Feb 9 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq ended at a new closing high on Tusday but the broad market closed slightly lower as investors rotated out of large-cap tech names into other sectors seen as benefiting from President Joe Biden's proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq hit an all-time high for the fifth consecutive session on early gains in Apple Inc AAPL.O , Amazon.com Inc AMZN.O and Google-parent Alphabet Inc AAPL. , which later turned lower amid a shift in portfolio allocations.

The NYSE FANG+TM index .NYFANG , which includes Facebook Inc FB.O , Netflix Inc NFLX.O and Tesla Inc TSLA.O , rose to an all-time high.

With the number of U.S. COVID-19 cases falling and expectations the stimulus package will be approved in Congress, investors are hard-pressed to find significant negatives, said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.

"You're not seeing money coming out of the market and going into cash," James said. "You're seeing money coming out of one sector and being rotated into another sector to maintain an overall long bias."
