Julius Caesar didn’t heed the well-known warning to “beware the Ides of March” however traders have been served properly once they have. Inventory costs have had a propensity to say no, typically relatively precipitously, throughout the latter days of the month.
Over the latest 21-year interval, March has tended to open properly with positive factors accumulating over its first three buying and selling days. A quick bout of weak point follows earlier than all indexes start transferring modestly increased into mid-month by means of month’s finish.
March packs a relatively busy docket. It’s the finish of the primary quarter, which brings with it Triple Witching and an abundance of portfolio maneuvers from The Road. March Triple-Witching Weeks have been fairly bullish lately. However the week after is the precise reverse,
In March 2020, DJIA plunged almost 4012 factors (-17.3%) throughout the week ending on the twentieth. Strong late-March positive factors in 2009 and once more in 2020 have improved common second half of March efficiency, however most bullish days are nonetheless within the first half of the month.

In the beginning of February, the bull-bear unfold ended its report streak of adverse readings as bulls lastly outnumbered bears. The surge in pessimism up to now couple of weeks, although, has resulted in additional adverse bull-bear readings.
Along with sentiment taking a extra bearish tone, far fewer respondents are reporting impartial sentiment. After the very best studying in almost a 12 months final week, solely 31.8% could not make up their thoughts this week. That eight proportion level drop from final week was the most important weekly decline since November.
Along with the AAII survey, different weekly sentiment readings have likewise made a rapid reversal again in the direction of adverse sentiment. Combining the readings of the AAII survey with the Traders Intelligence survey and the NAAIM Publicity Index, sentiment has gone from essentially the most cheery outlook in over a 12 months right down to pessimism proper according to the remainder of the previous 12 months. In truth, the 1.36 level decline because the excessive three weeks in the past ranks because the seventh largest decline in such a span because the composite begins in 2006.
Since sentiment is a contrarian indicator, the sharp bearish flip throughout these sentiment indicators ‘ought to’ be a sign for optimistic ahead efficiency. Nonetheless, that has not precisely been the case traditionally. Within the desk beneath, we present every prior week that the index has fallen a minimum of 1.25 factors with out having performed so within the prior three months.

One in all These Indices Is Not Just like the Others
Trying throughout the key US index ETFs in our Pattern Analyzer, one stands out (in a adverse manner) from all of the others. In the intervening time, the Dow is the one main US index within the crimson on a year-to-date foundation as we shut the books on February. Much more notable, is the truth that it is also the one one beneath its 50-DMA. Not solely is it beneath its 50-day, however it’s buying and selling firmly in oversold territory sitting over 1.5 normal deviations beneath its 50-day. Right this moment that dynamic of Dow underperformance continues because the index is falling one other 0.3% as of this writing whereas the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 2,000 are all increased.
Within the chart beneath, we present how far the S&P 500 and Dow are buying and selling (in normal deviations) from their respective 50-DMAs over the previous 5 years. For essentially the most half, the 2 large-cap indices have tracked each other comparatively properly regardless of their variations in composition and value calculations. That makes the present scenario through which the Dow is oversold with out the identical making use of to the S&P 500 considerably uncommon, albeit not with out priority. Whereas unusual, there have been intervals through which the indices have equally distanced themselves from each other like most not too long ago within the spring and fall of 2021.
Though there have been different instances through which the Dow and S&P’s overbought/oversold readings have deviated from each other, the present instance is abnormally massive. With a spot of 1.66 normal deviations between the 2 indices’ overbought/oversold readings versus their 50-DMA spreads, at present’s unfold ranks within the backside 1% of all readings since 1952 when the five-day buying and selling week started. Moreover, such low readings have been exceptionally uncommon up to now 20 years. Outdoors of June and September of 2021, August 2015 was the final occasion of the unfold falling this extensive with the Dow underperforming. Trying again even additional, 2004 was the one different occasion of the previous 20 years.
Tech Relative Energy Nonetheless Adverse
Every day in our Sector Snapshot, we offer up to date charts of the relative energy strains of every sector versus the S&P 500. Outdoors of a quick interval final summer time, Know-how, the most important sector by way of market cap, has seen its relative energy line sit in adverse territory for almost the entire of the previous 12 months. In different phrases, the broader market has outperformed the Tech sector nearly each day for a 12 months straight. Within the chart beneath, we present the one-year relative energy line of Tech versus the S&P going again to 1991. After among the most dramatic underperformance of the previous couple of a long time, Tech rebounded, and the sector has now solely underperformed the broader market by rather less than 3% up to now 12 months. Whereas Tech’s relative energy is just not as weak because it as soon as was and is closing in on the primary optimistic readings because the mid-summer, at present marks the 131st buying and selling day of consecutive adverse readings. That’s handily the longest streak in almost a decade and one in all solely six different instances a streak has eclipsed 100 buying and selling days.
The present streak has but to return to an in depth, however within the chart beneath, we present the efficiency of Tech and the S&P 500 following the conclusion of every of these prior streaks of 100 or extra days. General, efficiency does maintain a optimistic bias with optimistic returns a overwhelming majority of the time. That being mentioned, the typical dimension of these positive factors is just not precisely spectacular. Within the case of Tech, the typical and median positive factors are smaller than the norm throughout these time intervals. One 12 months out is the starkest distinction with a mean achieve of lower than 5% in comparison with what has usually been a achieve that sits within the mid-teens. Likewise, the S&P 500 tends to underperform the norm one 12 months later, however quick to medium-term efficiency is stronger than the norm.
