There Are Downside Opportunities Everywhere – Watch These Symbols
Chris Vermeulen | Apr 14, 2020 02:09PM ET
As the global markets enter the Q1 earnings season where a host of new data and expectations will flood the markets over the next 30+ days, skilled traders should put these three symbols on their watch-
list over the next few days and weeks.
We've been writing about how we believe the downside risks within the U.S. and global stock markets are still very real. Many industry analysts believe the bottom has set up in the U.S. stock market already. We don't believe this is the case. Our Adaptive Fibonacci Price Modeling system continues to suggest a deeper downside move is in the works and we believe this potential retest of recent lows will
setup another incredible opportunity for skilled traders.
Recently, we've posted a number of research articles to help you understand what is really taking place in the global markets. The COVID-19 virus has set-off a consumer demand contraction event that will
ripple across all sectors of the global economy. There is no other way to interpret the data right now – if consumers don't come back into the economy at levels near the late 2019 engagement levels, then the global economy will continue to contract. Consumers make up more than 85% of GDP values.
Here are some of our most recent articles to assist you:

Now, onto the three symbols setting up an incredible upside opportunity if the global markets rotate lower as our predictive modelling is suggesting:
FAZ – Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares (NYSE:FAZ) Sector ETF
The first symbol is FAZ. This ETF moves higher as the financial sector stocks move lower. These include banks, financial institutions, and other financial services companies. The reason we believe FAZ has a potential to move higher is that we believe the lack of consumer engagement in retail, restaurants, leisure shopping and other types of normal spending activities will put incredible pressure on business loans, consumer loans, commercial and residential real estate, business credit lines and many other aspects of the financial sector. Simply put, it would be foolish to think that some level of
default and/or extended risks would not come from any type of consumer disengagement from the economy.
Again, consumers make up over 85% of the total GDP levels. If we take away even 20% to 30% of these consumers, we could see a dramatic collapse in certain sectors of the economy. Thus, we believe the Financial sector is poised for another downside price move, which will prompt a
rise in FAZ from current levels to near $50~$60. This represents 65% to 85%+ upside potential.

MZZ – ProShares UltraShort MidCap400 (NYSE:MZZ)
The MidCap sector is uniquely vulnerable to any economic contraction related to consumer activity. Many of the Midcap companies are uniquely consumer-based and/or consumer sector related. Thus,
should another market downtrend attempt to retest recent lows or attempt to set up a deeper price bottom, the Midcap 400 ETF may see an incredible upside price move. Upside price targets are near
$29 to $30 – which is 55% to 65% higher than the current price level. Ultimately, any deeper price lows set up because of a deeper price bottom setting up in the U.S. and global markets could push MZZ
well above $35.
QID – ProShares UltraShort QQQ (NYSE:QID) ETF
The last symbol we believe could see a big upside move related to increased future risk in the U.S. and global markets is QID – the NASDAQ Inverted ETF. The reason we believe risks in the U.S. and global major markets may bleed over into this ETF is that the NASDAQ has been a major component of U.S. and foreign investment over the past 24+ months. Global investors continue to believe that technology firms will outperform the general market – thus, more capital has poured into this sector of the market over the past 20+ months than many other sectors.
This capital influx also creates an opportunity for contrarian traders if the markets fail to recover – as many people believe will happen. This capital that has recently poured into the NASDAQ may become
“at-risk” if another deeper downside price move takes place. Investors may have hard stops in place and forced selling may take place if the markets attempt to establish a deeper price bottom in the near
future.
Conservatively, an upside price move in QID to levels near $27 (45%) is the first Fibonacci target.
Further upside target levels near $30.50, $42.50 and $44.25 also exist. Of course, these higher target levels would be the result of a much deeper global market collapse where a deeper bottom in price is
established.
Concluding Thoughts:
We believe these three symbols present very real opportunities for skilled technical traders. Wait for the right setup and confirmation before jumping into these trades. If the U.S. and global markets begin to
move lower on poor earnings or economic data, jump over to these charts to see how they are reacting to price weakness. There is a very real opportunity for 20~40+% profits in each of these charts with
the right setup in place.
