Stock Lags Despite Strong MarketThursday’s decline appeared driven by stock-specific selling rather than broader market weakness. The technology sector led gains across major sectors, yet ServiceNow moved sharply lower.Such divergence often occurs when traders sell into resistance levels or rotate away from premium-valued software stocks following a recovery rally.Market breadth remained strong, with nine of 11 sectors trading higher and an advance-decline ratio of 4.5. Against that backdrop, ServiceNow’s weakness stood out as a notable underperformance.Technical Picture Remains MixedServiceNow shares traded at $102.71, leaving the stock about 4% below its 20-day simple moving average of $107.93 and roughly 2.4% below its 100-day average of $106.14. Those levels suggest the stock is still struggling to regain intermediate-term momentum.However, the shares remain about 4.2% above the 50-day moving average of $99.44, indicating the latest pullback follows a recent recovery attempt rather than a fresh breakdown.The relative strength index stood at 49.08, a neutral reading that suggests momentum is neither overbought nor oversold.The longer-term trend remains a concern for bulls.
