On August 5, Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 2X Shares declined 8.49% in regular trading, trading at $112.37/share, with turnover of $149 million.

The decline was driven by underlying stock Google (GOOGL), which fell approximately 4% after the company disclosed management personnel changes at its DeepMind AI division. As a 2x leveraged ETF tracking GOOGL, Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 2X Shares amplified the underlying move by roughly double.

The selloff comes just days after Google had surged to a total market capitalization of $4.53 trillion, surpassing Apple to become the world's second most valuable company. The stock had previously benefited from broad cloud computing sector tailwinds, with Morgan Stanley projecting global cloud capital expenditures to reach $1.2 trillion by 2027. However, options market data from earlier this week had already flagged bearish sentiment, with a nearly $40 million bear call spread trade signaling institutional expectations that upside would be capped.
