Short-Term "Overbought" Market Shows "Bear Trap" in Software

• Near-term, the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) is overbought, and the S&P 500 (SPX) is at a critical resistance level, suggesting potential for sideways consolidation.
• A sustained break above S&P 500 all-time highs could lead to short covering and performance chasing, creating an interesting upside scenario.
• AI infrastructure spending is a significant driver, with daily compute deals being announced, fueling tech growth.
• The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sect ETF (IGV) experienced a 'false breakdown' or 'bear trap,' indicating potential for further upside in undervalued software stocks like Adobe (ADBE) and Salesforce (CRM).
• The VIX is low (around 17.46), signaling reduced market fear, but upcoming economic data and geopolitical developments need to be monitored.

The market is currently overbought in the short-term, with the S&P 500 near all-time highs.
