Tech just got dragged behind the woodshed and Apple was the only one who didn't take the beating.

Tech just got dragged behind the woodshed and Apple was the only one who didn't take the beating.

Intel down 5.57%, sitting at 100.32. Worst drop on this board today. Oracle right behind it — down 5.38% to 152.94. Two names, same kind of pain, no coincidence.

AMD off 3.36% to 503.60. Nvidia down 2.37% to 218.36. Chips are getting sold across the board, and Broadcom at negative 0.97% is the only chip-adjacent name that mostly held — small loss, but it's still red.

Apple up 3.56% to 326.57. The outlier. Only major tech name that closed green in a session that punished the sector.

Meta down 1.42% to 644.38. UNH dropped 1.22% to 388.28. Tesla off 1.16% to 363.56. Salesforce down 0.48% — quiet but still on the wrong side.

Google slipped 0.59%. Exxon up 0.61% — the other counterpoint to the red tape today, and the only energy name worth noting when everything else is bleeding.

Futures confirm the damage. SPY off 0.60%. QQQ down 1.06% — tech leads the drop there too. IWM down 1.01%. DIA off 0.63%. Broad-based, but QQQ is where the pressure lives.

VIX at 17.84. Not panic territory, but elevated enough to notice. Gold data unavailable. Asian overnight markets unavailable. No economic calendar events today — this move is pure price and positioning.

Earnings after close: ANAB reporting with a negative EPS estimate. CRMT with a negative 0.79 estimate — that's the one to watch for magnitude. BUKS also on deck. Pre-market tomorrow: HOFT, MNY, and RENT — all carrying negative estimates going in.

No scheduled macro catalyst today means this selloff is the story. Apple held. Exxon held. Everything else in tech got repriced lower on a Friday. That combination heading into a weekend with VIX pushing toward 18 is worth knowing.

Numbers don't lie. People do. Trade accordingly.
