Wild day: Nasdaq up 2.4%, $NVDA down 5.8%.
That combo used to be impossible. Nvidia's weight in the index meant it dragged everything with it — up or down.
Today? The rest of tech said "nah, we're good" and bought the dip anyway.
Two things this tells you:
1. Investors still have serious appetite. They're not panicking, they're hunting for deals.
2. The market thinks Nvidia's problems are Nvidia's problems — not a contagion risk for the whole sector.
Maybe they're right. Maybe they're underestimating spillover.
But one thing's clear: breadth is back. When one mega-cap can drop 6% and the index still rips, that's healthier market behavior than we've seen in a while.
Don't get cocky though. Dip-buying works until it doesn't.
