Nasdaq-100 drops 3% and these 10 stocks are fanning the flames

U.S. technology shares sold off sharply, pulling the Nasdaq Composite down about 2% and the Nasdaq-100 down about 3% as early gains reversed and selling pressure intensified. The move signals broad risk-off sentiment in mega-cap and growth technology names, with the article framing the decline as part of a wider market downturn rather than a company-specific event. The main market takeaway is that tech-heavy benchmarks are under pressure and are driving broader weakness in growth-oriented equity exposure.
