$SOXLB is -9.7% at $92.38 — and the US market hasn't even opened yet.
Yesterday's chip-rebound story is being erased in the pre-market. SOXL closed the regular session +5.8% at $103.24 on the SpaceX Q3 + SMCI bounce. Right now it's -10.5% in the pre-market at $92.40. The token trades 24/7, so it's already there: $92.38.
The driver is overnight Asia. Japan and Korea's chip complex sold off hard — SK Hynix -5.5%, Samsung -4%, Kioxia -6.8%, SoftBank -6.9%. KOSPI -3.5%, Nikkei under 63,000 for the first time since mid-September.
The token's own hourly tape is a staircase down: the fade started in the last hour of the US session near $102.50, then $99.70 → $96.30 → $93.80 → $92.30, with hourly volume roughly tripling on the way down. Every leg lower printed on heavier flow.
Both sides, honestly. The -10.5% is a pre-market print — thin, and those often fade by the open. But the bigger picture is ugly: SOXL is -32% in a month, so yesterday's +5.8% was a bounce inside a downtrend, and bounces in downtrends get sold. And this is a 3x daily product — a -3.5% index day becomes a -10.5% position. Leverage cuts both ways.
$92 is the line now — the 24h low is $92.03. The US open decides whether this was the overnight flush or the start of the next leg down.
Does the cash session buy the dip, or does $92 break?
