How Spread Betting Can Help You Manage the Decline of May Highs

LONDON, July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Sandy Jadeja, Chief Technical Analyst of City Index (http://www.cityindex.co.uk/) recently stated: "The recent decline from the May highs has taken stock indices right down into major support levels. Failure to hold at current levels could spark a further sell-off.

"The FTSE 100 failed to hold onto 5787 and is now at a key level of 5702. If the index does not stabilise here, it could be looking at reaching 5594 with the potential of falling as low as 5456. Immediate action for the FTSE is to see a break above 5830 to turn this correction around. The US Dow Jones is also closing in on 11838 with a lower support level at 11713 on the cards. If neither of these levels supports the index then 11555 is a high probability trade for the bears."

One advantage of spread betting is that it allows you to short sell, so you can profit directly from falling markets as well as rising ones.
