$NVDA and $TSM hitting ATHs, $NDX at new records, $SPX within spitting distance—yet breadth is absolutely terrible. Classic setup where headline indexes mask what's really happening underneath. Most retail just watches the big numbers and thinks everything's fine.
This is the kind of divergence that matters. When you've got narrow leadership driving the tape and everything else lagging, you're not seeing broad participation. It's a few mega-caps doing all the heavy lifting. That works until it doesn't.
For now, ride the momentum in chips and mega-cap tech if you're positioned there. But don't mistake index strength for market health. Breadth divergences like this historically precede either a healthy rotation or a sharper pullback. Watch for cracks in leadership names—that's your signal.
