On July 22, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares declined 5.04% in pre-market trading, trading at $33.69/share, with turnover of $32.59 million.
The decline follows underlying asset Micron Technology's 12.17% surge in the prior session, which pushed its market capitalization back above $1 trillion. The sharp rally triggered broad profit-taking pressure, with Micron itself falling approximately 3% in pre-market. As a 2x leveraged ETF, the product's structural characteristics amplified the underlying pullback.
On the fundamental side, Wedbush analysts noted that despite Micron's strong fundamentals, current upside appears limited, maintaining a neutral stance. Industry-wide, conventional DRAM price increases have shown signs of deceleration, with Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron shifting strategic focus toward HBM4 yield improvement. The broader semiconductor sector also traded weaker, with NVIDIA down 1.1%, TSMC down 2.38%, Broadcom down 1.77%, and Intel down 3.13%, reflecting widespread profit-taking sentiment across the chip complex.
