Last week, flows into tech ETFs were what Jefferies U.S. equity strategist Steven DeSanctis described as "white hot." The group saw $948.4 million in inflows throughout the week, according to data from Jefferies and FactSet. But investors are exiting the stock market overall, with an outflow of $3 billion, according to Jefferies. And investors were far less enthusiastic about small caps, which posted an outflow of $712 million.This means the pressure is on for tech earnings this week from Apple and Alphabet to deliver. Tech is by far the best-performing sector this year, led by the so-called FANG stocks. Google's parent company, Alphabet, reports after the bell Monday and has rallied more than 30% since Christmas. Apple, scheduled to post fiscal first-quarter earnings Tuesday, is up 39% in the same period. If these stocks disappoint, it will mean investors are wrong about the sector they love most. That could could hurt confidence in the overall market. Kate Rooney | CNBC Markets Reporter @Kr00ney TOP NEWS  S&P 500 reaches new record, but gains limited ahead of big earnings R.I.P.
