The DUG (UltraShort Oil & Gas, ETF), my hedge postion against a nasty but well overdue correction in the energy names and indices, is beginning to climb... Let's take a look..
After two weeks of sideways trading between 47.00 and 43.00, today's strength suggests that the DUG has completed a base-like pattern in the aftermath of its vicious correction from the 1/23 high at 54.64 to the 42.62 low on 1/30. However, completing a base is still one significant step from transcending a new upleg. The DUG must hurdle and sustain above 47.10/20 to trigger upside acceleration towards a retest of the January high.
