Market fluctuations this month are seemingly inevitable, which should pan out well for one options trader who bet $9 million on a September volatility spike. For traders who want to stay ready when trading the S&P 500 and big tech, they can use leveraged/inverse ETFs from Direxion.

With Volatility Inevitable, Stay Ready With These ETFs

When volatility hits major market indexes, it can spark a sense of angst. But for short-term traders, market fluctuations open the door for opportunities.

S&P Volatility Ahead Opens Door for Short-Term Traders

A slow but steady summer climb in the S&P 500 has been evident by the low volatility. But the possibility of a potential correction means traders can be prepared with a pair of leveraged ETFs from Direxion.

2 ETFs for a Steady S&P Climb and a Potential Correction

Timing is crucial when trading leveraged ETFs like SPXS, these funds are not meant for long-term investment. Current economic indicators suggest downward pressure on stocks, making SPXS a speculative bearish wager. Market conditions, high valuations, and political uncertainty indicate potential catalysts for a market correction.

SPXS: The Timing Might Be Right Again

When stock market indexes experience sharp drawdowns, it can hit traders swiftly and unexpectedly. That said, market navigators can prepare themselves and potentially profit using inverse ETFs; two ETFs in particular from Direxion Investments.

As investors search for safe havens in volatile markets, bear market funds are gaining popularity as a diversified asset class designed to withstand exceptionally volatile markets. While bear market funds can be appealing during periods of economic downturn due to their potential to produce returns against market movements, these funds can also be exceptionally volatile and risky.

Bear Market Funds to Watch This Year

The S&P 500 has been touching new highs after a rocky start to the first quarter of 2024, and is doing the same thing again at the start of Q2. While market corrections will happen invariably, it's a reminder that traders can always take advantage of any short-term weakness.

Increased optimism in rate cuts may be slowly dissipating as the economy continues to run hot and inflation remains sticky. That opens opportunities in bearish exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as investors continue hoping for a rate cut that may not come as quickly as they had hoped for.

3 Bear ETFs to Consider as Treasury Yields Climb

Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X Shares ETF is a popular instrument for shorting the market, but its daily -3X leverage factor causes drift. The reason why leveraged ETFs drift. Biotechnology, semiconductors, and precious metals ETFs show the largest drifts.

Any sliver of news that feeds into the higher-for-longer interest rates narrative will be an unwelcome guest for tech bulls. For traders looking to feed off bearishness, it's an opportunity to take advantage of inverse exchange traded funds (ETFs).

The markets these days have been especially sensitive to economic data, as any indication of weakness could mean rate cuts may finally be close. That, in effect, should also push the S&P 500 to even higher heights.

Increased Jobless Claims Could Fuel Rate Cuts & S&P 500

Investors have been basking in the sunlight of a year-end market rally in 2023 that appears to be continuing in 2024 after a slow start to January. However, a Fed that's keeping rates steady amid hotter-than-expected inflation is allowing volatility to spike, but offers a potential inverse ETF play for traders.

Volatility Spikes Offer Inverse Play on S&P 500

Just a few weeks into 2024, Wall Street banks are already increasing their year-end S&P 500 forecasts despite a low start. Strategists at UBS now expect the index to reach 300 points higher than their original forecast.

Wall Street Banks Bump Up Their Year-End S&P 500 Forecasts

There was a lot of optimism just before the new year, but that may have already been priced into 2023's gains for the S&P 500. January is historically a slow month for the index, which should be enough to appease the bears if that trend persists.

A Historically Slow January Should Keep S&P Bears Satisfied

The SPDR S&P 500 SPY popped up about 0.5% higher at one point Friday, despite U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing non-farm payrolls came in higher-than-expected, which brought into question whether the Federal Reserve will follow through with a rate cut campaign next year.

Shorting or hedging against companies driving innovation and growth in the US stock markets is not a viable long-term strategy. Historical trends suggest that bear markets are relatively short-lived, and positive trends in the market indicate potential long-term growth for large firms and disruptive innovators. ETFs that bet against innovation and growth are likely to underperform their benchmarks in the long term. It is better to invest in stocks of innovative firms and funds tracking major indexes.
