Software (IGV): The software benchmark continues to consolidate, currently 6% off its all-time high, and slightly below its 50-DMA ($109).
The next level of support is near ~$107 followed by ~$105. Quantitative metrics continue to weaken, with Up/Down Volume ratio falling
below 1 and the numerical Acc/Dist Rating remaining negative. Although a select group of large-cap leaders — MSFT, ORCL, PLTR, NET
— remain in an uptrend and are still holding above key support levels, a growing number of software constituents, including ADSK, CRM,
HUBS, NOW, and TEAM remain under distribution. Only two of the 12 industry groups have shown improvement in Group Rank over the
last four weeks, with Desktop (#36, LIF) showing the sharpest improvement, followed by Design (#60, U). We recommend investors focus
on ideas with a rising RS line that are holding above key moving averages.
