Read guide →About QQQ
QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100, heavily weighted toward mega-cap tech (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL). This concentration means QQQ moves are amplified by tech earnings season and AI narrative shifts.
IV runs 15-22% normally, expanding to 25-40% during tech sell-offs. Higher beta than SPY means wider expected moves and larger premiums, but also bigger potential losses.
Sensitive to mega-cap tech earnings in late January and late April/early May. FOMC rate decisions and Treasury yield movements also drive significant price action.
