Nvidia

The broad market index fell 0.16% to finish at 5,464.62, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.18% to settle at 17,689.36. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 15.57 points, or 0.04% to close at 39,150.33.

"Technology stocks continue to be in the spotlight," said Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management. "I can't remember a time when one single stock ... has been so influential on the market, and that's really been a key driver of the market action as of late."

Nvidia shares declined 3.2%. On Thursday, the stock hit an all-time high before closing more than 3% lower. Nonetheless, the chipmaker is still up 155% year to date, and it briefly beat Microsoft as the most valuable public company on Tuesday.

The S&P 500 notched an intraday record of 5,505.53 earlier in the week, and it registered a 0.6% weekly advance. The Nasdaq finished the week flat, while the Dow rose 1.45% for its best weekly performance since May.

Some signs of an overextended market have begun to appear in recent sessions, although it's unclear whether the artificial intelligence-fueled rally has reached its limits. Even Nvidia, which is large enough to sway the market, is showing signs that its upward momentum may be slowing.

"It's probably not a bad time to take some chips off the table," said Dave Grecsek, a managing director at Aspiriant. "We've had a magnificent run, and the market is looking a little extended."

The total U.S. market saw its highest trading volume since March 15, due to the triple witching — that is, the expiration of stock options, stock index options and stock index futures options.

That mid-March day happens to be the same date as the last triple witching.

Nvidia poised to snap eight-week winning streak

Nvidia's troubles this week has put the artificial intelligence darling on track for its first losing week in nine.

The mega-cap technology stock has dropped more than 3% so far this week. That would end the eight-week positive streak notched by the chipmaker.

To be sure, this week's drawdown is a small bite in an otherwise monster rally. Nvidia shares are still higher by more than 16% on the month and 150% on the year.

Regulators find fault with Citigroup's 'resolution' plan

Citigroup shares fell more than 1.5% Friday after regulators ruled that the megabank's "resolution" plan isn't up to bar.

In a joint review of the eight largest banks' plans to unwind should they fail or come under distress, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve differed on the severity of Citi's shortcomings. The FDIC said the plan "is not credible" while the Fed called a issues a "deficiency," which is a lower offense.

In the event of a disagreement, regulations call the issue a "shortcoming," or "a weakness that raises questions about the feasibility of the plan" that must be addressed by July 1, 2025. Citi also was found to have a shortcoming in 2021.

There were no other issues raised with other plans that submitted resolution plans.

Bitcoin weakness signals S&P 500 summer correction, says Stifel's Bannister

Recent weakness in bitcoin could be signaling an upcoming correction in stocks, according to Stifel's chief equity analyst Barry Bannister.

"Weakening bitcoin … signals an imminent S&P 500 summer correction and consolidation phase," he said. "With the S&P 500 now at the very high end (2 sigma) of bitcoin post-peak cycle overlays since 2011, we have yet another strong signal that an imminent S&P 500 correction is possible."

Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $73,797.68 on March 14 before quickly correcting and it has struggled to hold the $70,000 mark since, barring a handful of blips. On Thursday, the S&P 500 briefly touched 5,500 for the first time ever after notching its most recent record close earlier in the week.

Nvidia forms ‘bearish engulfing’ chart pattern

Nvidia's Thursday sell-off helped form a "bearish engulfing" pattern that often signals that the prior upward momentum is waning.

The chart pattern occurs during a rally when a large down candle follows a series of up candles. The downside candlestick is also larger than the upside ones preceding it. A candle represents the difference between the opening and closing price.

"A one-day reversal to create a bearish engulfing pattern is typically important for the near-term to suggest that a turning point might be near," Mark Newton, head of technical strategy at Fundstrat, said in a note.

Sales prices for existing homes hits new record

Home prices hit a new record in May, but sales were a little better than expected, the National Association of Realtors reported Friday.

The median sales price for existing homes hit $419,300 for the month, up 5.8% from a year ago, with the record marking the 11th straight month of year-over-year gains.

At the same time, sales totaled a seasonally adjusted 4.11 million, down 0.7% but better than the 4.08 million Dow Jones consensus estimate. Unsold inventory expanded by 6.7% from April and stood at the equivalent of 3.7 months of supply, or 1.28 million.

Services PMI reading its highest level in more than two years

U.S. service sector activity hit its highest level in 26 months during June while the manufacturing picture improved as well, according to S&P Global "flash" readings released Friday.

The flash services activity index hit a level of 55.1, its highest since the spring of 2022 and its 17th straight month of growth, according to the survey of purchasing managers. That was up from 54.8 in May and better than the 54 estimate from Dow Jones.

On the manufacturing side, the PMI flash reading came in at 51.7, a three-month high and 0.4 points better than May. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 51 from the index that measures the share of managers who report expansion in activity.

Options expiration 'triple witching' and index rebalancing could create volatility Friday

Some mechanical deadlines in the stock market could give Friday's trading an extra jolt of volatility.

June 21 is this quarter's so-called "triple witching," when stock futures and index options contracts expire on the same day as many highly traded individual stock options.

Triple witching can sometimes lead to abnormally high volatility as traders try to close out their options positions.

Friday is also the final day before the rebalance of many indexes followed by major funds takes effect. That includes CrowdStrike joining the S&P 500, and a big shift in the weights of Nvidia and Apple in the Technology Select Sector Index. One ETF will need to acquire more than $10 billion worth of Nvidia to align with the new index weights.

Tech is ‘overdone’ right now, Nuveen’s Saira Malik says

Tech stocks may soon be seeing a pullback, according to Saira Malik of Nuveen.

"The technicals and the flows into tech … make them look overbought in the short term," the firm's chief investment officer told CNBC's "Power Lunch" on Thursday. "The relative strength indicators show that tech is overdone at this point, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a shorter-term pause."

However, there's one megacap tech name in particular that could see a lot more upside ahead, especially given the limited supply of artificial intelligence stocks, Malik said.

"Nvidia is definitely becoming the tail that wags the dog," she said, adding that it's not an expensive stock compared to the broader semiconductor industry. "It's just not a stock that you're paying a lot for."

Shares of the chipmaker closed down 3.54% on Thursday after hitting a new 52-week high during the session. The stock is up around 164% this year.
