Despite two consecutive days of 0.5% declines for the S&P 500, significant dip-buying activity has prevented a larger pullback. Key tech names like ORCL (-4.11%), PLTR (-2.31%), and NVDA (-1.22%) saw declines, while TSLA (+2.68%) and XOM (+1.40%) showed strength. The market is currently testing whether a more substantial pullback would trigger further buying or scare investors.
