Methodology: each issue's direction is a live signal — long/short opens or holds a position, neutral means flat, and every direction change opens, flips, or closes it. Returns are direction-aware (a short gains when the price falls) and compound across positions from first observation to the latest issue. "Price move" is the stock's own raw change, shown separately. Neither represents actual portfolio performance.
Brief History (23 issues)
Up 2.03% to 157.68, less than 1% off the 52-week high of 158.63, sitting at the 99th percentile of its range with RSI pressing 66.4. With CPI and PPI both benign the S&P has a full tailwind, but running 3x leverage at all-time-high altitude with a warm RSI is bad odds. A pullback to the 20-day at 144.87 is the better spot to watch. Volatility decay makes this a day-trade weapon, never a core position.
The 3x S&P bull added 0.78% to 154.55, within striking distance of its 52-week high of 157.50. RSI at 63.3 is firm but not overbought, and price holds above all three SMAs (144.17/142.33/124.18) in a clean bullish stack. With CPI in line and the index at records, the short-term tape favors longs, though chasing at highs offers thin edge — and 3x compounding decay means this is not a hold-and-forget vehicle.
Down 1.05% with RSI at 62.1. A 3x S&P long with the index within 1% of record highs — into CPI and a live September hike debate, the risk-reward on leveraged longs is plainly asymmetric.
Down 0.05% with RSI at 64.9. A 3x long on the S&P with the index near record highs and RSI elevated — an asymmetric risk-reward for leveraged longs at this level.
Up 1.73% as 3x the S&P's 0.62%, with RSI firm at 65.0 just 1.6% below the $157.50 high after an 11.5% week — a tailwind instrument on a record close, for short-term use only.
Down 0.53% as 3x the S&P's 0.2% decline, with RSI still firm at 62.7 after a 13.4% week. With the index easing from record highs, decay costs peak here — strictly a short-term tool.
3x long the S&P 500, off 0.6% today, RSI 63.9 warm, 25% above the SMA200. A strong index trend, but leverage is short-term only — mind amplified pullbacks.
Up 5.34% as 3x the S&P's 1.79%, with RSI at 65.2 approaching the $155.41 high — a tailwind instrument while indices set records, though leveraged products aren't for overnight holds.
Up 4.31% as 3x the S&P's 1.48%, with a healthy RSI of 58.3 above every moving average. A tailwind instrument on a risk-on day, but leveraged products aren't for overnight holds.
Up 0.69%, tripling the S&P's 0.13% gain. RSI 45.5 is neutral, but implied volatility is elevated into tonight's Fed decision and the carrying cost of leverage is high — sidelines
Down 3.6% — 3x S&P, cut leverage into event week
The 3x S&P rode the rebound +2.5%; with FOMC next week and tariffs expiring Friday, carry light leverage through the events
Down 3.18% to $139.05 — even a mild S&P dip bleeds under a 3x lens; halving leverage before an FOMC week is common sense, not cowardice
Down 1.6% to $143.61 — routine 3x decay on a quiet index day
Up 1.1% to $145.87 — 3x leverage near S&P records rises easy and falls faster
Down 2.4% to $142.73 — 3x S&P into CPI eve makes leverage a liability
Up 1.2% as the S&P hugged records; a trending tape is friendly terrain for the 3x long
Up 2.5% as the 3x S&P neared the highs; leverage sails on trend days and bleeds on flat ones
Down 1.0% as the 3x S&P retested the 20-day; no direction, no leverage
Structurally identical to SPXL — pick one
Structurally identical 3x S&P to SPXL — pick one
3x S&P flat above its 20-day; with index vol fading, decay is at its mildest
S&P trend steady; disciplined play is longs at the 50-day ($138) retest with a hard stop
