What's going on with the Life360 share price today?

The Life360 share price has taken a tumble today despite there being no news out of the company.

Though, it is worth noting that Life360 and a range of tech shares have been sold off again today following a poor night of trade on Wall Street's Nasdaq index.

Here's a summary of some of big declines:

  • The Appen Ltd (ASX: APX) share price is down 7%
  • The EML Payments Ltd (ASX: EML) share price is down 6%
  • The Tyro Payments Ltd (ASX: TYR) share price is down 10%
  • The Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP) share price is down 7%

Anything else?

Something else that could potentially be weighing on the Life360 share price today is tax loss selling.

Life360 and the other tech shares listed above share on thing in common – they are all on course to record sizeable declines for the financial year. This could mean that some investors are selling off their holdings today to claim a loss on their tax returns.
