The tape was dominated by heavy accumulation in the semiconductor space as the street braces for the NVDA prints. We saw consistent 'buying the dip' behavior at the VAP (Volume At Price) nodes from the New York open, with AMD and SMCI riding the coattails of the lead horse. The $135.00 level in NVDA acted as a pivot for the entire tech complex; once that held during the European close, the squeeze was on into the final hour.
