AI Cracks, Markets Slide: Broadcom Shakes Tech Leadership | CHART THIS (Dec 12, 2025)

In this Friday mailbag episode of CHART THIS, Dave Keller recaps a sharp risk-off session as Broadcom’s guidance sent shockwaves through the AI trade, dragging technology lower and pressuring the major averages. The S&P 500 dropped more than 1%, the NASDAQ fell nearly 2%, and semiconductors led the downside despite volatility remaining historically low.

Dave answers viewer questions on Ichimoku Cloud analysis, momentum divergences, growth versus value rotation, and how to think about breakouts like Delta Airlines after new highs. He also shares why weakness in mega-cap tech matters so much for index direction—and what rotations beneath the surface may signal heading into year-end.
