On June 25, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares ETF (SOXS) fell 16.54% in regular trading, trading at $3.385/share, with turnover of $272 million.
The sharp decline reflects a broad semiconductor sector rebound following consecutive sessions of heavy selling. On the news front, major semiconductor stocks surged during the session, with Micron Technology up over 17%, Intel up over 6%, and AMD up over 4%, driving sector-wide recovery. The prior session on June 23 saw chipmakers collectively plunge — Marvell Technology fell over 9%, Qualcomm and ON Semiconductor dropped over 8% — which had propelled SOXS up approximately 23.83%. The current reversal represents a mean-reversion move as oversold conditions in the semiconductor space attracted buying interest.
As a triple-leveraged inverse ETF tracking the 30 largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies, any rebound in the underlying index is magnified threefold in the negative direction for SOXS, explaining the outsized intraday loss.
