Anyway, QQQ finished yesterday at 711.37, and with premarket at 716.98 the big number for Thursday is still 746.16, its 52-week closing high. After the close, earnings give this morning a real excuse to matter: MRVL and AFRM report. Above 746.16, QQQ can restart the move toward new closing highs; a close back under 746.16 kills it.

Cheap or expensive — does this square with how filling up feels?

18%: that’s semiconductors’ share of trading dollars across 14 sectors this week, down from 24% over the prior quarter. In plain terms, a smaller slice of market activity is flowing through chip stocks than it was over the last three months. Dollar-volume share shows where trading activity concentrated, not whether prices rose; measured from daily closing prices.

This morning, COP and OXY are telling different stories. They’ve moved together over the past year (correlation 0.81), but their price gap is now 2.6 standard deviations from its 6-month average — COP has run far ahead of OXY. Put simply, this is a wider-than-usual split between two close energy peers, measured from daily closing prices.
