Chip Selloff Pressures Nasdaq 100 Tape; NFLX Signal Stays Neutral
What happened
The Nasdaq 100 is showing signs of strain after semiconductor stocks sold off, with the weakness emerging even against a backdrop of cooler inflation readings. Chip stocks led the index lower despite the favorable macro reading, creating a divergence between improving economic conditions and deteriorating price action in key tech sub-sectors. The retreat has raised caution across large-cap growth names, with market participants reassessing near-term momentum in the broader technology complex.
The QL Read
With NFLX carrying a composite signal of 47/100 — firmly neutral — and breadth only marginally positive at 50.7% advancing, the chip-led Nasdaq softness adds pressure to an already unresolved tape. There is no clear directional conviction to lean on here.
