You walk in to the same tape you left — only sharper. Forty of the 50 names our screener ranks hold a BUY bias, but only 58% are advancing, against 62% on Friday. Capital is still paying up for earnings you can underwrite — semis, AI-infrastructure, the mega-caps — and still offering the story-multiples: OKTA, CRWD, DDOG, NET, alongside an MRNA air-pocket. The rotation didn't reverse over the weekend; it tightened.
The single thing that decides today is not the index — it is whether that concentrated bid holds its nerve into the gate that opens tomorrow. The week's real catalysts do not print today; they start at the bell on Tuesday. Today is the crowd deciding what it is willing to carry into them.
