| Because the market’s internals are not committed to a collapse. A Look Under the Market’s Hood On a sector-by-sector basis, only half of the market’s weighting is in a downtrend. Because of this, we’re not likely to get a large collapse… but we’re also not likely to get a roaring rally either.  Until this changes and the market becomes more lopsided in terms of uptrends or downtrends on a sector by sector basis, we’ll likely see a choppy consolidation period, or at best, a slow grind higher. This is particularly true when you consider what the tech sector is doing. If you revisit the table above, you’ll note that the S&P 500 is heavily skewed towards technology stocks. It is the largest sector in the index (27%). In fact, it is larger than the second and third largest sectors (healthcare and consumer discretionary) combined. With this in mind, as long as tech remains in an uptrend, it will be VERY difficult for the market to collapse. Here’s the chart of the sector from today.  Until we see XLK drop below support at 144, or its 50-DMA at 140, it will be VERY difficult for the overall market to collapse in any significant way.
