The Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq 100 indices have hit their lowest levels since early this year, with the Invesco QQQ Trust and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund experiencing significant declines. Despite fears of a 2000-like crash, some analysts argue the current situation is different due to stronger fundamentals and less speculative trading volume.
