The market's performance these days is indeed interesting. Seven consecutive days of gains look impressive, but what truly attracts attention isn't how much the index has risen, but what is happening behind the scenes.

Let's start with the data, which is the hard evidence. Over 3,500 stocks across both markets are following the upward trend, indicating what? It's not just a few heavyweight stocks pushing the index for show, but a genuine broad rally. Trading volume also cooperates well, with an increase of over 30 billion compared to the same period the previous day. Although not explosive, the rhythm of "price rising with volume increasing" has been steadily established, and the risk of falling into a volume trap is basically eliminated. This pattern is much more comfortable than the index's self-congratulatory hype.

Regarding sector rotation, the logic is undergoing subtle but important changes. Initially, the big tech, big consumption, and new energy sectors took turns performing, with each switching in and out. Later, it evolved into a resonance where multiple themes explode simultaneously. Now, the main funds are starting to focus precisely, no longer spreading their bets everywhere, but consolidating into core strong sectors and leading stocks. Short-term sentiment is fully ignited, which is the kind of market behavior expected during the year-end rally. From recent performance, themes like aerospace, AI hardware, and lithium batteries are leading the charge, with the driving effect of leading stocks continuing to stand out, and followers can trace the clues.

One issue that needs to be clarified: the number of consecutive days of gains isn't actually that important. After seven or eight days of continuous rise, it's very difficult to keep going without a pullback—that's common sense. Blindly chasing highs is a recipe for disaster, but that doesn't mean we should be pessimistic. The confidence accumulated in the market and the improved upward structure are the real valuable things. Even if the continuous rally pattern ends later, this accumulation is enough to support the market maintaining a healthy and stable rhythm—that's the market's confidence.

To put it simply, the index's continuous rise is just a facade; the real core is the qualitative change in individual stocks. The overall pattern is intact, just follow the main forces' rhythm and don't overcomplicate things.
