Michael Burry, famed for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has increased his bearish bets against AI-linked chipmakers through the iShares Semiconductor ETF. His move has reignited concerns over stretched semiconductor valuations, the sustainability of the AI rally, and the possibility of a sharp correction in technology stocks.

Michael Burry has shorted Micron at $1,051 per share, warning AI chip stocks face a 30% correction as $500B in new capacity threatens to flood the market.

Chip stocks lost 12% in two days as profit-taking and mixed signals from Broadcom and SK Hynix rattled the AI trade. Bitcoin fell too.
