DDM: Ultra Dow 30 Proshares Fund
July 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment
DDM is an ETF that tracks the Dow and is described as:
“The Ultra Dow30 seeks investment results generally equivalent to twice (200%) the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index.”
That said, there are some very positive signals on this chart (circled in red) that indicate a market rally is probably going to take place soon.
Right off the bat this is what I’m seeing:
- The downward channel that began early May was tested and then broken on OK volume. I say OK because it was above average but the day before (the test) was better.
- Resistance @ $61.45 was also broken in this recent push forward.
- The 20 day EMA has been crossed.
- MACD had a beautiful cross a few days earlier and is now on it’s way up. This signal is confirmed by 3 points i outlined above.
The RSI is not attractive to me. I don’t like the slope it’s had since pivoting upwards.
I think the buying opportunity is right now. I would buy @ the current price of $62.45, put a tight stop loss on it and use the $65.00 mark as a potential selling point. If the price rockets through $65 then the position will need to be reevaluated.
