Portfolio Pulse from Melanie Schaffer
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) saw a slight increase despite higher-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls data, which could affect Federal Reserve rate cut decisions. The SPY is maintaining its uptrend and is above the eight-day EMA. Traders can use Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X Shares (SPXL) and Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X Shares (SPXS) to play the market bullishly or bearishly. SPXL is showing a bull flag pattern with a potential move towards $126, while maintaining its uptrend. Leveraged ETFs like SPXL and SPXS are intended for short-term trading, not long-term investments.
