The BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN) share price finished the session on Tuesday up 8.82% to 55.5 cents.
This is a big turnaround from yesterday when the ASX tech share lost 15% during trading to reach a new 52-week trough of 50 cents.
The dramatic drop prompted an official ASX price query but BrainChip said it could not explain the crash.
What’s driving the BrainChip share price rise?
There is no news from the company today. Thus, it’s safe to assume that today’s 9% gain is a reaction from traders ‘buying the dip‘ on the BrainChip share price for a potential short-term gain.
We often see this sort of volatility in speculative small-cap shares, especially those in the tech sector. BrainChip also operates in the artificial intelligence (AI) space, which is still in its infancy.
Brainchip has developed the world’s first commercial neuromorphic processor, called Akida. It can be integrated into computer chips to deliver AI reasoning and conclusions from sensor-captured data.
BrainChip shipped its first production chips in 2021 and is now seeking to manufacture at volume.

Great day for ASX tech shares
