The U.S. stock market is experiencing a rare and concerning phenomenon known as 'bad breadth,' where more stocks are falling than rising despite the S&P 500's continued climb. This situation, not seen in over 20 years, is reminiscent of the period around September 11, 2001. While megacap technology stocks are currently offsetting broader market weakness, the narrow market breadth is causing investor anxiety. Historically, such weak breadth has coincided with significant market downturns, raising concerns about potential future declines.

Analyst Jonathan Krinsky warns of a potential pullback for the S&P 500 as megacap technology stocks outperform unprofitable tech stocks and other market segments, creating a widening gap between winners and losers. Additionally, a divergence between market expectations for interest-rate cuts and the S&P 500's performance raises concerns, as the market relies heavily on a few megacap tech names to drive indexes higher. Without broader participation in the rally, further upside for the S&P 500 may be limited, despite the index's recent record close.
