Help me understand ETF vs Mutual fund quotes (S&P500)


Hi everyone, I'm rebalancing some of my 401k and was curious why S&P 500 ETF's like VOO are up like 3% today but FXAIX, which is Fidelity's 500 index, is down over 1%? Why is there a 4% net difference here? Is it because mutual funds only sell once a day and at when stocks close for the day the price will change? When my 401k rebalances tonight will it be buying at the -1% or the +3%?

Thanks!
