The Direxion Daily S&P500 Bull 3X Shares is a leveraged ETF that could set investors up for knock-out risk due to its composition and structure. The concentration of the S&P 500's top holdings, particularly in the tech sector, poses a risk of magnified losses for SPXL in a highly concentrated market.
