The Intel bid is holding.

SPY back at the highs. QQQ printed new ATHs on the Intel-driven gap.

Thursday's reversal is getting erased in the first two hours. The "one-day blip" scenario is winning, not the "exhaustion top" scenario.

Weekend risk into a tape that's pushing fresh highs is a different conversation than weekend risk into a failing breakout. That changes how positions get managed into the close.

Afternoon will tell you what institutional positioning actually decided.
