On July 28, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares fell 10.66% in pre-market trading, trading at $26.9/share, with turnover of $12.4034 million. The decline extends bearish momentum following renowned investor Michael Burry's disclosure of expanded short positions against Micron Technology and the Philadelphia Semiconductor ETF.
Burry argues that major chip companies such as Nvidia are experiencing demand driven not by genuine end-customer purchases but by off-balance-sheet financing arrangements creating a circular demand loop, raising concerns over semiconductor sector valuations. As a 2x leveraged ETF, the product's structural characteristics further amplify the underlying decline in Micron Technology shares, resulting in a significantly larger percentage drop than the base stock itself. The ETF had already fallen 8.89% during the prior regular session and 8.02% overnight before extending losses into the current pre-market period.
