Market Overview - The market showed a general upward trend today, but compared to last Friday's decline, many investors remain cautious. The index did not see significant gains, indicating a potential continuation of the downward trend. Trading volume decreased, suggesting a lack of active participation from investors, with a median decline of 3.91% last Friday compared to a 1.31% increase today, indicating persistent fear in the market [1][3]. Buying and Selling Pressure - The buying power remains weak, with expectations of less than 1,000 in buying volume tomorrow, which is below the previous week's levels. Selling pressure was significant today, with over 670 sell orders, indicating continued outflow from retail investors and institutions. This unusual selling pressure during a day of general gains suggests that the market has not yet cleared the selling pressure, leading to potential further testing in the coming days [3][5]. Sector Performance - The ST (Special Treatment) sector had the highest number of stocks hitting the daily limit up, with 12 stocks reaching this threshold. Other sectors had fewer than 10 stocks hitting the limit, indicating a lack of strength in those areas. The military industry showed relatively strong performance, driven by news-related factors, while sectors like Fujian Free Trade and large models also saw some gains, albeit from lower bases [5][6]. Market Sentiment - Despite some signs of recovery, the market is not experiencing a true broad-based rally. The number of stocks that have declined for three consecutive days remains high, with over 600 stocks, indicating ongoing weakness. The current market environment is characterized by sector rotation and ongoing consolidation, with investors either choosing to band together in certain stocks or remain on the sidelines due to uncertainty [8][9].
