On September 14, Tradr 2X Long SNDK Daily ETF fell 10.28% in pre-market trading to $13.62/share, with turnover of approximately $4.55 million. The ETF is a 2x leveraged long product tracking SanDisk, whose underlying shares declined roughly 4.96% in pre-market trading, with the loss amplified through the leverage mechanism.
On the news front, expectations that the NAND flash memory price upcycle is nearing its peak have continued to pressure the broader storage chip sector. Kioxia's CEO recently stated publicly that NAND prices have risen enough, directly undermining the sustained price-increase narrative and creating a multi-directional tug-of-war against previously bullish institutional research calls. SanDisk shares had surged over 400% year-to-date and touched a high of $2,350 in late June, but the stock has posted three consecutive sessions of losses as the storage sector broadly weakened. Heavy profit-taking from early holders has compounded the selling pressure. Notably, options flow in mid-August had already signaled institutional defensive positioning at elevated levels, with a bearish call spread costing $322,500 placed in deep in-the-money strikes, suggesting smart money had been bracing for a pullback well before the current leg lower.
