Stock Traders Daily has recommended to clients that they close positions in ProShares UltraShort QQQ (ETF) (NYSEARCA:QID) in association with the rules governing our Alerts Viewer Strategy.

According to our observations the market declines that were taking place on Tuesday have the ability to reverse themselves and if they do the market can stage a rally beyond Monday's highs and possibly higher, and if that happens we do not want to maintain QID positions.

This trading operation is being made in conjunction with defined support levels that the market was testing on Tuesday.  The declines that took place on Tuesday brought the market back down to the support levels and if the market maintains the support levels it will have a high probability of increasing back to recent highs at least.

These support levels remain inflection and if they break bearish signals are going to prevail, but for now higher levels are suggested because those support levels are holding and although the chart patterns are neutral and not upward sloping the magnitude of the increase from support to resistance should one occur would be construed as bullish.

This trading recommendation was to secure gains from the double short ETF.
