Microsoft has been running really strong over the past month.

What's interesting is just how concentrated the moves have been. A handful of names basically did the heavy lifting for the S&P 500:

$Microsoft(MSFT)$ : +26.2% — 119 points

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ : +8.8% — 64 points

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ : +14.3% — 55 points

$Broadcom(AVGO)$ : +16.0% — 41 points

$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ : +4.9% — 16 points

When you look under the hood, the rally is a lot narrower than the headline index numbers suggest.

To me, that just reinforces the same story — this market is still being carried by mega-cap tech. The weight these names have in the index is something you really can't ignore.
