Since its recent high of $32.75, the XFN ETF seems to have lost some of its bullish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chart&nbsp;1: Daily changes in the price of the XFN ETF to April 22, 2020 ($29.97)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"378\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/2020_04_30_graph-760x378-1.png\" alt=\"Daily changes in the price of the XFN ETF to April 22, 2020 ($29.97)\" class=\"wp-image-43850 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/2020_04_30_graph-760x378-1.png 760w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/2020_04_30_graph-760x378-1-700x348.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/2020_04_30_graph-760x378-1-300x149.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 760px; aspect-ratio: 760\/378;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Tradingview.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If our bearish scenario materializes, we can expect the $24.99 level to be tested again, perhaps by the June 2020 expiration.

Please note that no action will be taken if the price of FNB begins to rise instead of fall as we had expected. As a result, it will be important to pay close attention to the total capital invested in this strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good luck with your trading, and have a good week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optionmatters.ca\/profiting-from-the-second-wave-downturn\/#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;Note that we valued all the put options expiring on June 19, 2020 but, for practical reasons, we have presented only a small sample of the options in that list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted on April 30, 2020 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optionmatters.ca\/profiting-from-the-second-wave-downturn\/\">Profiting From the Second-Wave Downturn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The strategies described in this blog are for information and training purposes only, and should not be interpreted as recommendations to buy or sell any security.&nbsp;As always, you should ensure that you are comfortable with the proposed scenarios and ready to assume all the risks before implementing an option strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dollars expressed are in CAD<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bear market, the lows of the first market downturn are often retested following a rally like the one we have just seen.
