A basket of retail traders’ favorite stocks of 2021 showed fresh signs of investor fatigue as the group extended losses past 20% amid a rotation into large-cap tech names.

The group of 37 so-called meme stocks tracked by Bloomberg fell 4.2% on Tuesday, marking a 23% decline from a June 8 high. Recent high-flier Newegg Commerce Inc. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. have tumbled 32% and 15% respectively this week.
