This will be a pivotal week for the market whether an actual pivot in trend happens or not. ($NCLH, $LCID, $PLUG, $QS, $NLY)

Save for semiconductors and the monsters of tech, which continue to act well, a sustained rebound in the Dollar and uptick in long-term interest rates suggest that risk conditions are elevated near-term.
