Given Tesla's positive earnings report, this may lead to renewed interest in tech stocks, particularly EV-related companies. Additionally, a general market rally could occur if other tech firms report strong results, benefiting indexes like the Nasdaq and S&P 500.

The recovery in tech stocks, starting with a strong performance by Tesla, may enhance investor confidence across the tech sector, which historically correlates with increased buying activity in related ETFs like QQQ, which tracks the Nasdaq-100.
