I don't find that tech has to necessarily "confirm" non-tech. Here are 3 examples, each in a different time frame:

The DOW topped in January 2000, and the OTC's rallied to new highs into March.

Last October non-tech's topped on October 11, and OTC's made a new high a few weeks later.

Most recently, "Old Economy" made a top on May 19, and tech rallied to a new high in June.

In each of those cases the perceived divergence did not stop the markets from breaking down. Therefore, I keep an eye on them, but find no reason to allow these things to weigh too heavily when it comes to making decisions.
