MarketWatch reported that some investors who rushed to buy a leveraged ETF tied to the Nasdaq-100 index last month encountered losses.

These traders made a bullish bet on technology stocks, expecting a rebound after the dip.

However, the timing proved unfavorable, and the leveraged ETF did not perform as anticipated.
