Market pulled back modestly as technology sectors lagged.
The market was down modestly over the last hour, with Energy and Health Care leading, while Technology and Real Estate lagged. This is a change from the previous hour when Utilities and Financials led, and Energy and Industrials lagged. The shift in sector leadership suggests a change in investor sentiment.
Why it mattered: This hour's pullback indicates the market's upward momentum is facing resistance.

This is the reading as it was written on the day. It has not been edited with hindsight, and it may have turned out to be wrong.
