This latest cycle of UVXY trades was a great learning experience. I managed to profitably sell three tranches of UVXY shares AND a fistful of put options. I am now left with a small number of UVXY shares as a potential play on the S&#038;P 500 failing to break through its 50DMA. Since T2108 is nowhere close to overbought, I am not interested in any aggressive bearish bets here. In fact, if the S&#038;P 500 breaks out ABOVE its 50DMA, I will get even more aggressive on bullish bets (and likely keep the UVXY shares as a partial hedge). In another (re)lesson, my ProShares Ultra S&#038;P500 (SSO) call options will most likely expire worthless on Friday. As I mentioned in a previous T2108 Update, I should have bought SSO shares instead of call options. The shares would have allowed me to wait patiently for the uncertainties swirling around the oversold conditions to resolve to the upside. The S&#038;P 500 is now up 2.5% since its oversold lows.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian dollar (FXA) is the final bullish indicator. It is rallying against the Japanese yen (FXY) and serving as a solid confirmation of the bullish jump from oversold conditions. I will be watching AUD\/JPY very closely along with the VIX on the S&#038;P 500 50DMA retest. AUD\/JPY is in a critical position as it yet again reaches its recent highs. If AUD\/JPY manages to leap over the top of the presumed trading channel, I will be compelled to get aggressively bullish if I am not already there at that time.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23936\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23936\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/140814_AUDJPY.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/go even above this current trading, drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/140814_AUDJPY.png\" alt=\"Confirming growing market bullishness: The Australian dollar is on the move against the Japanese yet again\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/140814_AUDJPY.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/140814_AUDJPY-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23936\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Confirming growing market bullishness: The Australian dollar is on the move against the Japanese yet again<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Overall, the trading rules remain in place.
