Drew Dosk argues the market is at a short-term inflection point: large-cap tech is still structurally strong, but several charts are showing near-term fragility ahead of core PCE and Micron earnings. He leans cautious on equities, expects inflation/rates to be the main catalyst, and points to key support/resistance levels across the S&P 500, Nasdaq, semis, yields, gold, oil, Bitcoin, and several individual stocks.

This episode is a chart-driven market wrap focused on whether the tech rally can keep extending or is starting to stall. Drew Dosk opens by noting mixed index behavior: SMH made new all-time highs while the Qs and SPY faded slightly, and he ties that divergence to an important macro week with core PCE on Thursday and Micron earnings Wednesday after the bell. His core thesis is that traders may start trimming risk into potentially hot inflation data, with higher rates and higher yields acting as the main pressure point for equities. On the broad indices, he says SPY’s intraday action was not a clean bullish continuation because selling hit around the 10:10 candle and the rest of the day drifted lower. Still, he emphasizes that the daily candle structure has not broken yet because price remains contained within Wednesday’s large red candle. …
Tactically cautious: the market looks vulnerable to a pullback if core PCE runs hot or yields keep firming. Until SPY/QQQ reclaim the stated levels, the risk is that strength in semis masks broader fatigue.
Over the next several weeks, the base case is consolidation to correction unless inflation cools and the 10-year yield fails to extend higher. A successful defense of key trend lines in tech would preserve the uptrend, but a breakdown in QQQ or SMH would make the rally feel more exhausted.
The longer-run regime remains bullish for quality mega-cap tech, but valuation and duration risk stay live as long as yields are trending higher. He sees the structural thesis as intact, yet more vulnerable to sharp resets than the business fundamentals alone would suggest.
Core PCE data on Thursday will print hot/inflationary, which will pressure equities.
The 10-year yield closing above 4.484% increases probabilities of rising to 4.555%, pressuring equities.
SMH's hanging man candle suggests a near-term decline similar to the ~13% drop that followed the June 3rd hanging man.
