Subject: Weekly Market Update: Elevated Volatility and Short-Term Downside Risk
Dear SPR Premium Subscribers,
Geopolitical tensions have escalated significantly as the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran continues to intensify. As a result, oil prices have surged, increasing concerns about renewed inflationary pressure in the global economy.
During the past week, the U.S. equity market displayed highly volatile behavior. While sharp declines frequently occurred at the market open, strong dip-buying activity repeatedly emerged during intraday trading, reducing the magnitude of those losses. In several cases, markets opened sharply lower but gradually recovered during the session as buying pressure increased, sometimes even closing higher by the end of the day. As a result, despite the intraday volatility, the broader market has effectively moved in a sideways consolidation range.
However, from a short-term daily trend perspective, the defensive strength of dip-buying activity may be approaching its limits. Current conditions suggest that downside pressure could intensify through the early part of next week, potentially lasting until around Wednesday. Given this possibility, preparing for a period of stronger downside volatility would be a prudent approach. As the week progresses, selling pressure may begin to ease somewhat, but near-term downside sentiment may remain dominant during the early part of the week.
From a weekly trend perspective, the recent outbreak of conflict has effectively eliminated the previously anticipated possibility of an early-March transition into an upward trend. The weekly structure has now entered the Bearish zone for the second consecutive week, confirming that a downward trend is currently underway. Based on the present structural development, this downward trend could persist for approximately another one to two weeks.
Looking ahead, the market may begin to approach a potential inflection point between mid- and late-March. Specifically, the week beginning roughly between March 16 and March 23 could mark the starting point of a rebound phase. Around this timeframe, investors may consider gradually responding to potential rebound signals or selectively accumulating high-conviction opportunities during periods of market weakness.
If a rebound trend becomes confirmed around mid-March, the resulting upward movement could potentially extend through late April. That said, given the ongoing geopolitical situation, it is important to recognize that market conditions may change rapidly depending on how the conflict develops.
In an environment of heightened uncertainty such as the current one, maintaining flexibility and disciplined risk management in position sizing remains essential. This update reflects our current analytical perspective based on available information and should be considered as general market insight rather than personalized investment advice.
