QQQ

haniyarae

from what i'm seeing, low volume from sept 2024 until feb 20, 2025, and then huge selloff volume, but the volume seems higher now (50 to 90 mil) than then 25-35 mil in 2024 and 2025 on QQQ.

QQQ chart looks like a turd after that nvidia pop and drop.

SPY and QQQ volume are below average. How does this compare to times like April of last year?

What kind of degenerates aren’t going to take some profit on these insane tech stocks today? My mind is to short QQQ but I know that there are a lot of people out there that are even more degenerate than me.

This pump is nice but volume is low for SPY and QQQ. How does this compare to red months in the past?

You should do a substack where you collate all these substacks and summarise the calls very easily for us as you say, Long SPY, Short QQQ etc. and continue to do this analysis. I'll be your first subscriber, give me a discount mate

SirGlass

I am pretty sure this only affects funds following the nasdaq 100 index so index funds like QQQ/QQQM. It would not affect index funds like **VTI, VOO, or BlackRock Equity Index F** as they do not follow the nasdaq 100 index. >If passed, our index funds will be **legally forced** to buy these stocks in just **15 days** after they go public. Yea this is clickbait . Not all index funds it would only affect funds following the nasdaq 100 index basically QQQ/QQQM, and I am not sure it would have to legally buy if you read the prospectus it usually gives the fund managers some leeway in managing the fund . Most will say "Generally the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in the underlying index"

Vegetable_Push6542

QQQ is only down 1% since the war began, it's really just been the Dow taking a beating. So hopefully they can start beating up tech so we go down even further.

drew-gen-x

It's sure looking like retail provided exit liquidity for the 1st trading hour this morning. That massive $QQQ $600 support level is looking like it's about to switch to a $600 resistance level.

jazzyjjcups

You people thought QQQ was going to be +2% today lmao

NYGiants181

Wrong. SpaceX will be at MOST 3% of QQQ, which basically mirrors the Nasdaq. Netflix is 2% and META is 9%. Both have dropped over 10-20% recently. QQQ is down 3% on the year. But keep reading the doomer posts. Jesus fucking Christ.

it's fading with QQQ

FunkyMonk100k

Ya already being up over 1% there’s resistance. Same thing with QQQ at $600. Both at points of if they break either way, they run

May have missed the boat on those. SPY and QQQ are right at that level of moon or plummet

Bought QQQ puts last Tuesday. 600 strike. Sold for minimal loss on Friday. Anyways feel bad to the moron who bought them. They expire today and he paid 7.8 per contract

This pump is crazy.. all of the nations literally refused to escort ships shortly after the Trump tweet. There was nothing good that came out of the weekend… +1% QQQ in pre market is criminal

I’m considering moving from QQQ to VXUS and VB (international and small cap). Historically returns aren’t as good but at least i’ll be slightly less exposed to the AI scammers.

Bulls fucked, oil skyrocketing. -2% on QQQ EOD.

Vegetable_Push6542

QQQ sell-off starting, looks like they're trying to get it down before premarket opens

ProudestPeasant

SPY and QQQ and the rest are too damn expensive now. is it because everyone piled back into the market after a low period?

ebikr

If you have QQQ you will be buying it whether you want to or not. (Personally I’d rather not.)

Strongly agree that leaps is the play. Hoping the downturn lasts another week so I can throw my bonus into QQQ and SPY leaps

TickTockTaudit

Friend’s sister started dating this new guy, no one likes him. As a favor to her, we included him in a golf foursome. On the first tee box he is shit talking her and how he hates all her friends…which is literally the three of us. On the 16th, I didn’t realize he walked all the way to the green looking for his ball in the trees. I hit a pull draw with my 3 wood and hit him dead in the chest, on the fly, from 200. Just fucking incredible. Anyway, calls. QQQ 650 by June.

Jay3377

We all know it's green the first 2 days where QQQ runs to 615 and red the last 2 days of the week and QQQ comes back to 594 again

Hamzehaq7

dude, love that you're back in the game and refining your strategy! sounds like you've got a solid plan going on. for ETFs, QQQ is definitely worth checking out, especially with tech stocks making moves lately. also, you might wanna look at IWM for small caps or even some sector-specific ones like XLF for financials if you're feeling risky. premiums can vary, but it’s worth a look. just remember to keep an eye on those support/resistance levels! keep it up, man!

Fomo4life69

Up 70%. Sold everything and bought QQQ puts and CVX calls

Got_Engineers

It’s not that they’re deferring hedging it’s that they’re delaying the process and the inevitable. Of course, firms selling and buying options would be hedging instantly especially in the 0DTE space. But what if they hedge those options with other ZODTE and the inevitable happens overnight when price can actually be controlled more by market makers. The reason I bring this is how these massive blocks have been traded . The $585 QQQ puts from Friday expiration were bought in a single block 50k volume Monday march 2nd. If you look at price action of QQQ from that Monday, price rallied all day long. What happened overnight? Massive gap down. The same thing happened last Friday that same contract was traded in 25k blocks twice back to back 5 minutes apart. What happened over last weekend and into Monday? Same thing another gap down. Tl:dr that these dealers and market makers are creating and leaving massive swaths of inventory from this hedging flows and they’re being systematically targeted because the hedging functions are mandatory

HugeAd5056

Difference is, if the market crashes back to April 2025 levels, you’re looking at a 50% drop on TQQQ vs a 33% drop on QQQ. Probably won’t happen, but it would be something like that.

Got_Engineers

There was like 1 million put contracts that expired on $QQQ $600 strike Friday and “someone” was “selling” equivalent volume on worthless calls Thursday and Friday. Despite the market not rallying at all Thursday or Friday, a market participant was selling worthless 0DTE calls all day long. I believe the market will go straight up Monday because of this hedging flow . Not sure about the rest of the week, but it’s been pretty clear. These straight pumps on Monday have been coming from the residual inventory of leftover massive options volume expiring. I don’t think participants are hedging these contracts until the next day because whoever whoever ends up buying those worth this calls are obviously hedging along with the person that sold them. But what if the person that sold the hundred thousands of worthless 0DTE collected the premium and didn’t hedge until Monday?

HystericalSail

It's a rebalancing act. The whole point is SPY and VT being a better place to be than QQQ during the chaos. While SPY will be hit by the declines of Mag 7, holders of SPY will not be locking in losses by selling leading companies to go on a garbage buying spree. SpaceX will only temporarily suck all the oxygen out of the room, the recovery in Mag7 positions should take place in short order.

PutSpreadDaddi69

IWM vs QQQ over the last 5 years.

HystericalSail

AND that index holder will have passively sold their profitable, growing Mag 7 holdings to raise capital for that new 6% stake. Yeah, I'm convinced enough to reduce QQQ in favor of more VT and SPY.

Ohhh I see the confusion. I’m talking about $QQQ. $589 is -1% for the nasdaq.

oxphatxo

I think you just have to remember that this is just a PMCC strategy with extra shit to cover your ass. Shares are expensive, leaps are cool but plagued with theta and directional risks. Getting them to act more like shares at 1/4 the cost is really the goal. Downside protection for free isn’t exactly crap. It’s supposed to cushion, better than nothing in comparison and free. A slow uptrend is bad, that’s the only thing I really agree with you on in your response. It was never intended to be full downside protection. We will have to see in due time which works out better, shares, naked calls, or this. I’ll be keeping the strategy going for a while. Probably going in on it with QQQ whenever the market decides to turn around. Ask me later if you’re interested…

aronnax512

MSTR would be around 0.4% of QQQ. SpaceX would be around 6% of QQQ. In other words, an index fund holder would own ~15X as much SpaceX as MSTR.

A55BAG

SpaceX, OpenAi, Anthropic, Databricks, that's about 4 trillion worth of unprofitable tech IPOs that could be coming to QQQ in 2026. With the rule changes there will not be a real price discovery.

Vegetable_Push6542

Wow what a shocker, Don the Con lied once again and now oil is skyrocketing. -2% for QQQ on Monday give it up bols.

Vegetable_Push6542

Weekend Oil ripping again, should be a -2% day for QQQ this Monday

steady_compounder

This is the kind of thing that makes me glad I hold VTI over QQQ. The NASDAQ-100 is already top-heavy and adding a $1.75T company that wants to change the rules for inclusion just makes it worse. Passive investing works because the rules are supposed to be neutral. Once you start bending index rules for individual companies, you're basically picking winners with extra steps.

Longjumping_College

There's also a real chance QQQ hits $275 again, if we have a long term war that turns larger

stockist420

What does semi retired mean? How does the post relate to the title? Why ask about QQQ first then mention Nasdaq.

ChiefInternetSurfer

Even if you did post it a month ago, not everyone lives on Reddit. This is my first time seeing this, thanks for sharing it. Now I have to decide whether or not to stay invested in QQQ, or swap it out for something else…

Good_Ride_2508

If nasdaq-100 includes SPACE-X after 15 days, the decision is crazy for QQQ and TQQQs. Why? (even though complex situation, trying to show simple way how can it be harmful) Space X lists at nasdaq with 5% of float. Legally allowed ( Page 5 reference www dot sec dot gov/files/ipo-investorbulletin.pdf ): Underwriters can support the trading price of the new issue in its first few days of trading with certain trading activities, including purchasing shares of the company. This is often done to keep the trading price from falling too far below the offering price. Once this support ends, the stock price may decline significantly below the offering price. They keep the price for 15 days and then nasdaq-100 at the close of 15 day. Now, the price is pegged at when nasdaq-100 linked date. Simply space-x valuation is offloaded to NDX/QQQ holders. In future, when rest of the 95% is eligible to sell, every sell is spread across QQQ distribution. This means QQQ is used as a scapegoat for Space-X valuation. QQQ and TQQQ won't grow long time !

VictoriaAutNihil

Enough that on Monday, I'm selling what I'm in the green/black: PLTR, AMAT, IBM, QQQ. My current losers are high quality, but if they drop another 10%, they're going as well. I'd rather a t-bill until this Iranian debacle shows some possibility of soon ending. I'm not in my 20s, 30s, 40s; otherwise my strategy would in all likelihood be more aggressive.

Glam34

Similar but with QQQ. Im sure you could outperform SPY by selling CC...on SPY

Fomo4life69

QQQ dropped 33% from 2022 to 2023 because of the energy crisis back then. This is the biggest energy crisis ever… could be -50%

Sold everything in my Roth (all tech). Holding CVX calls, XLE commons, QQQ puts. Plan to cut shorter dates puts and reload on every bounce. Taking all profits and dumbing into Amazon LEAPs when this blows over

QQQ is +24% since this post, even including the recent decline.

As a results of the actions of Donald Trump, the American economy will suffer devastating consequences. An economy that was already fragile and headed towards recession as now had its fate sealed. A recession much greater than and much more catastrophic than the 08 recession is now a 100% guarantee, thanks to Israel, Netanyahu, and Trump. Inflation which was already very high to begin will soar to unprecedented levels rapidly (it already has- notice it cost about 35% more to fill up your car this week?) That being said, I've sold all 15 of my stock positions last week (when Trumped made false claims of a short term war to pump up the market), and bought multiple puts. Will be purchasing substantially more SPY and QQQ puts this week/ selling calls, increase gold & silver exposure and increase BTC holdings. That being said, I highly advise against in going on long on US markets at this time.

fungoodtrade

upper side of channel sell call credit spreads, lower side sell put credit spreads. I will usually leave QQQ spreads 10+ points OTM, so if the channel is 612-590, I write call spreads that are 625/635 and put spreads that are 580/570 . You can start there and keep selling closer to the money until it reverses. At that time you should be opening the put side as you are closing the call side. I suggest QQQ or SPY and targeting known supply and resistance levels. There are people trading 0DTE spreads. I'm usually trading 14DTE, or 7DTE. theta decay is pretty rapid. Longer DTE spreads don't have as much theta decay, but give you more room to roll. This is income generation from volatility that's all. Its not a long term directional bet. You can do iron condor as well, where you open both sides of the spread at the same time. I do that as well. I will sell any equities I have that are in the green next week. I will hold the losers for now, though I will also aggressively sell CCs on them, so if they continue down I can lower my cost basis as well.

jay4281

Damn crazy story! Thanks for the response. 2 more questions and that’s it haha. So you were lucky enough you had enough to cover all that and be able to exercise to cover but take me, a 10k account, who just made a credit spread of 20x on QQQ at 600 even if 1 contract gets assigned there’s no way I can cover. Should I just stop doing this? Second question - more of a statement is I heard to trade SPX because it’s cash settled only. Do you agree this is a better route?

Rude-Substance-3686

damn what’s everyone’s base case for the next 3–6 months on SPY and QQQ right now I’m treating this like late‑cycle startup funding, trimming the crazy bets and letting only the strongest conviction plays keep runway

amartya_dev

QQQ and IWM are good alternatives with cheaper premiums. Also look at liquid names like AAPL, AMD and NVDA or sector ETFs like XLF and XLE. But sticking to one ticker (like SPY) can actually help you read price action better.

fungoodtrade

I'm thinking insert today, snatch the uranium, Delta pinned down and trapped during asia, show lots of burning tankers during euro, and then successful extraction at 730EST and finally end the war at 830EST...

Thing is, while I did some put options on QQQ 2 weeks ago, it has been rather neutral, I do not exactly believe the market is rational enough that out of us, I am the winner. There is always some fuckery going on

there can be 1 million gallons of provably terrible shit...and all it takes is one boastful and naive and premature social media post from that guy and we're up 1.5% on QQQ at the Monday open.

Very much doubt that timeline. QQQ and SMH just turned to downtrend while mags and other main indices have already been for a while now. Semis are last leg to go.

No bitcoin has always been a hedge when you think your currency is going to shit because of war etc. btc has a very high beta with QQQ typically yet didn’t move at all this week because of capital flight
