The tape rotated hard out of mega-cap tech: the Dow gained 1.08% and the Russell 2000 jumped 1.38% while the Nasdaq Composite managed just 0.08% and Technology was the second-worst sector at -0.65%. Health Care led at +1.86%, with Materials (+1.79%) and Cons. Disc. (+1.71%) close behind; Energy was the laggard at -1.58%. Single names did the heavy lifting elsewhere — BTOC exploded +1583%, while FMC collapsed -30.53% and MAN fell -15.82%. VIX eased 2.86% to 15.99 even as the 10-year sits at 5.19%, and overnight S&P futures (+0.14%) lean against Nasdaq futures (-0.24%), hinting the rotation theme carries forward.
Change on the day for the major indices. VIX sits in the metric strip above — it reads inversely, so it is kept out of this scale.

The universe sits at 37.6% bullish with 1,905 of 5,067 names rated buy-or-better, but the real signal is the 12.4-point day-over-day breadth expansion. Breadth broadening into a small-cap-led session is textbook risk-on participation — money is moving down the cap spectrum rather than concentrating in a handful of leaders. The strong-buy list skews toward software (TEAM, ZM, GWRE) while strong sells include industrial services names (MAN, SNX), consistent with the sector rotation on the tape.

Where the money went — sector split

Today's session is a clean case study in why breadth matters more than index level. The S&P rose only 0.33%, but the Russell 2000 gained 1.38% and every sector except Utilities, Technology and Energy finished green — that's a broadening tape, where participation spreads from concentrated leaders into the mid- and small-cap universe. QuantLogix's 12.4-point breadth expansion confirms it at the signal level: nearly 38% of 5,067 names now carry bullish ratings, up sharply in a single session. The classic read is that broadening is healthier than concentration because rallies carried by thousands of participants are harder to reverse than those carried by a few. The caveat to watch: breadth expansions that occur while mega-cap leadership cracks — Technology -0.65% with GOOGL, MSFT and AAPL reporting within two weeks — sometimes mark rotation into a late-cycle risk phase rather than the start of a durable advance. The tell will be whether breadth keeps expanding after the earnings gauntlet or reverses the moment the big names stumble.
