Nasdaq streak likely ends today, potential spillover to the S&P 500

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Nasdaq-led weakness often precedes broader market pullbacks due to tech concentration within the S&P 500 and spillover effects on risk sentiment. In past cycles, accelerated declines in high-mly tech indices have foreshadowed softer S&P 500 performance over the ensuing days to weeks. If Nasdaq refuses further gains, expect S&P 500 to struggle for upside and test near-term support levels.
