$ProShares UltraPro S&P 500(UPRO)$ ππ Tactical entry or trapdoor fall? Why Iβve started accumulating UPRO π§ ππ
Iβve initiated a tactical position in ProShares UltraPro S&P 500 (UPRO) after the ETF pulled back sharply to the lower Bollinger/Keltner bands on both the 4H and weekly timeframes. My entry begins at $91.89, following a textbook bearish engulfing candle that mimics prior short-term tops, but with one key distinction: volume.
Institutional activity has not exited. This weekβs pullback came on declining volume, suggesting that large funds are sitting tight while retail participants cash out after Julyβs strong rally. That divergence matters. Itβs nearly identical to what we saw in February and April 2025, where profit-taking dragged price lower temporarily, only to rebound sharply once selling pressure exhausted.
Iβm entering now, not because I expect an instant reversal, but because this pullback offers a rare volatility window to layer into a structurally strong uptrend. The long-term setup remains intact. Weekly momentum has not broken, and the rising EMAs and compression channel continue to support higher time-frame conviction.
π On the 4H chart, UPRO has:
β’ Pierced through all three EMAs (13, 21, 55) for the first time since May
β’ Landed on the lower Keltner band while still within the rising channel
β’ Mirrored volatility spikes similar to the pre-April launchpad
π On the weekly chart:
β’ Weβve formed a bearish engulfing candle at the upper Bollinger limit
β’ But the decline is not volume-confirmed
β’ Support sits near the 21-week EMA (~$86.40), but Iβm happy scaling from here, not chasing perfection
π‘ Why UPRO over SOXL or TQQQ?
Because UPRO offers broader institutional alignment. While SOXL and TQQQ are crowded AI and semiconductor trades (now saturated and overheating), UPRO rides the full S&P 500 with massive leveraged compounding over time. The data speaks for itself:
π If youβd invested $10,000 ten years ago:
β’ SPY: $36,400
β’ QQQ: $57,685
β’ SSO (2Γ): $68,795
β’ UPRO (3Γ): $99,722
β’ TQQQ: $242,182
Thatβs not a fluke. Thatβs the power of disciplined leverage with market breadth.
π§ͺ From 2015 to 2025:
β’ SPX is up +432%
β’ SSO is up +1,866%
β’ UPRO is up +4,227%
These setups donβt come often, and when they do, theyβre not loud. They look like this: a quiet engulfing candle, a test of lower bands, and vanishing volume from the selling side. Thatβs where I build, not bail.
Iβm using a tiered accumulation plan here, starting light, with plans to scale near $88 and $86 if the pattern follows the Feb/Apr blueprint. This isnβt a scalp. Itβs a tactical swing framed by 10-year data, strong price structure, and historical edge.
π Profit-takers may have power short term, but the price action says institutions are holding the line. So will I.
