XLK One of three focus sectors

Technology. In every brief.

Technology sets the tone for the whole tape, which makes it the easiest sector to be vague about. Every Technology call we print names a level in XLK and the brief it has to hold until.

What we watch in Technology

Semis, software, and the rate sensitivity nobody prices.

Semis versus software

The two halves of XLK rarely move together for long. We name which one is carrying the index.

Rate sensitivity

Long-duration tech reacts to TLT before it reacts to its own earnings. Both sit in the same brief.

Breadth under the megacaps

An index at a high on four names is a different market than one at a high on forty.
