Bullish on QQQ this week. Tech selloff caused by DeepSeek 2: The Anthropalypse, is ghey This is not financial advice and is intended for educational purposes only.

Because they’re short software and need the QQQ’s to stay bellow the 100dma.

IGV holding could really free up QQQ. SLV finding footing might calm some of the risk-off moves too.

Inevitable_Pin7755

Yeah, something like SPY would be safer than QQQ if the goal is to reduce concentration. You still get plenty of tech exposure, just spread across more sectors so you’re not fully tied to one theme. Another option is keeping QQQ but shrinking it and pairing it with a broad market fund so tech doesn’t drive 90% of the outcome. There’s no perfect answer, it’s more about what lets you actually hold for 30 years without second guessing. I’ve been thinking through the same trade offs myself and writing them down so I don’t change plans mid cycle. It’s on my profile if you want to see how I frame it.

Inevitable_Pin7755

I get the thinking, tech has been the clear winner and leaning into your conviction is not crazy. Just be aware XLK and QQQ overlap a lot, so it’s basically one big bet expressed a few different ways. That can work, but it’s less diversified than it looks. For a 30 year hold the real risk isn’t volatility, it’s long flat periods where nothing happens and people lose patience. Even a small non tech slice can help with that without killing upside. I’ve been sanity checking similar long term setups lately and writing things down so I don’t lie to myself later. It’s on my profile if you’re curious.

RPEdmonton

I like the idea of doing either QQQ OR XLK but there is a huge over lap between them. Why not 50% Tec.to and 50% Xeqt.to?

For long term, QQQ less risk and fees. TQQQ is 3x leveraged, higher risk but good for short term.

QQQ is my long term investment too 😁 I say just buy if all now if you don’t have any outstanding loans with interest rate > 6%. We can’t predict the future so who knows whether it will go up or down, the companies won’t collapse so even if it goes down it builds itself up eventually.

le_Derpinder

Don't do it ^(the way you are going to do it. You'll get a lot less mileage with your $34k). ^(SPY or QQQ 1DTE contracts are usually around $200-$300 which is usually either double or half the money on the next day open. Get 1 or 2 of these lottery tickets at a time until you get it right to up your position size. This way your $34k will go a long way as well as instill a discipline of trading.)

alexmark002

Short QQQ or IWM? Hard to decide

IndependentAd3410

I will be watching IGV, BTC, and SLV support lines closely. IGV has been a large drag on the NASDAQ, and if it can hold (not even bounce but just stop dumping) I think QQQ will breakout. SLV too, I think it's caused defensiveness due to risk of margin calls. If it can find some footing, I think people will take on more risk with the overall funds.

Good_Ride_2508

Eight years before, someone asked me like this "Magical crystal ball", that made me work on a Magic Crystal Ball project and I made it. Yes, it gave me a Trigger on Thursday, I bought a lot at close and after hour dipped further thursday, I bought again. Sold all my SPY calls at friday close, but holding all QQQ,SMH, TQQQ, SLV,GLD for this bull run. If there is a pull back tomorrow, I will be buying MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN and NFLX...etc

Buy some out if the money puts on QQQ or the S&P and then don’t worry about it. Hold.

Friday was a dead cat bounce for tech. QQQ is still in a down trend and in red ytd. Funds are offloading their tech stocks and rotate other underpumped sectors.

Fresh SPY ATH coming, then QQQ. This round of selling is over. More turbulence later this year.

gravescd

Some laid off tech employees cashing out is not nearly enough volume to account for the current market weirdness. The BTC selloff is happening alongside a broad rotation out of tech, a run up in precious metals, and rapid devaluation of the USD abroad. The entire planet is slowly turning away from both AI and US-centered trade/investment relationships. Just look at what happened Friday when the market bought the dip: DIA hit all time high while QQQ closed up, but below the 50 day moving average. Another bellwether: Conservative dividend ETF SCHD has climbed 15% since the start of 2026 - the steepest uptrend on its chart. And trading volume has been *increasing*.

Nervous-Tour-884

My thoughts are simple: What happens is going to boil down to what the world at large thinks the results mean in terms of checking Trump in terms of trade, international relations, and domestic policy. Will the dollar continue to fall, will the world continue to move away from it as a reserve currency, will the US still run unsustainable deficits, will the US continue to implement some sensible, along with a lot of really stupid trade/tariff policy that is in net, pretty awful? I don't think the sell America trade is going away while Trump is still in office. Between capital flight from US debt and equities and that money needing to go somewhere, national pride everywhere(buy European!, Buy Canadian, don't vacation in the US, etc) along with attractive international equity valuations, and a very bubbly looking Tech/Software/AI dominated by the US, I am just VXUS ing and chilling. Europe, EM, and Asia without too much China or Japan, everyone that is not the US will benefit from trading with each other in a fair manner, as long as they are careful to not let China crush domestic manufacturing and exploit them. 2025 was the first time in a long time where VXUS and foreign indexes in general outperformed the S&P500 or even QQQ over the year, and that is not going to change in 2026 imo.

OP, where do you have QQQ marked while pricing this ps? Asking at what price on QQQ shares are you marking the options?

BatOuttaHell1

This might be 30k on Monday if QQQ is at 416 and 416 has been a relative Low for QQQ this year. Big Balls holding through the weekend. I'm hoping you hit so big my brother.

95Daphne

Yeah QQQ/SPY (and frankly even though it's fallen a bit more, probably XLK too) being down "ONLY" XYZ level (like folks love touting) is keeping fairly significant technical damage hidden again. Maybe it won't matter but my optimism on that is low (as some would love to say "as per usual"). Timing on that may not be possible though, maybe financials/oil/etc will just rescue markets forever by continuing to run hard because the hard economic data is fine, and this year maybe ends up being... "The Revenge of the Old Economy" With the Dow up 25%+ with the XLK down 20-25%.

Ive been buying SCHD last year for this reason. Right now Im rotating out of SCHD and buying back into QQQ. Is it smart? Who knows. Nobody knows shit about fuck per our lord and savior Ruth Langmore.

Yeah, pretty much. bought QQQ puts after hours right after Amazon earnings. I was up 100% when AMZN started dumping, but i simply DID NOT REDEEM.

yonderoy

Everybody jokes about being regarded on this sub while I’m actually retarded (and regarded). I keep seeing this QQQ shit here. What the fuck is it and how can I lose my money betting on the wrong side? I’ll take my answers off the air. Thank you.

brontide

Seek help. $48k invested in QQQ in 2024 would be worth over $60k now. Invested in NVDA and you would have $200k. You're a bad gambler and likely already facing a huge tax bill from these trades that isn't included in your losses here.

amy-schumer-tampon

What difference between QQQ and spy?

LokiDesigns

I do it daily on QQQ 0DTEs

vegainz555

It’s not manipulation, it is just a basic market cycle. ORCL pumped only because QQQ had a short covering rally. You can’t short at the bottom of the move. Even if you’re bearish, wait for a bounce. Or, if there’s a breakdown with a follow through, you go along. But don’t short at the of a leg. Good luck out there!

vegainz555

Look, I get the frustration. But you gotta look at the charts of SPY and QQQ as well, especially when you trade those high beta stocks like PLTR. Qs in particular drilled way down on Thursday, so a relief rally was the base case. Watch Trade Brigade - he has daily pre-market live and also Wednesday and Saturday market overview. Straight charts, no nonsense. And PLTR is on his core list of companies, so he covers it 7 times a week. Back to PLTR. Stocks usually move in legs once they break out or down of the range. PLTR had a long lasting range, once it lost it for good, it sold. Then there was a small retrace after the earnings initial dip, but it never reclaimed a major level. So then it sold for another leg lower into the Thursday close. At that point it was a terrible trade location for a new short. You can place EMA 9 and 20 on your daily chart to help you get the general feel of what a stock or even an index is doing. If 9 is below 20 and they’re both downsloping, your bias should be short. But, also gotta look at the extension from the EMAs. If it’s pushing into the EMA, especially on weak bullish candles, look for a rejection and a short. Your risk is a close above those. Your reward can be easily 2x-3x that. On the flip side, if it’s far under the EMA, at the very least don’t short. You don’t have to go long, but can’t short in the hole. Wait for a bounce up and fade. Hope that helps, good luck!

ziggy_jackson

I just bought a QQQ call expiring on Feb. 10th, strike @ 615 iirc...cost me $135. I'll lyk how the trade goes either Monday or Tuesday

AICHEngineer

Voltargeting isnt a worthless idea. Its kinda like a trend filter. If you think about an SMA strategy like a 200 or 220 or 250 day, fairly long lookback, most high volatility days cluster beneath the SMA line and thats when you get out of levered positions. DVQQ/SP went down to ~50% exppsure during april, but they took a while to catch the rebound and missed some of the biggest days when trump would rugpull tarrif expectations. Then during the nice low vol summer they went almost 2x exposure and regained a lot of lost ground. But to me, WEBs is just solving the wrong problem with these products, and the fact that it costs 0.96% makes them worthless. Not to mention the costs of the swaps when they go long leverage. For reference, even a simple 220day SMA -/+1% buffer that switches between 100% QQQ and 50/50 QQQ/Cash did 4% higher CAGR than DVQQ since its inception, and going 2x vs 50/50 depending on the SMA signal still did 2%cagr better over the timeframe (had to eat that 40% QLD drawdown into liberation day). Some bad things about the company from their prospectus: "The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus." And Syntax's website is hard to find since they changed their name to WEBs ETF trust. In sumary: DVQQ is going to delist, I can almost guarantee it. They dont even have 4M AUM after a year. They have produced *higher* volatility than QQQ for half the CAGR while charging 0.96% ER vs QQQM at 0.15%. Also theyre not even kosher with the SEC yet. DVSP will almost certainly delist for the same reason. WEBs is a small hack shop riding the wave of niche over financialized ETF offerings charging 0.6-1.1 ER for things like options buffering, covered calls, vol targeting, put spread inclme, etc. All of these are bad.

600-550 Puts QQQ, March to April expiry, it is about to drop

notnormal999

99% in the market. Just not VOO, QQQ etc. About 50/50 international / US.

Technical_Scallion_2

That’s OK, it’s complicated. Stock prices are different, if information is priced in then the stock price won’t change automatically over time. But for options, the longer until they expire, the more additional value, called extrinsic value, is added on. So let’s say you have a Monday QQQ put at 600 and the price on Friday close is 599. Your put has an intrinsic value of 1, meaning at expiration it’s worth 1. But it sells for more than 1 on Friday because things might happen over the weekend to drop the stock, so it might sell for 2 on Friday at close because investors think it might jump up by Monday. But at Monday open, that “weekend unknown” disappears, and because you’re much closer to your expiration, now the chance it will drop more is reduced. So now, even if the stock price is the same as Friday, this reduced chance means it might only be worth $1.50. This is called theta decay and you really shouldn’t buy options before learning more about it.

chewbaccajesus

I mean if you want to do a relatively low risk US political instability hedge just stack some VXUS. If you want to be a bit more frisky, stack up some precious metals or country-specific ETFs. I think VXUS for the next 2-3 years will be a pretty safe play and I would wager it will outperform the US indices because the current folks in charge are literally the dumbest people who have run this country in the past 100 years so the odds that they will break more things is rather high. Just a few days back I read how all these nearly complete green energy projects - generating enough power for about 10-20M homes - are being stalled and shelved. Infrastructure projects being politicized left and right - look at the insanity with the gateway project. Attracting top level PhDs to our universities and companies is taking a big hit with all the anti-immigration stuff, biotech - one of the things we still crush China in - is being eroded by the attack on NIH grants. The tariffs of course - the legacy US car industry is going to get hit bad if Canada starts importing chinese cars and the Detroit-centric car plants in Canada shut down because of tariffs. This is not a guaranteed thing but the my conclusion has been that the current administration is just downright incompetent. Trump is a wannabe fascist and will do really ridiculous things like block projects because they won't name them after him or because windmills are ugly (???). To be clear, I think the risk to American democracy is overblown but I think when we look back we will conclude that this administration was an absolute disaster for America economically. Like the dude threatened to attack a NATO member because his feefees were hurt that they didn't give him a Nobel prize. This dude is a black swan factory. So yea, I would move a bigger-than-normal stash overseas. I did it back in October (was 100% VOO/QQQ and now am 25/25/50 VOO/QQQ/VXUS) and it has paid off quite handsomely.

WinstonBuddyBro

Tech looks shaky. Friday wasn’t enough. Eventually we’ll see -20% Nasdaq. Soon, not sure exactly when. QQQ is under the 100 MA on the daily chart for the 4th day in a row. Last time it was under that level for longer than 2 days was the liberation crash last year.

hannyayoukai

If the option opens around **$1.50–$2.20** per share, meaning the position drops to roughly **$9,000–$13,200** at the bell. That's an immediate **$3,000–$7,000 haircut** just from weekend theta before you can even click "sell." If QQQ just sits at $609.54 all day: * **By noon:** \~$0.80–$1.20/share → position worth \~$4,800–$7,200 * **By 2:00 PM:** \~$0.30–$0.60/share → position worth \~$1,800–$3,600 * **By 3:30 PM:** collapse toward \~$0.05–$0.10 → position worth \~$300–$600 * **At 4:00 PM expiration:** **$0.00** → the option expires worthless, $0.46 out of the money Hope this helps.

WinstonBuddyBro

QQQ put. 3 month out. Whatever strike closest to the money you can afford.

crankycroquette

People arent wrong when they say that there is theta decay on the weekends...if there wasn't theta decay, then your calls would still be 2.73 if QQQ opens at the same price it closed at on Friday...the thing is, even if QQQ opens at the exact same price as Friday's close, these calls would only be worth close to half of what they closed at on Friday...so around 1.20 to 1.50...that is the theta decay at work what people misunderstand is that the theta decay over the weekend is already priced in to take into account the risk of gap up or down...it isn't free money to be selling options on Friday and then thinking you can cash in on the theta decay come Monday...because shit rarely ever opens at the exact same price as it closed on friday Weekend theta isn't free money...it's the premium an option writer gets for taking on the risk of a gap up or down come Monday when the market open

deja-roo

He's out of the money. It's a $610 call and QQQ is trading below $610 (barely).

deja-roo

I assume you're pretty new to this and you just gambled and got a winning ticket. This is an *at the money* 0DTE call at the moment. They're actually slightly out of the money. You're holding the highest theta decay configuration *possible*. Unless you see a big bump in tech stocks in pre-market trading Monday morning, you're going to get crushed at open. Like... > 620 calls would be burned at open if it's flat. Not 610. How do you think this actually works? You know how the call option works, right? This contract expires on Monday. It's currently out of the money. The *only* value it has is theta right now. If QQQ does not go up on Monday, these calls expire worthless. And if QQQ doesn't go up *before* Monday, opening is going to see these cut to about $1.50 apiece at open. If QQQ goes up $1 by the closing bell, these options will expire with a value of about $0.60, a quarter of their current value. It was an idiotic move not to sell these on Friday.

jazzgrackle

He has to CALL someone (QQQ he has the money, as seen in the post) and ask for money. Then QQQ will say he can keep it or that he has to PUT it down. Those are the two options. That’s why they’re called options, btw.

EpsteinDrive400

I mean yea. QQQ could be 612 by open Monday morning too. Those cons still would only be $1.75 or somewhere around there. Good gains still but man, I wouldn't hold that shit over the weekend and risk $10k

WinstonBuddyBro

That’s a good point about Friday, but all that buying pressure has to run out soon. It might not be next week. But the writing is on the wall for tech. Last week was a warm up for a bigger drop eventually. I’m starting a small position in SQQQ as soon as QQQ crosses back over the 100 MA to put my money where my mouth is. We’ll see. 🤷‍♂️

WinstonBuddyBro

I’m just a retard, but I’m bearish as all fuck for tech. Nasdaq will dump like it’s 2000. Even with Friday’s rally, QQQ is still under the 100 MA on the daily. The last time it went under that line for longer than 2 days was February into April of last year. That big liberation day crash. Friday was just a dead cat bounce for foolish buyers. Big red coming to shit all over everyone.

Embarrassed-Sky6890

# Just saw a post of a guy who turned QQQ calls from 300-16000 during the week and held until this upcoming Monday LMAO

helipad668

Exactly, unexpected… for puts to pay you need uncertainty a black swan, calls pays 99% of the time why even bother with stupid fucking put where you have to time it to perfection? Just buy calls on pullback and be the richest person on earth, never buying another puts fucking POS, I thought the pump would fade and they wouldn’t just pay calls so easily I was wrong… FUCK put options on SPY QQQ

doriftuGuy

QQQ calls after a week like this? And didn’t even think to grab a bit more of a time frame? Just going in raw with Monday expiration? Yeah you belong here 😭😭

WinstonBuddyBro

Nasdaq feels bearish to me. 4 days in a row under the 100 MA on the daily chart. Friday’s rally didn’t even put it above that line. The last time QQQ spent more than 2 days under the 100 MA was that massive pullback from February into April last year. Also, higher highs and lower lows, AKA broadening top. Usually bearish. The dow continues to look bullish, as it’s not so tech heavy.

Free_End_6376

This is the best analysis I’ve seen today! Wonderful work I am 100% with you and am holding puts from EOD that I scooped up on the QQQ some 1DTE, 3DTE

hudson701

The Dow is a beast, up 1200 points Friday and hit 50100! I've been watching it these past 6 years and it seems to guide the other two indices who follow behind it - when that bad boy drops on Monday it's gonna drag QQQ with it... I'm baffled why you went with calls? 'Vibes bro'

95Daphne

The story like 2021/2022 is confined to tech and especially, speculation. I'm not sure if whether this is 2021 or if whether this is 2022 and, in all honesty, the question likely will remain unresolved until QQQ either breaks below the Nov lows from last year or breaks above the $630 hard line in the sand so far. I just have my personal doubts that SPX is going to just easily thrive for 2026 with oil and staples being the winners and when you talk about how selloffs work, typically they shoot the trash first and then quality gets shot next. The rest of the market outside of the risk off areas is likely not going to fully survive what's going on in ARKK style. It just could wind up being a 2027 thing.

THE MSRKET ALWAYS BOUNCES ON A FRIDAY AFTER BEING DOWN 2% OR MORE EARLIER IN THE TRADING WEEK, IT IS CALL SHORT COVERING, PORTFOLIO REALLOCATION, AND SHORT SQUEEZE.

Easik

The reason it's dumb is because you need QQQ to hit $612.72 to be back to 16k. The market will open and you'll literally be sitting on $4-7k instead of $16k.

I don't really see the QQQ having a 1% day on Monday, but have fun with that market open -75%

Stunning-Dig-8916

What’s your opinion on the misperception of capex? We have seen the market getting fucked because of a belief capex is an indicator of failure. However, capex is bullish for companies within QQQ. I myself see a scenario where algos switch and become bullish on large capex. I think it’s a spring being pulled back. What’s your take on this?

Made some good bets on UNH, some worse ones on GLD/GDXJ, some SPY/QQQ, vertical spreads on NBIS/ASTS/NVIDIA

MagJack

im not losing anything if it goes down though. you said it yourself, they track each other. So if they do not go down, i collect the premium and nothing happens. If it does go down, I still collected the premium, and just trade QQQ for QQQM, which went down the exact same amount, and will rise the exact same amount when it rebounds.

LHeureux

Dude I'm thinking about trading even with NDX slopping down, I'm sure we'll find plenty of setups in the volume rotation into AI sector, you can see IWM and SPY doing well while NDX ranged the past months... Could be wasted time not to trade right now just because the QQQ are under the 10 and 20. Thoughts? Also it's funny seeing all the retards shitting on technicals. It's actually nice how it keeps the retards away from what works lol

Goodluck sir. I have a substantially larger position in puts on SPY and QQQ. I will buy you beer if you wish.

ServoFFXI

This market isn’t being held up by Robinhood dip buyers praying at the 100DMA. It’s being held up by $600B+ in AI capex, earnings revisions that can’t keep up, and funds that have to own this stuff or underperform. Sideways chop ≠ distribution. This is absorption. Big money doesn’t FOMO tops, they buy while everyone’s bored and arguing over lines on a chart. If this was a real breakdown, price wouldn’t keep snapping back every time sellers try to push it. “Support becomes resistance” only works when there’s a crowd trapped and panicking. Who’s trapped here? Funds with 5-year mandates and cash printers? Lol. They don’t care about your breakeven line. Nasdaq vs SPY divergence? Cool story. In every growth bull ever, SPY plays boomer anchor while tech reloads. SPY holding its 100DMA is not a short signal, it’s the market saying “relax.” Buffett Ratio screaming overvalued? Yeah, it screamed that for years last cycle too. GDP math doesn’t price AI buildouts, and margins aren’t mean-reverting when demand is structural. Valuation only matters after earnings stop exploding. Shorting QQQ at the 100DMA is cute, but it’s also how you get vaporized when Jensen coughs on a mic or some hyperscaler bumps capex guidance by 5%. One gap up and those puts go to zero while you refresh Yahoo Finance in disbelief. TL;DR: This is a capex + earnings market, not a vibes + liquidity market. Until earnings crack or the money actually stops, drawing lines and yelling “correction” is just cosplay trading.

pink_ego_box

Support on liberation day was found at Spy 500 QQQ 400

itsnotshade

I think a simpler way of putting it is that there’s a rotation out of tech into other sectors that either got hit hard by tariff fears or are positioned to do well whether or not tech booms. The fact that qqq couldn’t hit its previous ath before collapsing should be a giveaway. It would take all the software companies coming back and/or the mag 7 that are spending big for it to just come back to where it was a week ago. I think it’s safer to go long IWM and SPY but yes be cautious about QQQ popping off again.

mavica1

Start out VOO for long term very low risk stuff, then venture to QQQ/SPY for a bit more volatility. Still low risk. Thats as far as I go, so thats all the advice I could give lol. Also, I may elect not to buy in right this moment.

iannoyyou101

Earlier than this mate. QQQ -15% by opex

throwawaydonaldinho

I went balls deep in to QQQ puts at close. Lets see how this works out.

stonksonlygoupyolo

trade 0dte SPY/QQQ flip a coin go either up or down.

no_simpsons

yes. AI helped me replicate the Bridgewater and AQR strategies- Risk weighting with volatility based targeting model in Excel. I rebalance every day. The weirdest thing is that I ran VIXY through the position sizing engine for the orthogonality and it appears to have dropped the CAGR from -99% to -1% over a 5 year back test. I was perfectly happy having a left tail hedge for essentially free, but then I decided to test /VX instead and the results were insanely good. It ended up being even more profitable than QQQ over the backtest period. Had a MAR ratio of around 150% while being long Vol!!! I designed it using CoPilot and showed it to Claude and it responded with "holy shit" and both models independently of each other told me I could write and academic paper about it. kind of weird. I'm running it live now and my P/L ties out exactly to the projected model in excel every day... kind of hard to say if it's "profitable" yet given the volatility over the last week, but I mean, I'm tracking the model every day and the backtest at least is very strong.

Yeah there is no volume in NDX options, QQQ options have more volume.

I actually do believe in MSTR long term I think there is a growing use for bitcoin hope* for bitcoin to take off Too much hopes in the air dude. I am not an expert but I started on small account lost and made money and lost and made money and lost and made. So SPY, QQQ, IAUM, SCHD, SGOV (40%) GOOG, MSFT, APPL, TSMC, META (40%) 10% Yolo on options and 10% high risk high reward stocks. Sell IAUM, SGOV when market tanks and buy other stocks equally. When made money on options during ATH keeps buying SGOV IAUM SCHD. And now my account dosen’t tank abnormally. Hope you do same
