QQQ vs 50DMA / 200DMA
QQQ
Live
QQQ 687.99 (+4.44) · vs 50DMA 715.09 · vs 200DMA 645.04
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 50DMA after a washout, or a higher low vs a still-falling 200DMA — trend repair in large-cap tech.
How to read this Two readings: price vs each MA, and the 50DMA vs 200DMA cross. Both feed the bottom checklist.
Pullback in an intact uptrend — short-term weak, long-term still bullish.
- Price vs 50DMA: 687.99 is below 715.09 — intermediate trend weak.
- Price vs 200DMA: 687.99 is above 645.04 — long-term trend intact.
- MA cross: golden-cross setup (50DMA above 200DMA).
Checklist shortcuts Scenario Implication Price < 50, Price > 200 Pullback in uptrend — watch for 50DMA reclaim Price > 50 and 200 Healthy uptrend — bottom likely already in play Price < 50 and 200 Real downtrend — no bottom signal yet 50DMA crosses below 200 Death cross — warning, don’t fight it 50DMA crosses above 200 Golden cross — bullish confirmation Trigger Cleanest flip from pullback → resumed uptrend: price reclaims and holds the 50DMA (715.09) while staying above the 200DMA (645.04).

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 50DMA: 540.53 is below 596.17 — short-term semi momentum breaking.
- SMH vs 200DMA: 540.53 is above 450.53 — semi regime intact.
- MA cross: golden-cross setup (50DMA above 200DMA).
Checklist shortcuts Scenario Implication SMH closes below 50DMA Short-term semi momentum breaking — often precedes broader tech weakness SMH reclaims & holds 50DMA Semi correction likely ending; leadership stabilizing SMH crosses below 200DMA Serious regime-risk for semis — full corrections, not just noise SMH reclaims & holds 200DMA 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 50DMA (596.17) while staying above the 200DMA (450.53).

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, 200DMA still support.
- ^PSE vs 50DMA: 10227.48 is below 10389.98 — intermediate trend weak.
- ^PSE vs 200DMA: 10227.48 is above 9234.69 — long-term trend intact.
- MA cross: golden-cross setup (50DMA above 200DMA).
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 50DMA reclaim Price holds above 200DMA Long-term support intact — drawdown may be stabilizing Price < 50 and 200 Broad tech downtrend — no confirmation yet Reclaims 200DMA after break Major-low candidate for broader tech Trigger Bottom confirmation: ^PSE holds above the 200DMA (9234.69) and reclaims/holds the 50DMA (10389.98) — broader tech stabilizing, not just Nasdaq megacaps.

XLK
——Click chart to set · Copy link shares all levels · drag · ↑ ↓
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): 175.35.
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.

Bearish——Click chart to set · Copy link shares all levels · drag · ↑ ↓
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: 0.8159 — near normal equity range (~0.7–0.8 is common).
- Little day-to-day change.
- 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 chart to set · Copy link shares all levels · drag · ↑ ↓
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: 0.1035.
- Ratio falling — speculative growth still underperforming mega-cap tech; risk-off in the long-duration names.
- ARKK (absolute price context): 71.24.
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.
