What's happening with BrainChip today?
Investors are bidding up the BrainChip share price following a strong rebound across the S&P/ASX All Technology Index (ASX: XTX).
After falling almost 10% in a week, the tech sector is powering ahead by 1.63% to 1,854.5 points today.
In addition, it appears investors are taking advantage of the share price weakness in BrainChip.

The S&P Dow Jones Indices announced its quarterly rebalance of the S&P/ASX Indices at the beginning of this month.
Most fund managers are required to buy or sell shares within specific indexes such as the ASX 200. With this in mind, investors usually like to take pre-emptive action in buying these shares before being accessible to fund managers.
