Monday’s 3.54% surge in QQQ looks encouraging on the surface, especially with AMD jumping on tangible cloud news while NVDA pulled back. That rotation shows capital isn't blindly chasing the entire sector anymore; it’s becoming selective. However, after a hot October payrolls print (165k vs. 59k expected), the 10-year Treasury yield has already begun repricing fewer rate cuts. When yields climb, multiples on 30x forward-earnings tech names face mathematical gravity regardless of AI optimism.
My base case isn’t an immediate crash, nor an unbridled breakout—it’s wider, choppy range-bound trading as the market digests whether disinflation is genuinely stalling.
What would change my mind? A soft CPI print alongside a retreat in the 10-year yield back toward key support, proving Monday’s rebound had real macro fuel behind it rather than just short-covering
