Market review: The rally from the November lows has been incredibly strong, and by last Friday the FOMO in the market was hitting extreme levels. Instead of the sharp pullback many expected, the market just cooled off a bit and kept grinding higher. Because of that, most major indexes are now slowly edging toward their all-time highs — but without the explosive breakout some traders were hoping for. The first leg of this move was fueled mainly by renewed expectations of a rate cut next week. That’s why we saw interest-rate-sensitive names like small caps (IWM) outperform tech (QQQ). At the same time, the AI stocks that had been causing the most fear around a potential “AI bubble” finally stabilized. Names like @ORCL, @SFTBY, and @CRWV all finished the week with strong gains. One interesting shift this week: the market seemed to stop caring about rate-cut hopes and started rallying simply on momentum. Meanwhile, the bond market told a different story — yields actually moved higher. That leaves stocks leaning heavily on the Fed’s tone this Wednesday. If the Fed doesn’t deliver something supportive, we could see the market move into a consolidation near the YTD highs. AI names also showed serious strength again. Last week’s mention, @VIAV, pushed into new all-time highs, and a wave of newer, less-talked-about AI leaders followed — including @TER and @AMAT. It’s a good reminder to stay unbiased and let relative strength point to where capital is really flowing.
