QQQ
Live
QQQ 704.54 (−4.64) · vs 50SMA 709.97 · vs 200SMA 661.14
Nasdaq-100 ETF price relative to its 50-day and 200-day moving averages.
Core large-cap tech trend gauge.
Bottom signal Reclaim of the 50SMA after a washout, or a higher low vs a still-falling 200SMA — trend repair in large-cap tech.
How to read this Two readings: price vs each MA, and the 50SMA vs 200SMA cross. Both feed the bottom checklist.
Pullback in an intact uptrend — short-term weak, long-term still bullish.
- Price vs 50SMA: 704.54 is below 709.97 — intermediate trend weak.
- Price vs 200SMA: 704.54 is above 661.14 — long-term trend intact.
- MA cross: golden-cross setup (50SMA above 200SMA).
Checklist shortcuts Scenario Implication Price < 50, Price > 200 Pullback in uptrend — watch for 50SMA reclaim Price > 50 and 200 Healthy uptrend — bottom likely already in play Price < 50 and 200 Real downtrend — no bottom signal yet 50SMA crosses below 200 Death cross — warning, don’t fight it 50SMA crosses above 200 Golden cross — bullish confirmation Trigger Cleanest flip from pullback → resumed uptrend: price reclaims and holds the 50SMA (709.97) while staying above the 200SMA (661.14).

How to read this Same MA framework as QQQ, but more important — semis often lead tech cycles. Read price vs each MA, then the 50/200 cross.
Semis correcting but still leading — short-term momentum broken, long-term trend intact.
- SMH vs 50SMA: 542.11 is below 566.84 — short-term semi momentum breaking.
- SMH vs 200SMA: 542.11 is above 484.18 — semi regime intact.
- MA cross: golden-cross setup (50SMA above 200SMA).
Checklist shortcuts Scenario Implication SMH closes below 50SMA Short-term semi momentum breaking — often precedes broader tech weakness SMH reclaims & holds 50SMA Semi correction likely ending; leadership stabilizing SMH crosses below 200SMA Serious regime-risk for semis — full corrections, not just noise SMH reclaims & holds 200SMA Potential major low in semis; leadership healing Price > 50 and 200 Semis leading and healthy Price < 50, Price > 200 Semis correcting but still leading Price < 50 and 200 Leadership breaking — broad bottom not yet Trigger Cleanest flip from semi pullback → resumed leadership: SMH reclaims and holds the 50SMA (566.84) while staying above the 200SMA (484.18).

How to read this Same MA framework as QQQ/SMH, but the question is broader-tech health: is the tape healing beyond a few giants?
What it is The NYSE Arca Tech 100 (^PSE) is a broader technology index — more equal-weighted across tech names than mega-cap-heavy QQQ. Use it to check whether tech strength (or washout) extends past the largest stocks.
Pullback in a still-intact long-term tech trend — short-term weak, 200SMA still support.
- ^PSE vs 50SMA: 10281.22 is below 10442.5 — intermediate trend weak.
- ^PSE vs 200SMA: 10281.22 is above 9574.99 — long-term trend intact.
- MA cross: golden-cross setup (50SMA above 200SMA).
Checklist shortcuts Scenario Implication Price > 50 and 200 Broader tech healthy — bottom likely already in play beyond mega-caps Price < 50, Price > 200 Pullback in uptrend — watch for 50SMA reclaim Price holds above 200SMA Long-term support intact — drawdown may be stabilizing Price < 50 and 200 Broad tech downtrend — no confirmation yet Reclaims 200SMA after break Major-low candidate for broader tech Trigger Bottom confirmation: ^PSE holds above the 200SMA (9574.99) and reclaims/holds the 50SMA (10442.5) — broader tech stabilizing, not just Nasdaq megacaps.

XLK
——Click anywhere on the chart to set an alert level.
How to read this Read the ratio’s direction and base — bottom confirmation is a turn up from a depressed level, not XLK alone making new highs.
What it is RYT is an equal-weight tech ETF; XLK is market-cap-weighted tech (mega-cap heavy). The RYT ÷ XLK ratio shows whether the average tech stock is keeping up with the giants. Rising ratio = broadening; falling ratio = concentration in a few megacaps.
Broadening tape — more of the tech complex joining; supports a durable tech bottom.
- RYT/XLK: 0.3385.
- Ratio rising — equal-weight tech outperforming mega-cap-heavy XLK; participation broadening.
- XLK (cap-weight context): 183.74.
Checklist shortcuts Scenario Implication Ratio rising Equal-weight outperforming — rally broadening past mega-caps Ratio falling Mega-caps dominating — index strength may be narrow/fragile Ratio turns up from a low base Bottom confirmation — participation returning under the surface XLK up, ratio still down Leaders-only bounce — wait for equal-weight to catch up Trigger Checklist pass: RYT/XLK stops falling and turns up from a depressed base — the tech rally is spreading beyond a handful of mega-caps.

Options positioning specific to tech names when available.
Sentiment washout specific to tech holdings.
Bottom signal Extreme put buying in tech followed by normalization — sentiment washout in the names you hold.
Showing CBOE equity put/call (market-wide) until a tech-sector put/call feed is wired.
Put/Call Options
- <0.50 Bullish
- 0.50–0.75 Neutral
- 0.75–1.0 Bearish
- >1.20 Oversold
Bearish——Click anywhere on the chart to set an alert level.
How to read this Bottom checklist wants an extreme bearish spike, then a fall back toward normal — not the raw level alone.
What it is Equity put/call ratio = put volume ÷ call volume. Higher readings mean more hedging/bearish bets; lower readings mean more bullish/speculative call buying.
Mid-range — not particularly actionable alone.
- Current PCR: 0.7861 — near normal equity range (~0.7–0.8 is common).
- Rising — put demand still increasing.
- Normal equity PCR often clusters around ~0.7–0.8; extremes matter more than the middle.
Checklist shortcuts Scenario Implication PCR ≥ 1.2–1.5 Extreme fear / capitulation — watch for rebound setups PCR > 1.0 Elevated bearish sentiment — puts dominate calls PCR < 0.5 Euphoria — aggressive call buying; pullback risk Extreme high → falls toward 0.6–0.8 Panic peaked and is unwinding — checklist pass Trigger Bottom-like signal: PCR surges to a statistically extreme high vs recent history, then drops back toward its normal range (~0.6–0.8) — everyone bought protection, then stopped.

ARKK
——Click anywhere on the chart to set an alert level.
How to read this Bottom confirmation is the ratio stopping its decline and turning up — speculative growth starting to outperform again, not just QQQ bouncing.
What it is ARKK is a basket of high-growth, often unprofitable / long-duration tech and innovation names. QQQ is mega-cap Nasdaq-100 tech. The ARKK ÷ QQQ ratio shows whether speculative growth risk appetite is healing relative to the leaders — a classic early bottom tell.
Risk appetite still weak — ARKK-style names lagging; treat QQQ strength as incomplete without this turn.
- ARKK/QQQ: 0.1185.
- Ratio falling — speculative growth still underperforming mega-cap tech; risk-off in the long-duration names.
- ARKK (absolute price context): 83.49.
Checklist shortcuts Scenario Implication Ratio rising Speculative growth outperforming — risk appetite returning Ratio falling High-growth lagging mega-caps — risk-off still in force under the surface Ratio turns up from a low base Early bottom tell — unprofitable tech risk bid returning QQQ up, ratio still down Leaders-only bounce — wait for ARKK-style names to catch a bid Trigger Checklist pass: ARKK/QQQ stops falling and turns up from a depressed base — risk appetite returning in speculative growth before it fully shows in mega-caps.
