Featured ETF Analysis
As of 2026-10-12 · For educational purposes onlySPY
SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust
Price
$778.10
From High
-0.45% from 52W high
52W Range
$629.28 — $781.62
Bullish
+Set a new all-time high of $781.62, clearing the $779.37 ceiling that capped it since August
+Above 50-DMA $767.57 (+1.4%) and 200-DMA $722.93 (+7.6%)
+P/E 24.7 vs 24.9 nine days ago — multiple edging down into earnings season
Bearish
−Middle East escalation and surging oil revived inflation and rate-hike fears
−Only -0.45% from the new high — no cushion if the AI selloff resumes
−Flat on the session (-0.06%) after Thursday's -0.5% drop; the breakout hasn't extended
Resistance
$781.62
Support
$767.57
Target
$834.68
Broke to a new all-time high then stalled as Middle East oil and AI-spending doubts revived rate-hike fears — a breakout without follow-through.
QQQ
Invesco QQQ Trust (Nasdaq-100)
Price
$746.04
From High
-2.21% from 52W high
52W Range
$555.60 — $762.86
Bullish
+P/E 28.6, down from 30.6 nine days ago — real multiple compression from earnings, not price
+Set a new 52-week high of $762.86 before pulling back
++11.0% above the 200-DMA $672.18 and +3.0% above the 50-DMA $724.52
Bearish
−-2.21% from the $762.86 high after a 1.3% Nasdaq drop on AI-spending doubts
−Speculation over OpenAI's revenue revived the question of whether AI capex is justifiable
−-0.70% on the session and -0.47% since Oct 3 — momentum stalled at the highs
Resistance
$762.86
Support
$724.52
Target
$820.00
Earnings growth finally pulled the multiple from 30.6 to 28.6, but the tape stalled as AI-spending scepticism hit the very chips that drove it there.
SMH
VanEck Semiconductor ETF
Price
$590.99
From High
-12.03% from 52W high
52W Range
$315.05 — $671.83
Bullish
+P/E collapsed from 43.1 to 31.6 in nine days — trailing EPS up ~28% as the memory cycle lands
+Premium to SPY narrowed from 68% to 28%; still +16.7% above the 200-DMA $506.24
+ROTH named SMH among its October tech-focused picks
Bearish
−-6.28% since Oct 3 — the RSI 85.7 overbought reading flagged then resolved downward
−-12.03% from the $671.83 ATH, with the 50-DMA $578.24 only 2.2% below
−OpenAI revenue speculation revived doubts the AI spending spree is justifiable
Resistance
$629.02
Support
$578.24
Target
$671.83
The overbought warning resolved into a 6% drop, but the de-rating came from earnings rather than price — SMH is genuinely cheaper at 31.6x than it was at 43x nine days ago.
GDX
VanEck Gold Miners ETF
Price
$88.53
From High
-24.45% from 52W high
52W Range
$68.13 — $117.18
Bullish
+P/E 14.0 still well below SPY's 24.7
+Gold rebounded 0.5% to $4,132.66 after hitting its lowest level since Aug 5
+Support cluster at $88.48 / $87.67 / $87.10 is holding so far
Bearish
−P/E rose from 11.3 to 14.0 as trailing earnings fell ~19% — the cheap case is eroding
−Below both the 50-DMA $92.67 (-4.5%) and 200-DMA $91.10 (-2.8%), both now resistance
−Gold at $4,132 is more than 20% below its Jan 28 record near $5,420–$5,595
Resistance
$91.10
Support
$87.10
Target
$100.00
Gold sits 20%+ below its January record while miner earnings fall, so the 11x multiple that made GDX interesting is already 14x — cheap is getting less cheap.
