Technical analyst Quint Tatro is watching the S&P 500 and the Dow very closely and he says you need to be very concerned with a few numbers.
In the S&P he’s watching 1292, which he calls a battleground area. On Friday the index traded above this important technical level which could signal a new trend. Tatro recommends long Ultra S&P500 Proshares . with a stop around 1265.
And in the Dow he’s watching 11,700 on the same sort of premise. If the Dow breaks out above this level he suggests long Ultra Dow30 ProShares because the move may signal that the Dow is breaking out of its current channel.
