Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Brian G (@alphacharts). It’s a ratio chart of some of the largest stocks in the market vs. the S&P 500. We’re talkin’ $FB, $AMZN, $MSFT, $AAPL, $NFLX, and $GOOGL. Mega-Cap Tech dominated this week, while Small and Micro-Cap stocks struggled. Brian points out that this equally weighted basket of Mega-Cap Tech darlings is breaking out to fresh relative highs for the first time in more than a year. These 5 stocks collectively represent more than 20% of the S&P 500, so it’s not bearish to see these juggernauts reassert their leadership. However, it would be more encouraging if we also had broader participation from Small and Micro-Caps.

This week was a textbook boring week in the markets (DAO Constitution stuff aside) ?
The S&P 500 didn’t move more than 0.5% in any days this week, the fourth time that’s happened this year.
These “boring weeks” have happened about 3-4 times a year since the beginning of 2000.

As most know, seasonality has tracked perfectly for $SPX. Next week, the next huge phase of strength begins until Dec 6th. Big test for if accuracy continues
Price though all that matters and holding 4675 is essential to keep this in play. It fails & seasonal rally postponed pic.twitter.com/8ejsnggNuK

I'd be inclined to view this as a failed break out in Energy.
