WS #16955
The technology sector is undergoing a violent liquidation event, with the Nasdaq plunging and the Dow dropping over 1,000 points. The SMH semiconductor ETF has fallen more than 8%, its worst performance since 2016, dragging down mega-caps like Nvidia, AMD, and Micron. This selloff is characterized by a "crowded exit" dynamic where institutional investors are simultaneously unwinding positions in AI and chip stocks, leading to a self-reinforcing downward spiral that has pushed many tech names into bear market territory.
