  • A shift in sector leadership in US stocks indicates a potential end to the correction and a forthcoming market bottom. The tech sector, previously leading the market, has been overtaken by communication services, with Meta and Google driving the latter's recent outperformance.
  • Historical data shows that previous market corrections were accompanied by a change in sector leadership, often signaling the bottom before the next market upswing.
