About Nasdaq 100 Positioning
Tech and growth sentiment in contract form. Nasdaq positioning tends to amplify S&P moves — when specs are bullish here, they're very bullish. Watch for divergences between Nasdaq and S&P positioning: when hedge funds load up on Nasdaq longs while reducing S&P exposure, they're making a concentrated bet on tech outperformance.
