On September 24, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares declined 5.33% in regular trading, trading at $137.77/share, with turnover of $1.431 billion. The selloff extended a 5.62% drop on September 23, as profit-taking pressure continued to build following a cumulative rally of 14.77% in recent sessions.
On the news front, prominent investor Michael Burry publicly increased short positions against Micron and semiconductor ETFs, warning that memory production capacity is expanding and supply glut risks loom over the market. Meanwhile, a Bank of America September survey revealed that 53% of global fund managers identified long global semiconductors as the most crowded trade for the fourth consecutive month, with 33% of respondents flagging concerns over excessive capital expenditure in the sector.
Against the backdrop of elevated cumulative gains, high positioning concentration, and intensifying bearish pressure from notable short-sellers, profit-taking momentum accelerated. The fund's 3x daily leveraged structure further amplified the magnitude of the sector pullback.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide 3x daily leveraged exposure to the ICE Semiconductor Index, which tracks the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies.
