2/17/2026 Daily Recap: Market stuck in purgatory
$QQQ tries to sell off further but saved by $XLF and $AAPL getting back some of last weeks losses.
$TAN a leading group today and a new 52wk closing high $NXT $SEDG $ENPH
$XLU takes a little breather after last weeks large move back into Octobers high.
$XLV looks to be finishing up its multi month base and appears poised ready to continue higher. $LLY breaking out would also help
$ITA lead by $GE $BA $NOC $LMT $RTX $HWM heck of a day and look to lead the A&D group. $UFO more speculative but also nice day today
$GC_F $SI_F gap down over the weekend and one of the weaker groups in the market today.
Memory names $SNDK $MU a small slip today although the charts on the daily have been holding up well.
$LITE $AAOI $CIEN $GLW and the optic group are one of the best acting growth groups at the moment.
$XLP a little breather today
Market remains a choppy mess but if we can get $IGV and $BTC to stage a little rally it could make for an explosive move in the $QQQ and possible set the stage for follow though. Otherwise I am hopful for some bigger unwind in the Q's so we can reset the deck.
No strong opinions here.
