Small caps lagging hard while SPY and QQQ push higher is a classic sign of narrow market leadrship. The 1.28% drop in IWM suggests risk off positioning by institutions who see better opportunities in mega cap tech. Real estate getting hammered at 4.10% down adds to the pressure since small caps and rate sensitive sectors tend to move together.
With tech leading at 2.42% last week and PLTR reporting earnings this week, the setup looks interesting. The risk is that headline risk you mentioned, but PLTR's AI positioning and recent comercial growth could make it a standout in this earnings cycle. Watching for any post-earnings consolidation above key moving averages.
