On June 4, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares (MUU) declined 12.92% in regular trading, trading at $905.57/share, with trading volume of $1.237 billion. The leveraged ETF amplified losses in its underlying stock Micron Technology, which fell nearly 7% as the broader storage and AI chip sectors came under heavy selling pressure.
The selloff was triggered by Broadcom's disappointing AI chip revenue forecast. Broadcom projected third-quarter AI semiconductor revenue of $16 billion, below the analyst consensus of $17.2 billion. CEO Hock Tan guided full-year AI chip sales at $56 billion, also missing the prior consensus of $57.6 billion. The miss sparked a broad retreat across AI-related names, with Broadcom plunging over 13%, while Qualcomm and AMD fell over 4%.
The decline also follows an extreme overbought condition in Micron, whose RSI recently reached 90 — a level not seen since 1995. Micron had surged over 800% in the prior 12 months, breaking above $1,000 per share just days earlier. Analysts had warned that despite strong AI-driven memory demand fundamentals, a near-term correction was likely given the stock's parabolic advance.
