The Midday 10

UP Aehr Test Systems

AEHR is up 25.53% to 97.11 by midday, reclaiming its 50-day average intraday in the process. The move puts a meaningful level back in play after what had been an extended stay below it.

UP Nebius Group

NBIS adds 15.57% to 211.06 by midday, continuing the AI-infrastructure momentum thread running through the session. No specific catalyst is in the facts, but the name is moving with conviction.

UP Bloom Energy

BE is up 14.9% to 226.42 by midday, among the more notable moves in the energy-adjacent growth space today. The size of the move stands out against a broader tape that is advancing more modestly.

DOWN JFrog

FROG drops 6.54% to 84.52 by midday, sitting in the weaker half of the software complex on a day when that complex is already underperforming. The decline adds to the pressure visible across Cloud and IGV.

DOWN Atlassian

TEAM falls 5.83% to 90.81 by midday, the largest percentage decline among the three software names flagged today. It sits alongside the broader software pullback rather than showing any isolated catalyst in the facts.

DOWN Duolingo

DUOL is off 5.77% to 126.17 by midday, a notable consumer-tech decliner on a day when the broader discretionary sector is modestly positive. The divergence from the index is worth noting.

BOARD ETF board

Technology is the clear sector leader at up 2.69%, but the real story is the semiconductor complex: Semis (SOXX) up 5.41%, Small-cap semis (XSD) up 5.06%, Semis (SMH) up 4.36%, and Fabless semis (SMHX) up 3.78%. Against that, Software (IGV) is down 1.2% and Cloud (CLOU) down 1.63%, a hard split within tech; Staples and Communications are the only other red sectors, while Volatility (VIXY) sheds 3.46% and Gold (GLD) gains 1.7%.

LEVEL S&P 500 (SPY) / 50-day average

S&P 500 (SPY) trades back above its 50-day average at 744.55 by midday, a level that has been contested through multiple recent attempts. Whether it holds into the close is the structural question of the afternoon.

LEVEL Software (IGV) / 50-day average

Software (IGV) slips back below its 50-day average at 92.87 by midday, having closed above it only yesterday. The one-day reversal of that reclaim, on a day when semis are surging, underscores the split character of the tech tape.

THREAD Followup — morning read

The morning pulse flagged a vol complex split and repair as unconfirmed; by midday Volatility (VIXY) is down 3.46% and S&P 500 (SPY) is back above its 50-day average, which moves the repair thesis forward — though the morning's own caution about confirmation still applies until the close.
