Bespoke Investment Group 48.84K Followers Follow Summary At the end of last week, 75% of S&P 500 Technology stocks closed above their 200-DMAs for the first time in 219 trading days. Even after its recent improvement, Technology is hardly exceptional compared with the rest of the market. Six S&P 500 sectors have a larger percentage of stocks above their respective 200-DMAs, led by Financials at 84.2%.
