7-13-26 Momentum Meets Complacency | Before the Bell

Markets finally broke above weeks of price compression, triggering a bullish momentum breakout after rising support and declining resistance converged. While the technical picture remains constructive, investor complacency is increasing as markets approach overbought territory. Lance Roberts examines why this breakout may have more limited upside than many investors expect, why cheap put options deserve attention, how oversold oil prices could reverse higher into the mid-$80s, and why the continued rotation from Value to Growth—led by semiconductors—is expanding across the broader market. We also discuss how rising energy prices could become a headwind for technology stocks even as market momentum remains positive.
