Even though the semiconductor shortage is impacting the demand in some areas, the demand is expected to further improve as some of those issues ease.
Micron stock tested an upward trendline in the second half of June - the trendline may be seen as the near-term support given the ongoing pullback. Apart from that, the area near $74.50 may be the critical support based on previous price action. On the other hand, one can notice that the price was not able to break above the 100-day moving average (green line) in June - this would be the first major obstacle for buyers if the stock recovers.
