On September 25, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares rose 5.06% in pre-market trading, trading at $153.74/share, with turnover of approximately $92.94 million.
The ETF experienced two consecutive sessions of steep declines — falling 5.62% on September 23 and 5.33% on September 24 — as heavy profit-taking followed a cumulative rally of 14.77%. The selloff was intensified by noted investor Michael Burry publicly adding to short positions against Micron and semiconductor ETFs, citing rising memory capacity and looming oversupply risks. Additionally, a Bank of America survey showed 53% of global fund managers viewed long semiconductor positions as the most crowded trade for a fourth straight month.
After absorbing the concentrated profit-taking and positioning unwind, oversold conditions triggered a technical rebound, with the 3x leverage mechanism amplifying the recovery. Market participants note that the semiconductor sector's AI-driven fundamental outlook remains intact, with data center chip demand projections and pricing momentum in power devices continuing to underpin long-term growth expectations.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily leveraged exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
