On August 18, Micron Technology declined 3.01% overnight, trading at 982.3 USD/share, with turnover of approximately $400 million.

The decline followed a cumulative 17.5% surge over the prior five trading sessions, triggering short-term profit-taking pressure. In the options market, a notable $624,000 sell order on far-month $1,200 out-of-the-money call options appeared, combined with put buying activity, signaling that institutional capital is betting on limited upside. The strategy reflects a view that MU is unlikely to breach $1,200 before expiration, with traders collecting premium in a bearish-leaning posture.

Adding to selling pressure, legendary investor Druckenmiller's latest 13F filing revealed a complete exit from Micron Technology, while Appaloosa also reduced its position. Bridgewater Fund previously disclosed a 92% reduction in its Micron holdings during Q2. The broader semiconductor sector traded weak, with Marvell Technology down 2.68%, Intel down 2.56%, and NVIDIA down 0.9%.
