The SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) rose about 1% during Wednesday's trading session, ahead of Nvidia Corporation's earnings print and the Jackson Hole Symposium. The SPY had fallen 5.75% between July 17 and Aug. 18 before rebounding over the last four trading days. There's a possibility the market ETF could be settling into a bear flag pattern. If the SPY breaks down from the bear flag pattern, volatility in the stock market is likely to increase. Traders can trade the potential volatility with options like the ConvexityShares Daily 1.5x SPIKES Futures ETF (NYSE:SPKY) and ProShares Ultra VIX Short Term Futures ETF (NYSE:UVXY).
