QQQ implied volatility from real option prices: every session of the last 90 days, the monthly history since 2022 vs SPY and QQQ, and the term structure.
February 24, 2022: Russia invaded Ukraine and US stocks gapped down, then closed green. The full reversal, plus oil, gold, defense, bonds and the aftermath.
A chip rout, a bounce, the summer's wildest open, and NVDA's Friday, netting out to a quiet index week where most stocks fell and MU out-traded SPY itself.
NVDA woke up and led the whole tape a day after sitting out. META doubled down, MU cooled, small caps slipped, and the index barely moved. Friday in numbers.
Chip equipment gapped up hard and faded, mega-caps gapped down and ripped back, the tape flipped decisively green, and NVDA sat it out, closing red.
A one-day chip bounce the index barely felt: most semis green, NVDA up a second day, MU the heaviest dollar name, and a broad tape more than two-to-one red.
A semiconductor break the index barely felt: chips down hard, NVDA green through it, a two-to-one red tape, and SPY quoting its tightest spread in a month.
Back from the Independence Day break: a growth-led gap up, a sector split several times the index move, a reverse-split wall, the month's tightest quotes.
Holiday-eve rotation: green breadth under a falling Nasdaq, tech last of the eleven sector funds, memory-rout day two, and the split that faked a crash.
The second half opened quiet at the index and violent underneath: the memory complex broke, META jumped, and most S&P sectors still closed green.
The quarter's last session in numbers: a technology-led index gain over a mostly red tape, the memory complex on top, and a same-day options tape at the close.
June 29, 2026 in numbers: a growth-led index gain, a four-point sector spread, a memory-stock round trip, the 0DTE tape, penny-tight quotes and rates.
