The Nasdaq gained 0.38%, while the S&P 500 rose 0.59%.AMD’s modest decline appears to reflect profit-taking after a strong multi-month rally rather than a broader shift in market sentiment.Cramer Sees Dip As Buying OpportunityTechnical AnalysisThe longer-term trend remains firmly positive.AMD is trading 4.3% above its 20-day simple moving average of $518.00, 17.3% above its 50-day SMA of $460.85 and 94.2% above its 200-day SMA of $278.30.
