Philadelphia Semiconductor Index Hits Near Two-Week Low: Is AI Bubble Receding or Oversold Rebound Buying Point?

Tradingkey - Since April 2026, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) has maintained a unilateral upward trend, reaching an intraday all-time high on May 14. As of that date, the index recorded a cumulative gain of 69.05%, approximately double the increase of the Nasdaq 100 Index ETF (QQQ) over the same period, significantly outperforming the broader technology sector. However, the index entered a rapid correction starting in mid-May. Yesterday, it fell as much as 3.6% intraday, touching a low of 10,895.75 points, a nearly two-week low. By the close, the SOX had declined 6.8% from its recent peak.
