and into growth, but it's concentrated growth. Crypto didn't get the memo — Bitcoin slid to $58,501, down 2.87%, with Ethereum and Solana both off nearly 3%. The CNN Fear & Greed Index sitting at 31 — Fear territory — while equities close green is worth watching. Sentiment and price are telling different stories. One of them is wrong.
