A Look At The Stock Market Following Independence Day Holiday: The Bull, Bear Case
Portfolio Pulse from Melanie Schaffer
Ahead of the Fourth of July holiday, the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) closed slightly higher on below-average volume. The ETF printed an inside bar pattern on the daily chart, indicating a bullish continuation, but a bearish quadruple top pattern could cause resistance near the $444 level. Traders can play the SPY either bullishly or bearishly through Direxion ETFs: Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X Shares (NYSE: SPXL) and Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: SPXS). These triple leveraged funds track the movement of the SPY, seeking a return of 300% or negative 300% on the return of the benchmark index over a single day.
