The S&P 500 entered extreme oversold territory on November 2 while 46.8% of its stocks were overbought, a divergence not seen in 36 years. The index closed more than two standard deviations below its 50-day moving average, according to BeInCrypto, citing Bespoke Investment Group. Since 1990, five similar cases saw no more than 33.4% of stocks overbought.

According to CNBC, Jim Cramer warned Wednesday that investors may be overinterpreting Wall Street’s rally after the midterm elections. Stocks rose after Democrats won decisively, but technology shares diverged: hyperscalers advanced on expectations that opposition to data center development could slow AI investment and ease spending pressures, while semiconductor stocks and data center developers fell. Cramer said Friday’s Labor Department nonfarm payrolls report could reverse much of the rally and described the election-driven trading as too uncertain to base investment decisions on. Apple shares hit an all-time high Wednesday as investors bet that slower data center construction could ease memory chip prices, which have been pressuring the company’s margins. Microsoft and Amazon also rallied on expectations that a slower AI buildout could lower data center costs and curb capital spending. Nvidia, AMD, CoreWeave, Nebius and Iren fell as investors sold companies reliant on continued AI infrastructure investment. Cramer questioned whether the election could fundamentally change market forces, saying it had not upended the business cycle. He said short-term stock movements may not reflect underlying economic conditions. JPMorgan strategist Michael Cembalest, in his latest Eye on the Market piece Wednesday, wrote that midterms do not affect key market drivers such as 10-year interest rates, commodity prices, Federal Reserve policy, corporate profits, budget deficits, defense spending, AI investment over the next 12 months, AI companies’ borrowing needs and credit spreads.
