Despite the overall Capital Goods sector facing a downturn, select stocks like APOLLO and ELGIEQUIP demonstrate resilience, suggesting pockets of opportunity within specific sub-segments or company-specific factors driving outperformance.

🎯 Technical Corner

🤖 Tech Setup: Okay, based on the provided data showing neither a Golden Cross nor a defined Bullish Trend, I can offer this insight: **The absence of both a Golden Cross and a confirmed bullish trend suggests the market is currently lacking strong bullish momentum, indicating a period of consolidation or potential uncertainty.** A more cautious approach to long positions may be warranted until stronger bullish signals emerge.
