# Weekly Recap | AXTQ.US -18.94%, pullback ends near week low

## The Week

AXTQ.US fell 18.94% this week to $18.961, down from $23.39 the prior Friday. The S&P 500 dipped 0.27%, leaving the ETF about 18.67 percentage points behind the benchmark. The week started with a push to $27.76 on Monday, then drifted lower over the next three sessions before Friday’s slide to $18.08, the week’s low. As a 2x inverse ETF tied to AXTI, AXTQ.US moves opposite to its underlying. Weekly amplitude reached 38.83%, and average daily volume of roughly 755,000 shares was nearly 3x the median, pointing to unusually active trading.

## Sector News

Tech’s frontier pocket made headlines this week. On 29 September, reports touched on quantum breakthroughs and a wave of eVTOL deals, framing September as a month of divergence across the sector. The same evening, another piece highlighted AI execution driving a split between industrial and biotech stocks. A 30 September roundup listed ten tech names that posted double-digit gains in September. On 2 October, Lumentum led as technology and semiconductor names drove order flow activity. That pickup in semiconductor and hardware trading formed the broader backdrop, though AXTQ.US, as an inverse product, moved against that upward tilt.

## The Week Ahead

The coming macro calendar runs from 5 to 7 October. Monday brings the final S&P Global services PMI, with a prior reading of 58.7, followed by ISM non-manufacturing PMI, where the prior is 55.4 and the consensus is 55. Tuesday sees international trade data, with the prior at -$88.6 and a forecast of -$102, plus revised goods trade figures. Wednesday adds EIA weekly crude and Cushing inventory numbers. These prints will shape risk appetite across tech and semiconductor exposure, which could feed back into the directional bets AXTQ.US tracks.

## In Short

An 18.94% weekly drop, a 38.83% swing and a near 3x volume spike point to expanding disagreement. The latest session’s money-flow snapshot shows small and medium orders skewed net positive, while large-lot flow gives no clear direction, so the structure is mixed. Price sits near the bottom of its 33-session range, with the 20-day and 60-day averages at $32.74 and $39.098, both far above the current level. The open question is whether next week’s US services and trade figures keep risk appetite firm, and whether sector order flow holds, which would decide if this ETF’s volatility settles or stays elevated.
