Its true buyers are on strike, and biding their time, which makes sense considering the issues will be resolved one way or the other shortly. According to the fear and greed index, investors have a healthy amount of fear respecting the unknown.

There has been spotty buying in tech - particularly chips and software, which belies nonstop commentary about tech being down because bond yields are higher. Bond yields are not really that high and have been consolidating the last two weeks.
