Market Update: Bears Maintain Control as Geopolitical Tension Rises

The broader markets—including the SPY, RSP, DIA, QQQ, and IWM—are all firmly trending lower. If you simply look at the Price Action, the T-Line, and the Trendicator, the technical picture is undeniable: the bears are in complete control of this tape.

The Fear Factor

The VIX isn’t just rising; it’s screaming fear. With Price, the T-Line, and the Trendicator all aligning to lead a strong upward trend in volatility, market participants are clearly on edge.

While it is true that the market is currently oversold, it is vital to remember a core trading principle: oversold is a condition, not a reason to trade. Markets can remain in an oversold state far longer than most traders can remain solvent.

The Fundamental Driver: Iran and Energy

The primary catalyst for this downward pressure remains the high gas prices stemming from the ongoing Iran conflict. As of 6:30 AM on March 26, 2026, there has been no significant shift or de-escalation in the war. Without a change in the geopolitical landscape, I expect continued weakness in the equity markets.
