On July 20, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (SOXL) rose 6.29% in regular trading, trading at approximately $144.47/share, with turnover of $13.94 billion. The rebound follows the previous session's nearly 15% plunge triggered by Korean regulatory tightening and a broad semiconductor sell-off.

On the news front, the Bank of Korea explicitly dismissed the semiconductor peak theory, stating that AI infrastructure investment continues to drive demand beyond supply, with the current upcycle far exceeding historical intensity. Meanwhile, DRAM contract prices surged quarter-over-quarter, indicating no fundamental deterioration in industry conditions. After panic selling subsided, capital flowed back to drive price recovery.

Additionally, market focus is shifting to the upcoming earnings season. Intel is scheduled to report Q2 results on July 23, with multiple Wall Street firms recently raising target prices. KeyBanc upgraded to $155, Susquehanna to $115, and UBS to $121. Broader semiconductor peers including Micron, SK Hynix, and AMD also rebounded over 3-5% in pre-market, reflecting systematic sector recovery.
