📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added SOXS than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
77 hedge funds hold SOXS right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +88% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+36 new funds entered over the past year (+88% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 81% buying
72 buying17 selling
Last quarter: 72 funds were net buyers (51 opened a brand new position + 21 added to an existing one). Only 17 were sellers (6 trimmed + 11 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+37 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SOXS position: 18 → 15 → 14 → 51. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 25% long-term, 56% new
■ 25% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 56% new
Of the 77 current holders: 19 (25%) held >2 years, 15 held 1–2 years, and 43 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +601%, value -41%
Last quarter: funds added +601% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -41%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
17 → 18 → 15 → 14 → 51 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 15 → 14 → 51. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 42% veterans vs 51% newcomers
■ 42% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 51% new
Entry-cohort mix of 84 holders: 35 (42%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 43 (51%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 64% AUM from top-100 funds
64% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 77 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 64% of total institutional value in SOXS. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
