S&P 500 support or down stability.
-
I’m looking at the 2026 charts, and it’s a bit stressful. The S&P 500 is right at the support level of 6,145, while the Nasdaq seems weak from "AI exhaustion," even with all the money being spent. Should I stay with the S&P 500, or should I switch to the Dow to avoid the ups and downs of tech?

It is totally normal to feel a bit on edge when you see those big swings, but the recent rebound to 7,173.91 is a huge relief after that dip toward 6,145. Even with the "AI exhaustion" everyone is talking about, companies like Microsoft are still pulling in record profits, which keeps the floor from falling out.
Now, you should know that if you're still feeling the "tech stress," moving a bit of your money into the Dow or consumer staples is a classic move. It lets you stay in the game and benefit from the market's growth without having your stomach drop every time a tech stock fluctuates. It’s all about finding that balance so you can actually sleep at night!
