On July 7, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares declined 5.13% in after-hours trading, trading at $719.0/share, with turnover of approximately $36.70 million. The drop came after the ETF had rallied sharply in the prior session on news that Micron Technology broke ground on a $9.3 billion advanced memory chip factory expansion in Hiroshima, Japan, focused on producing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI processors.

However, the market broadly characterized that bounce as a technical rebound from oversold levels. Bearish pressure quickly reasserted itself, as renowned investor Michael Burry recently established a short position in Micron at $1,051.87 per share, warning that the stock's cyclical peak has surpassed levels seen during the internet bubble era. Additionally, unresolved concerns over AI computing overcapacity — sparked by Meta's plans to sell idle AI compute resources — continue to weigh on sentiment. With Micron having retreated over 20% from its post-earnings high, the downtrend remains intact, and the ETF's 2x leverage further amplifies underlying volatility.
