A Nasdaq 100 open under $700 breaks the support level traders have been defending, and a close below it puts the mega-cap tech trade on the defensive.

The Nasdaq 100 $QQQ is the chart to watch today. It's currently set to open below key support at $700. https://t.co/z6peAc3Mrm

SPYheating up fast

Retail traders are piling into the broad index bet, with 454 comments on the S&P 500 tracker topping every single stock today. Chipmaker chatter stays bullish, while the mood on the software giant and the EV maker has turned bearish and the iPhone maker splits the room.

GMEsouring fast

Nvidia owns the room with 573 comments, but traders can't agree on direction, and the same split hangs over Tesla. GameStop is drawing nearly as much talk with the mood souring fastest, while QQQ chatter heats up.

buy low sell high? good idea, might have to try it

A 0DTE SPY and SPX run from $48,000 to $900,000 in two months is the kind of post that pulls new traders into the riskiest product on the board. The top comments are already picking apart the screenshot, and nobody posts the accounts that went to zero.
