Signal: Clear rotation INTO risk assets - semiconductors, small caps, industrials leading. Money flowing from defensives to growth
Rationale: Tech surging +4.06% while Communications down -0.39% - AI/semiconductor boom vs social media weakness
Risk: Tech reversal if AI hype fades, but momentum too strong to fade
Rationale: Industrials breaking to new highs at $173.18 vs $173.39 resistance - infrastructure/defense spending themes
Risk: Economic slowdown fears, but trend is your friend
