Nasdaq Up 122 Points, But Most Stocks Lagged

The Nasdaq Composite rose 122.48 points on Oct. 6, 2026, MarketWatch reported. Yet only 61 Nasdaq stocks hit new 52-week highs while 182 hit new lows — their cheapest price in a year — per Reuters. In my view, that's narrow leadership: a rising index can still mask weakness for savers holding index funds.
