On September 28, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares fell 5.02% overnight, trading at 143.89 USD/share, with turnover of 331 million USD. The decline came as the ETF shed gains following a cumulative weekly surge of 22.46%, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index having posted single-day gains exceeding 4% earlier in the period.

After a sustained sharp rally, crowded short-term positioning and concentrated profit-taking triggered a technical pullback across the semiconductor sector, with the 3x leverage mechanism amplifying the downside. Notably, prominent investor Michael Burry recently escalated short bets against memory names and semiconductor ETFs, citing rising DRAM capacity and looming supply glut risks. A Bank of America survey showed 53% of global fund managers identified long global semiconductors as the most crowded trade for a fourth consecutive month, with 33% flagging overinvestment concerns. Earlier in September, the ETF exhibited a similar pattern, falling 5.62% and 5.33% on consecutive days before stabilizing, underscoring the heightened volatility inherent in leveraged products following sharp advances.

The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily leveraged exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
