Made a couple thousand Monday shorting QQQ thinking of doing it again but on DRAM
Yup finally some common sense. About to break new high likely soon on QQQ, and dragging up SnP. If the business of fesr was not so profitable in 2026, everyone would be seeing the same thing
War will hold you back in life. The QQQ is completely un correlated on a wkly tf to Russell. That tells you money is backing tech no traditional business. Money never elaves the market, its your job to know where it is and put yours in thr same place . Sitting out is shorting the entire mechanics, and assuming everyone is out...if that were the case they would all be down, indexes, commodities.
I'm the wrong gyt to ask about the QQQ. Lost my butt the past few years. But, gold is a hedge. Gotta be long term
I buy QQQ, and the S&P goes up while QQQ drops
QQQ was $745 in June btw lol. 3 months of flat
QQQ is largely being held up by the large tech companies (eg: MAG7). They are INSANELY profitable companies. They could wether interest rate hikes without issue... The combined debt of the MAG7 is \~$500b. A 1% interest rate hike (so even more tahn you suggested) would result in a staggering.... $5b in extra interest. Their combined profit? 2.3 billion a day. So they would lose, collectively, less than 2 days worth of profits. And QQQ is more than MAG7. They'll be fine.
QQQ has a PE of \~30 here, fairly inline with it's historical / fair averages. Invest in indices and chill. During the dot com bubble it was well over 100. These two things are not alike. Of course if you pick the single AI moonshot with a PE of 300... you'll probably get burnt. But if you index, you'll be fine.
Yes of course, the entire world is invested in SPY, QQQ, VOO, etc. but the passive index investing does not inflect crashes 👀
How about today. Didn’t Nvidia open green and Tesla open red. Or amd for example. Or the QQQ.

Try to utilize $TICK & $ADD on your chart for your entries. Also Short Iron Condor or credit spreads if you trade SPY/QQQ 0dte instead of just buying calls/pulls. Not every day is trending day.

They have Algo set to not let QQQ go down. It really is fucking unbelievable to me.
The divergence is elastic both ways. A sharp increase in QQQ in a short time will return MORE than 3x QQQ. So if you’re particularly bullish on a short timeline, like I am through tech earnings, you can bet on that gap closing. Like I am. But I’m a moron, so what do I know?
QQQ is 1% off ATH. you are a moron if you think that divergence means you should dump into TQQQ

Can anyone tell me what is holding QQQ up today?
Exactly. The only way I see QQQ being a bad investment is if the U.S is absolutely annihilated in a war. Until then, tech, research and STEM is really what this country is about at the highest levels. To bet against that is betting against Scientific Power in general as the U.S always pulls the best Research/Engineering/STEM minds from other countries. That is why the U.S is still top dog when it comes to hard power.

There's a valid argument to drop the Nasdaq specifically because of the abusive rule changes they introduced for SpaceX, which Anthropic will also utilise (and OpenAI if they do IPO). Any company big enough to be in their top 40 by IPO valuation can skip any seasoning period, and force passive investors to buy within 15 days, long before insiders can sell. But the more damaging change is that tiny free floats are tripled in weight. If Anthropic lists just 5% of their company, the Nasdaq behaves as if 15% is available. Funds like QQQ then push prices up chasing a shrunken pool of shares. Anyone holding Nasdaq funds is now likely to pay an hidden IPO tax to private equity. It won't be massive (unless one of these companies crashes) but it may well be comparable to ETF fees.
I've heard this line of thought for 25 years, yet over that time QQQ has minted many a millionaire. The difference between 25 years ago and say 10 years ago is "tech" is now engrained in modern business and social life and it has been the primary driver of growth; it touches every business, every person and every developed nation. If you wanted to argue tech was speculative 25 years ago it would be a fair concern.

Wow strong V from QQQ while 🥭 speaks
LOL consumer confidence in the bin. Back in short on QQQ, EZ credit spreads
I think the strategy on QQQ > SMA200 is solid. What I would be worried about is when it’s below this number or when it starts crossing multiple times in a short period. You stated deployment of 50% with 10% decline and 100% with 20% crash. It’s a data history problem, these have happened a few times in the last decade, while these 2% drops have happened numerous times. There have been times that the 2% drop didn’t rebounce. This might also happen with the 10-20% crash one day. Triple leveraged in a good market is not where strategies are battle tested. It’s when we’re dealing with those covid type of periods without knowing what will happen.
AMD puts $614 thank me later. Same guy that had the fat ass Tesla 0dte puts people were clowning for shorting a EV company during an energy crisis that inverses the QQQ. Yeah get a load of those retards.

Nothing survives the V.. Nothing ever will. Getting this market, especially the QQQ to stay down is so beyond impossible, it's wild that people even believe its a possibility. So yes, anyone celebrating red futures when they just press a button and make it green is delusional.

I’d only be grasping at straws really. Dealer positioning is positive info Wednesday, 780 on SPY, up to 760 on QQQ. Hard to tell if they are just hedging a robust TACO or if it’s MU earnings (expectations are bullish). There are a mix of positive and negative catalysts this week, and the rate of change in positioning is much faster with 10yr so high. I have some QQQ weekly calls purchased yesterday, that I’d close out if we see 745-750 before Wednesday close.

Gonna be a bad month for the QQQ i predict
Marry SPY Fuck QQQ Kill VOO
I know. It's unfortunate because it's actually painfully easy to double your money using options. Real example: QQQ was down 11 and some change this morning. I think to myself, "I bet it will move up at least 3 dollars throughout the day and recover some." I buy a few ITM calls for 2.88. I set the limit for 6.00. Since it gains a dollar when it moves up one dollar when it eventually did move up (way more than) 3 dollars in that one god candle I doubled my money. S-K. No need for anything wild or complex. I double my bets like this all the time by just betting the distance a price will move from an anchored point.
Are my QQQ calls looking good for tomorrow morning?
Looks kind of shitty, not looking forward to tomorrow. Give me a 10-15% correction on both SPY and QQQ, better than this slow bleeding. Everything is still overpriced and nothing is worth buying.
QQQ puts Jan expire will print no question 95% chance! Thinking about dropping $5k on this.....

They’re taking off downside protection rather than paying up for new puts (so this really isn’t bearish).

SMH or QQQ calls?
It looks like SPX will touch 7800 at some point this week. That’s what the positioning was looking like on Friday and it seems relatively unchanged today, despite the heavy selling and choppy close today. I want to see QQQ 745-750 and I’ll close out most of my qqq calls but leave some runners. My target is to have them closed out before Wed close
I play QQQ looking for 743 to print close to market open. Then 739 for close. QQQ has a bit more action than SPY.
Good job though) Is there a big difference between SPY and QQQ? I tried them once and got slightly intimidated. The bid-ask spread was very big and the volume was not
That gap from 726 to 722 on QQQ is getting filled in the next month, guaranteed.
