Gareth Soloway argues that the market remains technically strong overall, but leadership is rotating out of semiconductors and into software. He flags key support levels in the S&P 500, QQQ, and yields, sees oil as surprisingly muted despite Middle East escalation, and says Bitcoin is looking materially weak versus equities. The main near-term focus is whether the S&P trend line and QQQ support hold, while individual chip names like Intel, AMD, and ARM look extended or vulnerable after huge moves.

Gareth Soloway frames the session as a chart-first morning check on a market that is still broadly strong, with the S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq at all-time highs, but with important internal rotation underneath. His core message is that the tape is being led away from semiconductors and toward software, and that traders should respect the strength until trend lines break. He repeatedly emphasizes probabilities rather than certainty: the market is bullish as long as key support zones hold, but if those levels fail, the tone can quickly turn negative. On the index side, he says the S&P 500 futures and the cash index are hovering near a critical trend line drawn from the March 30 low and subsequent pivots. He says a break below roughly 7560 on the S&P would be an important downside trigger, and that a move lower from the overnight futures range could send the market flat or negative on the day. …
Near term, the market still looks bullish unless the S&P and QQQ lose the trend-line supports he flagged. The immediate tactical risk is crowded semiconductor leadership giving way to a sharper rotation or a failed breakout in extended names.
Over the next few weeks, his base case is continued equity strength with leadership rotating from chips into software, while gold, oil, and Bitcoin work through compression or breakdown setups. That view would be challenged if index support fails or if geopolitical pressure finally forces crude materially higher.
His structural view is that technicals and rotation remain the dominant regime: winners can reverse fast once they become stretched, and narrative alone is not enough. If that holds, the deeper implication is a market where leadership is more transient and asset-specific than theme-specific.
The market is still broadly strong because major U.S. indexes are at all-time highs.
He repeatedly says the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are at highs and only turns cautious if trend lines break.
A break of the S&P trend line around 7560 would be a bearish trigger.
He treats that line as the key near-term invalidation level for the index.
The Nasdaq 100 remains constructive unless QQQ loses 730.
He uses 730 as the key line that would raise breakdown risk.
