3월 18일 개막한 엔비디아(NASDAQ:NVDA) GPU 기술 컨퍼런스(GTC)는 인공지능(AI)과 반도체에 대한 또 다른 열기를 위한 토대를 마련했다. 과거 실적을 바탕으로 볼 때 이번 행사는 일부 ETF에 새로운 모멘텀을 가져다줄 수 있다.

작년 엔비디아 GTC 이후 높은 수익률 기록했던 반도체 ETF 3종목...이번에는 다를까?

엔비디아(NASDAQ:NVDA)는 반도체 회사들과 매그니피센트 7 주식들 중에서 눈에 띄는 성과를 거두었다. 그런데 2024년 하반기까지 선두 자리를 유지할 수 있을까?

단독: 엔비디아의 높은 주가는 &#39;일부 투자자들에게 일시 중지&#39;를 제공, 전문가는 재평가를 경고

Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Wall Street&#8217;s AI poster child and heart of the generative tech revolution, may have just experienced a voltage dip. The company&#8217;s largest growth driver, its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nvidia">data center revenue</a>, is reportedly heading for a $9.8 billion-sized pothole should capital spending grind to a halt and Chinese demand continue to flatline, according to a new note from Piper Sandler.
Analyst Harsh Kumar cautioned that, worst case, around 6.45% of Nvidia&#8217;s data center revenue might be in jeopardy, exposed to capex cuts across data center end markets. If that materializes, he expects the share price to drop to $76.25, assuming a 25x multiple. That&#8217;s a far cry from the company&#8217;s reaffirmed $150 price target.
So, what&#8217;s an ETF investor to do when their artificially intelligent knight starts showing signs of rust? Here&#8217;s a glance at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">funds that might mitigate the pain</a>, or grab the opportunity.

<ol>
<li>Nvidia Sneezes, They Catch A Cold</li>
</ol>
VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) – With more than 20% of its positions in NVDA, SMH is essentially a fan club. Wonderful during an AI bubble; dangerous when storms brew.
iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) – Likewise Nvidia-heavy at about 8–10% exposure, it&#8217;s a diversified play but still has significant downside risk if the GPU king falls.
Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 1.5X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDU#NASDAQ">NVDU</a>) – For those who prefer their risk leveraged and their stomachs iron-clad.
The bottom line is that these are high-octane plays—gorgeous on the way up, but can&#8217;t wait for a seatbelt on the way down.
<ol start="2">
<li>The Gentle Gliders</li>
</ol>
ROBO Global Robotics and Automation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROBO#NYSE">ROBO</a>) – Holds Nvidia, sure, but also a global buffet of robotics, automation, and industrial AI plays.
Global X Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NASDAQ">BOTZ</a>) – Nvidia&#8217;s in there, but BOTZ offers more geographic diversification.
WisdomTree Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTAI#BATS">WTAI</a>) – A thematic newcomer that bets on AI's long-term arc without going all-in on Nvidia.
<ol start="3">
<li>Safety First: Dividend &amp; Low-Volatility Tech Funds</li>
</ol>
First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDIV#NASDAQ">TDIV</a>) – Taps income-tech with light exposure to Nvidia.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPLV#NYSE">SPLV</a>) – Not tech-narrow, but defensive sanctuary should markets turn down.
Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – Still owns Nvidia, but watered down by a who&#8217;s-who of mega-cap tech; more of a tech index security blanket.
<ol start="4">
<li>The Contrarians: Betting on a Burnout</li>
</ol>
Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) – Triple-leveraged short exposure to semis. Not for the faint of heart or long-term holders.
AXS Short Innovation Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SARK#NASDAQ">SARK</a>) – Playing against the ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), which typically reflects sentiment across names such as Nvidia, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), etc.
Caveat emptor: These aren&#8217;t hedges; they&#8217;re tactical nukes. It&#8217;s wise to assess your risk appetite before investing.

The Bigger Picture
Piper Sandler issued a cautionary note, but they remain bullish on Nvidia in the long run, reiterating its Overweight rating. The firm is still the unchallenged leader in AI infrastructure, with increasing sales of its Blackwell AI supercomputers and a strong lead in GPU-based AI acceleration.
However, future Q1 earnings and trade headwinds, particularly new U.S. export controls on AI chips, may test investors&#8217; conviction.
Nvidia will report Q1 in late May, with the Street looking for EPS of $0.89 (a 45% YoY increase) and revenue of $43 billion (a 65% gain), according to Forbes. If these figures hold or even beat to the upside, current pessimism could prove short-lived.
Final Byte
For ETF investors, the Nvidia wobble is not a cause for alarm. It&#8217;s a reminder to examine exposure, diversify carefully and perhaps have a few hedges up one&#8217;s sleeve. As with everything AI, the future is rosy but perhaps best seen through a slightly risk-adjusted pair of glasses.

Alarm Bells For Nvidia As $9.8 Billion Blow Threatens A Crash: ETFs With Most Risk Or Opportunity

Traders are piling into recession hedges as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariff threats resurface</a>, but they may be following the wrong signals. 
According to Jake Behan, Head of Capital Markets at Direxion, the connection between tariffs, inflation, and recession isn't as direct as many assume.
"Traders may be overreacting and exaggerating the link between tariffs, inflation, and recession timing," said Behan in an exclusive interview with Benzinga.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation's Been Brewing &#8211; Tariffs Are Just The Headline</h2>
The tariff narrative has re-entered center stage, but the inflation story predates it. That's why some macro-focused investors may be cautious in attributing too much market movement to new trade threats. 
"While there is no doubt that the three impact each other, the risk of inflation has been looming for much longer," Behan said.
The challenge for active traders is separating noise from signal. The current landscape features erratic tariff implementation, making it hard to precisely time any recession-linked drawdown.
For traders with a bearish tilt on sectors vulnerable to tariff whiplash—such as semiconductors—targeted tools like the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) can offer a way to express conviction on near-term downside without waiting for confirmation from lagging indicators.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sentiment Is Right, Strategy May Be Off</h2>
Despite the confusion, Behan acknowledges traders are directionally aligned with macro risks. 
"Traders have the proper sentiment in recognizing the risk of a recession and the global supply chain risks that come along with tariffs," said Behan.
Small caps, often exposed to global supply chains and tighter margins, may also be vulnerable in a tariff-fueled slowdown. Tactical traders looking to lean into that risk might explore inverse exposure through the Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3X Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TZA#NYSE">TZA</a>).
Still, strategy matters. 
Overreacting to tariffs could leave investors positioned for a downturn that's driven by slower-moving forces like sticky inflation or weakening demand &#8211; rather than sudden policy shifts.

EXCLUSIVE: Traders May Be Getting The Tariff Playbook All Wrong, Here's Why

Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GTC kicks off today, Mar. 18, and lays the groundwork for another installment of AI and semiconductor-fueled fervor. 
If past is prologue, this could translate to new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">momentum for some ETFs</a>.
The following funds have been on a winning streak since the previous GTC, or GPU Technology Conference, took place last March.

<ul>
<li>ProShares UltraShort Semiconductors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSG#NYSE">SSG</a>) — AUM up 28.3% (according to YCharts), price up 13.33%</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDD#NASDAQ">NVDD</a>) — AUM up 119.9%, price up 8.69%</li>

<li>Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) — AUM down 51%, but price up 8.1%</li>
</ul>
The increased AUM indicates that investors have been actively hedging or trading against semiconductor volatility using them. With the buzz on GTC, we may see such trends replicate once all the dust settles after the event.

Why This Time Could Be Different—Or Not
This year&#8217;s GTC is a big deal not only for Nvidia but also other tech giants like Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), and heavy hitters like Vistra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>). Even quantum computing equities like D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) may experience some aftershocks.
One fascinating aspect is the amount of sessions Nvidia is conducting in Chinese, with some heavy-hitters like Baidu (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), Alibaba (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Cloud, and ByteDance, according to TechCrunch. Missing from the lineup, however, is DeepSeek, the Chinese AI company that shook Nvidia&#8217;s stock this spring.
DeepSeek&#8217;s meteoric growth resulted in government attention, with reports even suggesting some employees were put under travel bans. The lack of DeepSeek at GTC could reinforce the geopolitical overhang over the AI sector—another influence that could move ETFs in the weeks ahead.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch Post-GTC</h2>
Last GTC revealed Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell GPUs, and another significant one is likely to come this time. That may portend a new rally in semiconductor ETFs—but also increased volatility.
In addition, with the large Chinese companies showcasing at GTC, investor sentiment regarding U.S.-China AI rivalry may affect ETF performance.
Traders may again mob funds such as NVDD, SSG, and SOXS to bet on both bullish and bearish trends in semiconductors if the last twelve months are anything to go by.
Nvidia&#8217;s GTC has a history of shaping AI and semiconductor markets. Whether it&#8217;s another leg higher or a wave of profit-taking, ETFs that rode last year&#8217;s wave of success could again be the vehicle of choice for traders as they navigate the post-GTC world.

3 Best-Performing Semiconductor ETFs Since Last GTC And Why This Time Is Different

Traders seeking short-term opportunities in a changing economy are turning to leveraged and inverse ETFs as tools to capitalize on market shifts, particularly following the recent election. At the most recent virtual <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/">Benzinga</a> boot camp hosted by Direxion, analysts spotlighted strategies and trends driving interest in these financial instruments while emphasizing their role in tactical trading.
During the session, Gianni Di Poce, an analyst at The Mercator LLC, and Eliott Wellenbach, a senior vice president and institutional ETF strategist at Direxion, discussed the performance of leveraged ETFs in semiconductors, Chinese markets, and single-stock opportunities.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Traders Are Watching Semiconductors</h3>
The semiconductor industry remains a focal point for traders as artificial intelligence and quantum computing developments continue to shape the market. Di Poce pointed to the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index as a case study, noting its upward trend.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

</figure>
"When looking at trends, higher highs and higher lows indicate where the bigger directional moves are likely to occur," Di Poce said. He emphasized the value of Direxion's triple-leveraged SOXL ETF for bullish opportunities while also recognizing potential on the bearish side with SOXS, depending on short-term market movements.
Wellenbach added context from fund flows, explaining that SOXL has been among the top ETFs for inflows this year, reflecting investor confidence in semiconductor performance. "SOXL is our second-largest fund by assets under management," he said, acknowledging recent weekly outflows as traders locked in profits.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China's Rebound Draws Interest</h3>
China's markets have also garnered attention after periods of volatility and downtrends. Di Poce highlighted the FTSE China 50 Index, explaining how stimulus measures and broader monetary shifts have contributed to a potential trend reversal.
"You had lower lows and lower highs for months, but that began to change earlier this year," Di Poce noted, pointing to recent higher lows as a signal of recovery. Direxion's YINN, a bullish China ETF, has seen notable inflows, aligning with the market's upward trajectory.
Wellenbach echoed this sentiment, adding that YINN became one of Direxion's top-performing funds following the Federal Reserve's rate adjustments. "The September easing helped shift global monetary flows, and traders recognized that opportunity," he said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Single-Stock ETFs: A Growing Tool</h3>
Another focus of the session was single-stock ETFs. Di Poce discussed opportunities in high-profile names like Apple, Alphabet, and Tesla, noting their recent technical patterns.
"Apple broke through resistance and hit new highs, while Tesla confirmed its bull trend after months of declines," Di Poce said. Leveraged funds like AAPU for Apple and TSLU for Tesla offer traders tools to take short-term positions on individual stocks.
Wellenbach highlighted the increasing popularity of these ETFs, saying, "We've seen assets in single-stock funds grow from $1 billion to $6 billion this year as traders look for ways to express short-term convictions or hedge concentrated positions."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Education And Strategy Remain Crucial</h3>
Both analysts emphasized the importance of understanding how leveraged ETFs function throughout the event. Wellenbach stressed their role as short-term tools and warned traders against a buy-and-hold approach due to the funds' daily rebalancing.
"These are powerful instruments, but you need to know what you own and how they work," Wellenbach said. Di Poce echoed this caution, reminding traders to manage risk. "Leverage can amplify gains, but it can also amplify losses. You can't afford to stay wrong for long."

EXCLUSIVE: Leveraged ETFs Offer Short-Term Edge As Traders Eye Semiconductors, China, And Quantum Tech In Post-Election Market

An<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41339229/asml-earnings-leak-sparks-broad-semiconductor-sell-off-sector-down-sharply-as-dutch-chipmaker-lo"> unintentional disclosure</a> by semiconductor equipment specialist ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) penalized the broader technology sector, with the benchmark Nasdaq index losing 1% on Tuesday. Unfortunately, ASML accidentally released its third-quarter earnings report a day early, causing a ripple effect in the computer chip ecosystem.
As Benzinga Staff Writer Piero Cingari pointed out, the report "revealed a significant revision to its 2025 net sales guidance, now projected between 30 billion euros and 35 billion euros ($32.7 billion to $38.2 billion) — a reduction from the previously stated range of 30 billion euros to 40 billion euros."
Most worryingly, while demand related to artificial intelligence appears to continue to be largely in a bright spot, it wasn't enough to rejuvenate other market segments. "It now appears the recovery is more gradual than previously expected. This is expected to continue in 2025, which is leading to customer cautiousness," said ASML president and CEO Christophe Fouquet.
Adding insult to injury, the head executive disclosed that the company's 2025 total net sales may expand to a range between 30 billion to 35 billion euros, which represents the lower half of the guidance that the company provided at its Investor Day conference.
Not surprisingly, the options market lit up for ASML stock, with the market's heavy hitters<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/24/10/41339957/market-whales-and-their-recent-bets-on-asml-options"> positioning themselves bearishly</a>. Specifically, professional or institutional investors piled into put options with expiration dates ranging from this Friday to March 21 of next year.
The Direxion ETFs: Nevertheless, the heightened activity in the tech space could offer opportunities in Direxion's leveraged exchange-traded funds. Some of the financial service provider's highest-risk, highest-reward offerings took center stage recently. First, the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) is an ETF that is reserved only for the most optimistic traders.
Second, the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) is an extreme ETF that caters to those holding decisively pessimistic sentiments. Both the SOXL and SOXS seek the daily investment results of 300% (or 300% of the inverse) of the NYSE Semiconductor Index. Given the 3X leverage, these funds are only designed to be held for periods no greater than one day.
Fundamentally, the daily compounding of leverage – especially for the inverse SOXS – is severe in these ETFs. Therefore, it's imperative that market participants maintain positional discipline and exit before the trading session expires.
The SOXL ETF: Although the SOXL fund is in positive territory for this year, the extreme leverage has only resulted in a relatively modest performance.
<ul>
<li>After soaring through early July, the 3X-leveraged ETF tumbled badly into early August before entering a choppy consolidation phase.</li>
<li>SOXL is on the ropes at the moment as the shocking ASML disclosure plunged its unit price below its 50-day moving average.</li>
</ul>

The SOXS ETF: Due to the overall strong performance of the tech space, SOXS has been bleeding red ink, losing over 63% since the start of this year.
<ul>
<li>The overall posture of SOXS is discouraging right now since it can't seem to break the trend of lower lows.</li>
<li>However, Tuesday's accidental disclosure yielded an almost 18% lift in the 3X bear fund, providing much-needed optimism.</li>

Tech Sector Chaos Puts Spotlight On Direxion's 3X-Leveraged SOXL And SOXS Funds

Direxion Managing Director Ed Egilinsky spoke to Benzinga about the sectors likely to benefit from the Federal Reserve&#8217;s potential rate cuts as well as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">2024 presidential election</a>.
&#8220;In the current rotation trade environment, there are several sectors that could be impacted such as the Financials, Energy, Tech, and Healthcare/Biotech,&#8221; Egilinsky said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductors &#8211; Driving The Tech Sector</h3>
Egilinsky emphasized the significant role of semiconductors in the tech sector's recent success. 
&#8220;The tech sector has continued to be a leader in 2024, with semiconductors once again outpacing the broader tech space,&#8221; he said. This trend is partly due to the excitement surrounding AI.
For traders looking to leverage this momentum, Egilinsky said, &#8220;We have seen inflows YTD with both our Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) and Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>), as traders contemplate the next directional move.&#8221; 
These ETFs are designed to capture short-term fluctuations in the semiconductor sector, offering investors tools to capitalize on its ongoing growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sector Sensitivity Amid Political, Economic Shifts</h3>
With Election Day on Nov. 5, Egilinsky highlighted how policy changes could affect various sectors in 2025.
&#8220;The election outcome could have a major impact on policy and should create directional volatility in areas sensitive to policy shifts such as healthcare/biotech, financials, and energy,&#8221; he explained.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Diversifying Beyond The Magnificent Seven</h3>
Egilinsky also discussed the challenge of diversifying beyond the top-performing Magnificent Seven stocks: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
&#8220;We see many investors looking to diversify beyond the Magnificent Seven stocks,&#8221; he said. For those seeking broader exposure, the Direxion NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQE#NASDAQ">QQQE</a>) offers an equal weight approach to the NASDAQ 100 Index, potentially providing additional sources of returns.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Real Estate, Utilities: Benefiting From Rate Cut Expectations</h3>
Egilinsky also noted the performance of real estate and utilities in light of anticipated rate cuts. 
&#8220;The Real Estate and Utilities markets recently hit two-year highs as the realization that the Fed will start cutting interest rates has helped both sectors be amongst the best-performing sectors thus far this quarter,&#8221; he said.
For investors looking to ride this momentum, ETFs like the Direxion Daily Utilities Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTSL#NYSE">UTSL</a>) and Direxion Daily Real Estate Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRN#NYSE">DRN</a>) are worth considering.

EXCLUSIVE: Beyond The Magnificent Seven — Direxion's Egilinsky Reveals Top Sector Picks

ETFs that allow investing in Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) are showing mixed reactions on Wednesday pre-market ahead of the Jensen Huang-led company&#8217;s earnings call.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40534794/nvidia-is-next-weeks-top-stock-market-strategist-says-why-best-long-term-idea-is-just-buy-nvidia-and">Benzinga Pro</a>, at the time of writing, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) was trading higher by 1.14%, while Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) was down by 0.85%.

Why It Matters: Investors are keenly observing Nvidia ahead of its earnings report, which is anticipated to significantly impact the market. A Morgan Stanley analyst expressed confidence in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40570314/top-nvidia-analyst-sees-no-major-impact-from-blackwell-delay-but-flags-one-caveat-h">Nvidia&#8217;s ability to meet high expectations</a>, despite potential delays in Blackwell shipments.

This projection is based on options pricing data, which suggests a potential 9% move in Nvidia stock in either direction.

NVDL, SOXL And Other Chip-Stock Tracking ETFs Trade Mixed Ahead Of Nvidia Earnings: Here's Why

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has been a standout performer among semiconductor companies and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">the Magnificent Seven stocks</a>. 
However, can it maintain its leadership position through the second <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news">half of 2024</a>?
Ed Egilinsky, Managing Director at Direxion, shares his insights, shedding light on the key drivers and potential headwinds for this tech titan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia&#8217;s Sky-High Valuations Give Investors A Pause</h2>
&#8220;Nvidia has been a stalwart in the tech space over the last few years,&#8221; Egilinsky acknowledges. &#8220;However, its current valuation might make some investors pause. There is no denying Nvidia is a leader in the chip space and more specifically regarding AI-related chips. They should be a notable player in the space for years to come.&#8221;
But even champions need a breather. Post-stock split, Nvidia has underperformed both:
<ul>
<li>The broader semiconductor index, as tracked by the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>), and</li>
<li>the Nasdaq 100 index, as tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)</li>
</ul>
Hence, Egilinsky believes the sky-high valuation might face reevaluation if competition intensifies or demand slows down.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opportunities For Nvidia Bulls and Bears Alike</h2>
While Nvidia&#8217;s stock has trended mostly higher year-to-date, Egilinsky sees room for both bulls and bears. &#8220;For those active traders seeking to trade short-term price movements with Nvidia stock regardless of direction, Direxion offers tools to capitalize on these opportunities,&#8221; he notes.
Despite Nvidia's impressive performance, the stock market landscape remains dynamic. &#8220;Our leveraged ETFs are designed for active/short-term trading and should be monitored daily,&#8221; Egilinsky advises.
For traders looking at the bigger picture, the broader semiconductor space offers its own set of opportunities. 
Egilinsky highlights that Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) and Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) ETFs cater to those wanting to take a stance on the entire sector. 
&#8220;Our largest ETF currently is the SOXL ETF with more than $10 billion in assets. However, with the rally in semiconductors year-to-date, we have seen net inflows into 3X Bear semiconductor (SOXS) and outflows into our 3X Bull (SOXL),&#8221; said Egilinsky.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Nvidia?</h2>
As Nvidia navigates H2 2024, the balance between its rich valuation and potential competition will be crucial. &#8220;There might be increasing competition and/or a demand slowdown leading to Nvidia's current rich valuation being reevaluated,&#8221; Egilinsky predicts.
For now, Nvidia remains a key player in the tech sector, but active traders will need to stay vigilant.

EXCLUSIVE: Nvidia's Sky-High Valuation 'Gives Some Investors Pause,' Expert Warns Of Reevaluation

On Thursday, Taiwanese contract chipmaker&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) projected a 10% annual revenue growth in the global semiconductor industry, excluding memory chips.

What's Going On With Nvidia Supplier Taiwan Semi Stock On Thursday?

Semiconductor stocks were up on Thursday after largely having slipped this last month. Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) was up over 2.0% at the time of writing. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) was up over 0.5%. Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) was up 0.2%. The lone drop came from Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), which shed 0.15%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Decision</h2>
The moves came in large part due to relief at the news that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) did not intend to raise rates and is still open to lowering them before the year is out. This was mostly expected, but some feared that disappointing inflation numbers would lead the FOMC to raise rates or indicate there was little hope of any reduction in the near future.
The semiconductor industry, a high-growth sector, responded well to the news. Typically, investors are scared away from high-growth equities in high-interest rate environments.
The Fed reiterated that its target for considering reducing interest rates would be 2% inflation. All eyes will be on numbers coming May 15.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Solid Earnings</h2>
In addition to the FOMC decision, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) reported earnings on Wednesday. The company largely beat Wall Street's expectations; it reported EPS of $2.44 vs the expected $2.32 and revenue of $9.39 billion vs the expected $9.34 billion. The strong numbers gave the company's stock a nearly 10% bump today and indicated a strong market for the entire sector, leading to bleed over in other semiconductor stocks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investing In The Space</h2>
Investors looking to get into the space can do their due diligence and pick individual equities. However, many investors would do well to consider a semiconductor-focused ETF instead like the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>). The fund invests in a diversified set of companies involved in the space, such as NVIDIA and AMD.
And for investors who want to take their view even further, <a href="https://www.direxion.com/">Direxion</a> offers the <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-semiconductor-bull-bear-3x-etfs">Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) which seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Index.
For the bears, who think Semis are overvalued and a correction is imminent, Direxion also offers the <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-semiconductor-bull-bear-3x-etfs">Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) which seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the inverse of the performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Index.

Semiconductor Stocks Pop After Fed Meeting And Strong Numbers From This Chip-Maker

Concerns over rising interest rates and a barrage of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">corporate earnings reports</a> continue to affect U.S. stocks.
What Happened: On Wednesday, April 17, all three major indexes opened in positive territory. But the market sentiment quickly soured. 
<ul>
<li>The S&amp;P 500 closed down approximately 0.6%</li>
<li>Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a more modest loss of 0.1%. </li>
<li>The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite plunged over 1% by the day&#8217;s end.</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tech: S&amp;P 500&#8217;s Worst Performing Segment</h3>
Tech giants played a pivotal role in driving the day&#8217;s market action. 
<ul>
<li>Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) took a notable hit, tumbling nearly 4%</li>
<li>Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also saw a decline of over 1%. </li>
<li>The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) emerged as the worst-performing segment within the S&amp;P 500, shedding nearly 1.5%.</li>
<li>ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), the Dutch semiconductor equipment giant&#8217;s shares plummeted more than 7% following a disappointing quarterly update. </li>
</ul>
Despite resilient sales to China amidst U.S. restrictions, ASML missed order estimates, sending shockwaves through the chip sector.
Investors now brace for further fallout ahead of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) earnings report on Thursday, April 18. The company&#8217;s report will likely carry significant implications for the entire industry.

Nvidia ETFs Take Center Stage As Bears, Bulls Duke It Out With 8%-14% Swings

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (ARCA: SOXL) surged to new 25-month highs between March 1 and March 8, which Benzinga pointed out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/02/37402897/soxl-soars-toward-new-highs-nvidia-and-amd-fuel-semiconductor-sector-rally">was likely to happen on Feb. 29</a>.
After reaching the new highs, the ETF, which is <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-semiconductor-bull-bear-3x-etfs">a triple-leveraged fund</a> that consists of a variety of stocks in the semiconductor sector, started to consolidate, falling about 18% from the March 8 high of $56.99.
The recent consolidation has helped drop SOXL&rsquo;s relative strength index (RSI) down from about the 75% level to a more comfortable 56%. With the lowered RSI, SOXL has room to surge higher after the consolidation is over but whether or not that happens is dependent on whether the fund&rsquo;s largest holdings, such as Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amd#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) continue to trend higher within their bull cycles.
AMD is weighted at 8.67% within the SOXL fund, while Broadcom, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) is weighted at 8.59%. Nvidia is the third largest holding within the ETF, weighted at 7.54%.

On Wednesday, BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated Buy rating on Nvidia stock and raised a price target from $925 to $1,100. The new price target implies an upside of 21% and indicates Arya sees room for Nvidia to surge higher.
There are always two sides to every trade, however, and traders who are bearish on the semiconductor sector or who are looking to trade a further pullback can track the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (ARCA: SOXS).
It should be noted that Direxion&rsquo;s leveraged funds are designed for short-term traders and shouldn&rsquo;t be held for a long period of time.

The SOXL Chart: When SOXL fell lower on Monday and Wednesday, the ETF bounced up from near the $45 mark, which SOXL also did on March 5. The bounce up from that area on three separate occasions indicates that there&rsquo;s strong support at that level, which has also caused the ETF to print a triple bottom pattern there.
<ul>
<li>On Wednesday, SOXL was working to form a hammer candlestick on the daily chart, which indicates the local bottom may have occurred. If SOXL trades higher on Thursday, Wednesday&rsquo;s candlestick will be confirmed and the ETF may rise over Tuesday&rsquo;s high-of-day, negating its recent downtrend.</li>
<li>If SOXL breaks up above Tuesday&rsquo;s high-of-day, the ETF will also break bullishly from a rising channel pattern, which SOXL has been trading in since Dec. 14.</li>
<li>Bearish traders want to see SOXL fall under the $45 mark, which will negate the triple bottom pattern and could accelerate downside pressure.</li>
<li>SOXL has resistance above at $50 and at $55.94 and support below at $44.97 and at $41.60.<img alt="screenshot_341_0.png" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u278075/screenshot_341_0.png" style="height:361px; width:760px" /></li>

Upside For Nvidia Stock Could Set This Semiconductor ETF Soaring To New Highs: A Technical Analysis Of SOXL

Rhetoric from the CCP has reached a new pitch as President Xi Jinping calls on "all patriots from home and abroad, in and out of Taiwan" to increase opposition to independence for the disputed nation.
This comes only a few days after "peaceful" was dropped from the phrase "peaceful reunification" in an official Chinese budget report that outlines a more than 7% boost to military spending. "Peaceful" has always been used when speaking about reunification and many found its absence conspicuous.
Led by Asia's 2nd largest company, Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), Taiwan is the world leader in the manufacturing of the chips critical to, amongst many other applications, AI.
The increasing geopolitical tension has made some investors wary, TSM dipped close to 1.5% after Xi's remarks. Most investors, however, remain bullish.&nbsp;
TSMC has been on a tear recently, up 44.9% this year. 5% of that came this week after extremely positive numbers were released. The chip manufacturer boosted revenue by close to 10% in the first two months of the year.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Semi SOXX</h3>
TSMC is just one of many stocks in the semiconductor industry that have been on an upward spike this year. The semiconductor industry provides the powerful components that allow AI to function. Semis are the "picks" being sold to the gold minors, to borrow from a classic analogy.&nbsp;
NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is the darling of the moment, rocketing up over 500% since January of 2023. But many other semiconductor companies are hot as well, like Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
Investors looking to get into the space would do well to consider a semiconductor-focused ETF like iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>). The fund invests in a diversified set of companies involved in the space like NVIDIA and AMD.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Max View</h3>
And for investors who want to take their view even further, Direxion offers the <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-semiconductor-bull-bear-3x-etfs">Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) which seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Index.
For the bears, who think Semis are overvalued and a correction is imminent, Direxion offers the <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-semiconductor-bull-bear-3x-etfs">Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) which seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the inverse of the performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Index.

Taiwan Semiconductor Dips After Xi Jinping Calls For Mobilization Of 'Patriots' In Taiwan, But Sentiment Remains Strong

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (ARCA: SOXL) was surging over 7% on Thursday, looking to print a higher high to confirm its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/stock-chart-patterns">uptrend remains intact</a>.

The SOXL Chart: SOXL has been trading in a fairly consistent uptrend since Oct. 31, when the stock formed a bullish double-bottom pattern at the $14.09 mark. Since Dec. 14, SOXL&rsquo;s uptrend has been taking place within a rising channel pattern, which is considered to be bullish until a stock or ETF breaks down from the lower ascending trend line of the formation.
<ul>
<li>Although SOXL&rsquo;s price has been making higher highs and higher lows, the ETF&rsquo;s relative strength index (RSI) has been making a series of lower lows. This has caused bearish divergence to occur on SOXL&rsquo;s chart, which indicates the ETF is losing momentum.</li>
<li>Bullish traders want to see SOXL close Thursday&rsquo;s trading session above the Feb. 23 high of $42.68, which will cause the higher high to be confirmed, indicating the uptrend remains intact. Bearish traders want to see SOXL close under that level, which could cause a bullish double-top pattern to form, indicating a retracement is on the horizon.</li>
<li>SOXL has resistance above at $44.97 and at the psychologically important $50 mark. The ETF has support below at $41.60 and at $39.53.<img alt="screenshot_242.png" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u278075/screenshot_242.png" style="height:361px; width:760px" /></li>

SOXL Soars Toward New Highs: NVIDIA And AMD Fuel Semiconductor Sector Rally

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (ARCA: SOXL) was diving over 7% lower Tuesday, in tandem with the general market, which saw the S&amp;P 500 gap down to trade about 0.5% under Friday&rsquo;s closing price after inflation data released last week&nbsp;<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/why-these-2-wall-street-economists-not-too-concerned-by-january-s-hot-inflation-maintain-prediction-for-may-rate-cut/ar-BB1ixz8E">for January remained high</a>.

While the tech sector has been surging over recent months, the S&amp;P 500 printed a bearish engulfing candlestick on Friday, signaling the local top may be in for the stock market. Many stocks have become overbought recently, trading with a relative strength index that measures near or above the 70% mark, which suggested a pullback was likely near.
Nvidia is set to print quarterly earnings on Wednesday and Wall Street&rsquo;s reaction to the news may set the tone for big tech stocks over the next few trading days. For the fourth quarter, Nvidia is expected to print earnings per share of $4.53 on revenues of $20.24 billion.

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) was surging almost 13% at one point on Wednesday following a bearish reaction to Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/08/33506515/amd-q2-beats-estimates-as-server-pc-chip-demand-improves-chipmaker-signals-strong-engagement-ahead-">quarterly earnings print</a>.&nbsp;

SOXS's move higher came after the ETF printed a bullish double bottom pattern on Monday and Tuesday, which suggested a bullish break higher was on the horizon for the bearish fund.&nbsp;
The semiconductor sector had been experiencing a bull cycle, with&nbsp;NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) flying in blue skies amid reports the company will become&nbsp;an anchor investor&nbsp;in Softbank Group Corp-backed British chip designer Arm IPO.

The SOXS Chart: When SOXS surged higher on Wednesday, the ETF rejected from the upper descending trend line of a falling wedge pattern. Although SOXS may continue to consolidate under the area for a period of time, the pattern leans bullish for an eventual break higher.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>For now, SOXS is trading in a downtrend, making a series of lower highs and lower lows. The fund's most recent lower low&nbsp;was formed on Monday at $8.17 and the most recent confirmed lower high was printed at the $9.73 mark on July 26.&nbsp;</li>
<li>If SOXS eventually breaks up from the wedge pattern and forms a higher high, the downtrend will be negated and a longer-term uptrend could be on the horizon.

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/soxl#NASDAQ">SOXL</a>) spiked 0.7% on Friday morning before falling to trade mostly flat to Thursday&rsquo;s close. The ETF recently made another bull break since breaking up from an inside bar pattern, which Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/06/33047302/nvidia-amd-pull-back-as-biden-administration-weighs-ban-on-ai-chip-exports-to-china-this-fund-tracks">called out on June 28</a>.
The semiconductor sector has been experiencing a bull cycle, with NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) flying in blue skies amid reports the company will become <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33230699/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-stock-friday">an anchor investor</a> in Softbank Group Corp-backed British chip designer Arm IPO. The news has helped to pull Advanced Micro Devices higher.
SOXL is a triple-leveraged fund that consists of a variety of stocks in the semiconductor sector. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amd#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) makes up 7.03% of the fund, while Nvidia is weighted at 8.81%.

Tech stocks, including chipmaker stocks, have also enjoyed bullish price action recently, matching the positive movements seen in the general markets.
On Friday, the S&amp;P 500 looked to be printing a bearish reversal candlestick, however, signaling the local top may be in. An eventual retracement on the index and individual stocks could provide a solid entry for bullish traders and if the move takes place, SOXL offers 3X leverage.
Traders who are bearish on the semiconductor sector can track the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/soxs#NYSE">SOXS</a>).

The SOXL Chart: Like the S&amp;P 500, SOXL was looking to print a reversal candlestick Friday, in the form of a gravestone doji, which may signal the next higher high has a card and a retracement is on the horizon. SOXL&rsquo;s most recent higher low was formed on July 6 at $22.04, and if the uptrend continues, the ETF will print a bullish reversal candlestick above that area on the next dip.
<ul>
<li>The ETF could also reverse course off the eight-day exponential moving average (EMA) on its next retracement because the indicator has been guiding SOXL higher since July 10. SOXL has become extended from the eight-day EMA, which also indicates a pull back is on the horizon.</li>
<li>The downturn from Friday&rsquo;s high-of-day was taking place on lower-than-average volume, which suggests some bulls are taking profit as opposed to the bears regaining control. Bearish traders want to see big bearish volume come in before feeling confident that SOXL&rsquo;s bull cycle is complete.</li>
<li>SOXL has resistance above at $27.30 and $30.57 and support below at $22.12 and $17.66.</li>
</ul>

Leveraging Trades On Semiconductors With SOXL And SOXS

3월 18일 개막한 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPU 기술 컨퍼런스(GTC)는 인공지능(AI)과 반도체에 대한 또 다른 열기를 위한 토대를 마련했다. 과거 실적을 바탕으로 볼 때 이번 행사는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">일부 ETF</a>에 새로운 모멘텀을 가져다줄 수 있다.
지난 3월에 열렸던 GTC 이후 다음 펀드들은 상승세를 보였다.
<ul>
<li>ProShares UltraShort Semiconductors(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSG#NYSE">SSG</a>) — 운용자산(AUM) 28.3% 증가 (YCharts 기준), 가격 13.33% 상승</li>
<li>Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X Shares(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDD#NASDAQ">NVDD</a>) — AUM 119.9% 증가, 가격 8.69% 상승</li>
<li>Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) — AUM 51% 감소, 가격은 8.1% 상승</li>
</ul>
운용자산이 증가했다는 것은 투자자들이 이를 통해 반도체 변동성에 대한 헤지 또는 트레이딩을 활발히 하고 있다는 것을 의미한다. GTC에 대한 관심이 높아진 만큼, 이벤트가 끝난 후에도 이러한 추세가 재현될 수 있다.
<h3>이번에는 다를까?</h3>
올해 GTC는 엔비디아뿐만 아니라 브로드컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), TSMC(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), 비스트라(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) 같은 다른 기술 대기업들에게도 큰 의미가 있다. 심지어 D-웨이브 퀀텀(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) 같은 양자 컴퓨팅 관련 주식들도 후폭풍을 경험할 수 있다.
흥미로운 점은 엔비디아가 중국어로 진행하는 세션의 수가 많다는 점이다. 테크크런츠(TechCrunch)에 따르면 바이두(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), 알리바바(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) 클라우드, 바이트댄스 같은 주요 중국 기업들이 포함되어 있다. 그러나 지난번 엔비디아 주가를 흔들었던 딥시크는 이번 라인업에 포함되지 않았다.
딥시크의 급성장은 중국 정부의 주목을 받게 되었고, 일부 직원들이 여행 금지 조치를 받았다는 보도도 있었다. GTC에서 딥시크가 빠진 것은 AI 부문에 대한 지정학적 불확실성을 강화할 수 있으며, 이는 향후 몇 주 동안 ETF에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 또 다른 요소이다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GTC 이후 주목할 점</h3>
지난 GTC에서 엔비디아의 블랙웰 GPU가 공개되었고, 이번에는 또 다른 중요한 발표가 있을 것으로 보인다. 이는 반도체 ETF의 새로운 랠리를 예고할 수도 있지만 변동성 확대를 의미하기도 한다.
또한 중국 대기업들이 GTC에 참가하면서 미중 AI 경쟁에 대한 투자자 심리가 ETF 성과에 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
트레이더들은 지난 12개월 동안의 추세를 볼 때 반도체 강세와 약세 추세에 베팅하기 위해 NVDD, SSG, SOXS와 같은 펀드를 다시 동원할 수 있다.
엔비디아의 GTC는 AI와 반도체 시장을 형성해온 역사를 지닌다. 추가 상승이든 차익 실현이든, 작년 성공의 물결을 탔던 ETF는 GTC 이후 세계를 탐색할 때 트레이더가 다시 선택할 수 있는 수단이 될 수 있을 것이다.

엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)는 반도체 회사들과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">매그니피센트 7 주식들</a> 중에서 눈에 띄는 성과를 거두었다.
그런데 2024년 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">하반기</a>까지 선두 자리를 유지할 수 있을까?
디렉시온(Direxion)의 매니징 디렉터인 에드 이질린스키(Ed Egilinsky)는 자신의 통찰력을 공유하고 이 거대 기술 회사의 주요 동인과 잠재적인 역풍에 대해 조명한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">엔비디아의 높은 주는 투자자들에게 일시 중지를 제공</h2>
이질린스키는 "엔비디아는 지난 몇 년 동안 기술 분야에서 충실한 역할을 해왔다"고 인정한다. "그러나 현재의 가치 평가로 인해 일부 투자자들은 잠시 멈추게 될 수도 있다. 엔비디아가 칩 분야, 특히 AI 관련 칩 분야의 선두주자라는 점은 부인할 수 없다. 그들은 앞으로 몇 년 동안 이 분야에서 주목할만한 선수가 될 것이다."
하지만 챔피언도 가끔은 숨 한번 돌리고 싶어한다. 주식 분할 이후, 엔비디는 다음 두 가지 면에서 모두 성적을 내지 못했다:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) 및 iShares Semiconductor ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)가 추적하는 광범위한 반도체 지수와</li>
<li>Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)에서 추적하는 나스닥 100 지수</li>
</ul>
따라서 이질린스키는 경쟁이 심화되거나 수요가 둔화되면 이 높은 가치 평가가 재평가될 수 있다고 믿고 있다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">엔비디아의 강세론자와 약세론자 모두에 기회</h2>
엔비디아의 주가는 연초 대비 대부분 상승세를 보였지만 이질린스키는 강세론자들(bulls)과 약세론자들(bears) 모두에게 여지가 있다고 본다. "방향에 관계없이 엔비디아 주식과 단기 가격 변동을 거래하려는 활동적인 거래자들을 위해 디렉시온은 이러한 기회를 활용할 수 있는 도구를 제공한다"고 그가 말한다.
엔비디아의 인상적인 성과에도 불구하고 주식 시장 환경은 여전히 ​​역동적이다. 이질린스키는 &#8220;우리의 레버리지 ETF는 활성/단기 거래용으로 설계되었으며 매일 모니터링해야 한다&#8221;고 조언한다.
더 큰 그림을 보는 트레이더들에게는 더 넓은 반도체 공간이 그 자체로 기회를 제공한다.
이질린스키는 Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) 및 Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) ETF들이 전체 부문에 대한 입장을 취하고 싶어하는 사람들에게 적합하다는 점을 강조한다.
"현재 우리의 가장 큰 ETF는 자산이 100억 달러가 넘는 SOXL ETF이다. 그러나 연초부터 반도체 부문의 랠리로 인해 우리는 3X Bear 반도체(SOXS)로 순 유입되고 3X Bull(SOXL)로 유출되는 것을 확인했다"고 이질린스키가 말했다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">엔비디아의 다음 주</h2>
엔비디아가 2024년 하반기를 헤쳐나가면서 풍부한 가치 평가와 잠재적인 경쟁 사이의 균형이 중요할 것이다. 이질린스키는 "경쟁이 심화되거나 수요 둔화로 인해 엔비디아의 현재 풍부한 가치 평가가 재평가될 수 있다"고 예측한다.
현재 엔비디아는 기술 부문의 주요 플레이어로 남아 있지만 활동적인 거래자들은 경계심을 유지해야 한다.
