Here's what happened the previous 5 times this occurred
SOXS spiked 131% off its all-time low and has now given back 77% of that move.
This has happened 5 times before, and each of those 5 instances obviously ended the same way: a new all-time low. The only variables have been the time required to reach that low and the size of the bounces along the way.
| All-time low | Spike peak | Gave back 77% | Bounces of 10%+ (after giving back 77%) | Biggest bounce | Sessions to new lows (after giving back 77%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 18, 2011 | Aug 9, 2011 | Sep 15, 2011 | 6 | +68.9% | 79 |
| Jun 1, 2015 | Aug 24, 2015 | Oct 14, 2015 | 2 | +78.6% | 105 |
| Feb 19, 2020 | Mar 17, 2020 | Mar 24, 2020 | 1 | +23.0% | 2 |
| Jan 4, 2022 | Jul 5, 2022 | Jul 21, 2022 | 7 | +168.9% | 82 |
| Jan 22, 2025 | Apr 7, 2025 | Apr 9, 2025 | 3 | +54.1% | 20 |
| Jun 30, 2026 | Jul 29, 2026 | Aug 5, 2026 | 2 | +18.5% | 3 so far |
Across the 6 cycles the ETF produced an average of 3.5 bounces of 10% or more after giving back 77%. The median size of the largest bounce was 61.5%. These bounces are measured from new lower lows in each cycle so each one is a distinct bounce rather than a continuation of the same move.
The cycle that began at the January 4, 2022 all-time low is the extreme case. It gave back 77% of the spike on July 21, 2022, then bounced seven separate times, and the largest of those reached 168.9% before it finally made a new all-time low.
The cycle that began at the February 19, 2020 all-time low is the opposite extreme. It gave back 77% of the spike on March 24, 2020, and a new low arrived only 2 sessions later, interrupted by a single 23% bounce.
SOXS gave back 77% of its 131% spike on August 5, 2026. 3 sessions have passed and it has bounced at least 10% twice so far, the larger of them 18.5%.
