Israel Defense Forces: Recently, the Israel Defense Forces detected a missile launched from Iran heading towards Israeli territory. Defense systems are operational to intercept the threat.March 19th - Amid escalating tensions in Iran, the Bank of Japan maintained its benchmark interest rate. The yen rose 0.1% against the dollar to 159.64. The Iranian conflict has pushed up oil prices, exacerbating inflationary pressures in Japan, which is heavily reliant on Middle Eastern oil. The yen weakened overnight after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated that there would be no further rate cuts until inflation begins to decline. Sources familiar with the matter indicated that the Bank of Japan is still likely to raise rates, with the possibility of an April hike not ruled out. Market focus will shift to the press conference held by Governor Kazuo Ueda at 2:30 PM today for any clues regarding the timing of a rate hike. The recent depreciation of the yen has prompted warnings from Japanese officials. The Finance Minister stated that the authorities are fully prepared to act if necessary. However, strategists believe the threshold for intervention is high, as rising oil prices and robust US data fundamentally pushing the dollar higher may make it more difficult for authorities to find a reason to intervene.Bank of Japan: Japans economy is recovering moderately, but some sectors remain weak.Bank of Japan: We must pay attention to market trends and rising oil prices.Bank of Japan: Risks to Japans economic outlook include the situation in the Middle East, oil price volatility, and market developments, including foreign exchange rates.

During the trading session on Monday, the S&P 500 promptly declined and shown symptoms of weakness once again. After all, indexes traded lower globally.

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

Prior to the S&P 500 opening up for trade on Monday, there was a lot of selling pressure felt across the globe, which caused the S&P 500 to decline dramatically. That so, the 3950 level continues to provide considerable resistance, so we should monitor it carefully. Additionally, the 50 Day EMA is beginning to approach that region as well, so I believe everything fits together really well for resistance. The 4000 level also has a lot of psychological components to it.


Despite all of this, I have no interest in attempting to purchase stocks any time soon because, very simply, there are so many factors pushing against their value that I just don't want to take the chance of making money to the upside just now. In fact, I wouldn't be sure that the market's general attitude was shifting until we broke through the 4200 level. Then, things can start to become interesting.

 

Until then, I believe rallies will continue to be sold into, thus you must see it from the lens of providing a chance to short the market whenever it rebounds. The 3700 level, which I believe would be a decent target on the downside, might be of interest. Much if volatility has decreased a little, it's important to remember that the rallies have occurred in low volume circumstances, which is not exactly a bullish indication. Breaking down below that level might start off even more downside.
