Our Model Portfolio moved to cash following market sell signals, and we are now investing $50,000 in the inverse ProShares UltraShort S&P500 ETF. Our short-term prediction is that the SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust will keep falling because of tensions in the Middle East. We anticipate a market rebound once the Middle East situation is resolved, but we still expect weakness in August due to seasonal factors.

ProShares UltraShort S&P500 was added to our 2024MP Model Portfolio as the market is turning down. Communications Sector SPDR (XLC) and Technology Sector (XLK) were deleted from our Model Portfolio. Market weakness is indicated by the dropping prices in mega caps, a weakening economy, and the Fed's decision to stop raising rates.

S&P 500 Index on track to deliver 25% returns in 2023, one of the best years following last year's poor returns. In the short-term, markets are extremely overbought and nimble traders may be able to bet against the market using the SDS. However, over the long-run, the SDS ETF suffers from volatility decay and historically loses money.

This is a technical analysis article. As the debt ceiling game plays out, we think the market goes down, so we have used excess cash in our Model Portfolio to swing trade using the SDS. As you know, the SDS goes up when the SPY goes down. We think the sell signal on the Point & Figure chart below means the SPY is going down.
