Bitcoin rebounds from a two-year low, while the momentum of storage and semiconductor stocks cools down

In 2026, Sandisk rose over 530% cumulatively, and Micron rose over 230% cumulatively, reflecting the market's demand for companies benefiting from the growth in AI demand in the first half of the year.

Subsequently, the Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) fell 25% from its peak in June, and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) dropped about 12%. After reports that Meta was advancing the sale of excess GPU capacity, AI infrastructure stocks and computing service providers were sold off, and Bitcoin rebounded from a two-year low.
