Alphabet dropped 3.9% to $362, underperforming its mega-cap peers on the session.

Profit-taking after a strong run, plus fresh questions about how Google funds its heavy AI capex, weighed on the shares.

The Nasdaq 100 climbed 0.5% to a record 30,661, led by Nvidia's new PC-processor launch and a 32% surge in Marvell.

The AI-capex narrative remains the single dominant market force, pulling capital out of crypto and into chips.

Watch for any wobble in semis leadership; 30,000 is now the first line of support.
