Core Market Drivers
Strong net capital inflow of ~$21 million over the past five days, culminating in a significant $205.9 million inflow on Jan 28, indicates renewed institutional interest.
The surge in volume (2.60x ratio) and price action suggests a potential reaction to broader tech sector strength or anticipation of solid quarterly results.
