On August 18, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares declined 9.37% in regular trading, trading at $31.53/share, with turnover of $266 million. The leveraged ETF tracks Micron Technology at 2x exposure, with the underlying stock falling over 3% on the same session.

On the news front, Micron Technology had surged 17.5% over the prior five trading days, triggering significant profit-taking pressure. Legendary investor Druckenmiller disclosed in his latest 13F filing that he fully exited his Micron position, while Appaloosa also reduced holdings and Bridgewater previously disclosed a roughly 92% reduction in its stake. In the options market, a $624,000 sell order targeting far-month $1,200 strike calls signaled institutional caution on upside potential, complemented by put buying activity that collectively suggests funds are betting on limited room for further appreciation.
