The S&P 500 is now within striking distance of its 52-week high, while the Nasdaq surged on continued strength in tech. Names like Oracle, Nvidia, and Palantir led the charge, reinforcing the market’s reliance on big tech momentum. Michele Schneider, Chief Strategist, MarketGauge Group breaks down what’s driving this resilience, whether optimism is justified, and how long this rally can last.
