Here are Ivanhoff’s thoughts:
AI stocks went parabolic in the first half of the week. They gapped up on Thursday and that was it. What followed was a quick pullback in NVDA, SMCI, DELL, MU, SOXL, etc. It’s normal to see leaders test their rising 10 or 20-day moving averages.
The decline in semis coincided with a rise in other sectors.
The biotech ETF, XBI bounced near its 50-day moving average, led by GILD, RNA, and SRPT among others.
Retailers also perked up. AMZN bounced. Stocks like DKS and BURL are setting up for a potential breakout near their 52-week highs.
Internet and software have been in the penalty box for most of 2024, yet GOOGL and MSFT are near their all-time highs. So is GWRE, META is acting constructively above its rising 20-day moving average, and if it clears 504, it could try to test its all-time highs. ESTC is hanging right at its rising 20dEMA.
Such sector rotations are typical for bull markets – money doesn’t leave; it just moves to a different group of stocks. We will probably see more of the same even if the large-cap indexes, SPY and QQQ pull back towards their 20-day moving average.
And here are the charts discussed:
