BTIG analyst Jonathan Krinsky warns that extreme RSI levels, poor breadth, and record tech concentration signal a likely market correction. The semiconductor sector's recent 3.8% drop suggests leading sectors are finally beginning to 'catch down' to the broader market weakness.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.The SPY has reached extreme RSI levels (78) which historically precedes negative returns across all timeframes from 5-40 days.
  • 2.Market breadth is at an unprecedented divergence; while the SPX is 8.5% above its 50 DMA, only 47% of component names are above their own 50 DMA.
  • 3.The Semiconductor and AI theme (SMH) has begun to crack, suffering its worst daily decline since March (-3.8%) on high volume.
