Market Focus
Sep 23

On September 23, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares fell 5.62% in regular trading, trading at $144.4/share, with turnover of $2.106 billion. The decline came after the fund surged over 5% on September 22 alone, with cumulative gains reaching 14.77% in recent sessions, building significant short-term profit-taking pressure.

On the news front, Bank of America's September Global Fund Manager Survey revealed that 53% of respondents identified \"long global semiconductors\" as the most crowded trade, marking the fourth consecutive month atop the list, while 33% of those surveyed believed related companies are over-investing. Separately, prominent short-seller Michael Burry disclosed sizable new short positions against memory stocks including Micron and semiconductor ETFs, arguing that expanding DRAM capacity to meet AI-driven HBM demand is creating a supply glut risk for conventional memory, with an industry executive's inventory warning reinforcing his thesis that the memory cycle has peaked.

Against the backdrop of elevated prior gains and high positioning crowdedness, concentrated profit-taking pressure was released, with the fund's triple-leverage mechanism further amplifying the pullback magnitude.

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.
