Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading higher, possibly amid overall market strength after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July. Additionally, the sector may be up in anticipation of NVIDIA's upcoming Q1 report.

U.S. stocks settled lower on Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 recording losses for the fourth straight session. The Dow Jones index also dipped more than 250 points on Friday.

Technically, the trend remains strongly bullish. QQQ trades above its five, 20, and 50-day exponential moving averages, while its eight-day simple moving average (SMA) of $514.13, 20-day SMA of $492.02, and 50-day SMA of $474.66 all flash bullish signals. 
Even the longer-term 200-day SMA sits well below at $493.11, underscoring the ETF&#8217;s sharp upward break. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading of 14.66 and a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 70.17 confirm that QQQ is in overbought territory.

The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) isn't sitting quietly either &#8211; it's gained 24.84% in the last month. Microchip Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>) has exploded +54.07%, while Seagate Technology Holdings PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STX#NASDAQ">STX</a>), Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) have each gained over +39%, as chipmakers and AI stocks dominate the leaderboard.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Caution: Euphoria Zone Ahead</h2>
While bulls are firmly in control, QQQ's RSI suggests we may be entering euphoria territory, where rallies can exhaust themselves. 
With many of the big names already logging massive gains, investors now face the classic question: Is this the breakout before a breather, or the setup for a sharper reversal?

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
