Frothy or Still on Fire? 2 Ways to Trade Tech

Large-cap growth names in the tech industry continue to ride the coattails of the artificial intelligence (AI) theme that’s been powering much of the stock market’s 2025 stock gains, but is the party about to end? Whether the music stops or continues isn’t a trader’s concern if they have the right tools in place: the Direxion Daily Technology Top 5 Bull 2X ETF (TTXU) and the Direxion Daily Technology Top 5 Bear 2X ETF (TTXD).

The prevailing sentiment appears to be that stock market valuations may have reached an apex in Magnificent Seven names like Nvidia or Apple. As such, the word “bubble” is starting to make an appearance in the financial news, which is causing investors to think twice about their allocations into these big tech names. To some market observers, it’s an eerie reminder of the Dot-Com Bubble in 2000.

“Today’s valuations are heading towards levels we saw during the bullishness about the internet 25 years ago,” said Kristalina Georgieva, IMF managing director.

Yet, other market observers are taking more of a glass-half-full approach. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategist Peter Oppenheimer noted that strong earnings have been the primary catalyst for tech’s lofty valuations, as opposed to pure speculation that was rampant during the Dot-Com Era.

“Valuations of the technology sector are becoming stretched, but not yet at levels consistent with historical bubbles,” Oppenheimer said.

Bubble or no bubble, traders need not worry with TTXU and TTXD in their proverbial toolbox.

Trading Tech’s Titans

TTXU and TTXD are part of the latest addition to Direxion’s leveraged/inverse ETF product suite: the Titans Leveraged & Inverse ETFs. The funds strike a balance between getting single-stock ETF exposure and trading a whole sector. Essentially, it’s the Goldilocks, middle-of-the-road option that allows traders to focus specifically on industry movers and shakers that comprise the sector.

In the case of TTXU and TTXD, the funds track the S&P 500 Information Technology (Sector) Top 5 Equal Capped Index. Both feature 200% exposure to the upside or downside, allowing traders to make profitable moves in the tech sector — TTXU for bullish moves and TTXD for bearish moves.

As of September 30, the fund’s holdings currently show Apple, Broadcom, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Oracle. As its index states, each company gets an equal weighting, 20% allocated across these five names. The funds are rebalanced on a quarterly basis to ensure the top five companies are always represented.
