AI Summary
Summary
The author warns that QQQ’s 30% rally in 30 trading days and SOXX’s weekly overbought reading are historically extreme, comparing to the Covid bounce and last year’s recovery.
Thesis: The relentless AI/semiconductor mania cannot continue indefinitely, and a correction is likely, though the exact catalyst is unclear.
Quality assessment: This is speculative noise / cautionary commentary rather than well-researched DD. No data beyond price action is provided.

QQQ is up \~30% is the last 30 (trading) days. Last time it went up that fast was when 🥭 🌮 on the April lows last year, going up 30% in 29 days. Before that it was Covid, 83% in 112 days. SOXX is as overbought (on the weekly) as it’s ever been. And SP500 is up 18% from its previous low. All I see is: “X stock is up 800% this year and here is why it’s still undervalued and could go another 100%.” I don’t even want to mention the names since we all know them.
This can’t go on forever, can it? Everything and everyone is winning (except for value investors, a moment of silence…). What causes this to stop? Can it even stop? Space, chips, memory.
