On September 28, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares declined 8.17% in regular trading, trading at approximately $34.61/share, with turnover of $3.53 billion. As a 2x leveraged bull ETF tracking Micron Technology, the amplified decline reflected its underlying stock falling over 3% on the session.
On the news front, multiple bearish catalysts converged simultaneously. Micron Technology is scheduled to release its fiscal Q4 earnings after market close on September 30, pushing the stock into a high-volatility pre-earnings window where capital divergence has intensified. Additionally, the U.S. International Trade Commission has launched a Section 337 investigation into Micron over patent infringement allegations filed by Netlist, with potential import bans on related products if infringement is confirmed. Compounding the pressure, prominent investor Michael Burry — known as \"The Big Short\" — has recently increased his short position against Micron.
Options market activity over recent weeks has further reinforced bearish sentiment, with institutional-scale put purchases and bear call spread structures consistently signaling expectations of capped upside and elevated downside risk for Micron shares.
