Richard Naso breaks down a market still led by technology and semiconductors, while weaker breadth and pressure in high-yield credit raise questions about the strength of the broader rally.

No single tool gets you there — the edge is in the architecture. Here’s how to build effective scanner setups for technical screening, layer by layer.
