The popular tech-focused Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) has had an excellent start to 2023, with a year-to-date gain that has approached 10%. However, at the same time, the investment community has pulled more capital out of QQQ than any other ETF on the market.
As January approaches its close, the fund is +8.5% year-to-date supported by a +1.1% start on Thursday. Still, QQQ, with its $148.30B assets under management, has watched $6.04B exit the door. This is more than any of the other 3,000+ ETFs on the market.
The tech-focused fund is packed with many high-profile names that are set to deliver earnings in the coming weeks. This includes Apple ( AAPL), Alphabet ( GOOG) ( GOOGL), Amazon ( AMZN), NVIDIA ( NVDA) and Meta Platforms ( META), among others.
From a technical analysis vantage point, QQQ is touching both the high end of a descending daily trend line and its 200-day moving average. Upcoming tech earnings could provide the crucial catalyst to determine the near-term direction for the ETF.
