| On Tuesday, we saw the market’s first reaction to the potential next Fed chair, as Kevin Warsh’s comments introduced a mix of signals. His commitment to balance sheet reduction pointed to tighter liquidity, pressuring equities, while a shift toward alternative inflation measures could open the door for earlier rate cuts. That push and pull explains the choppy action after an extended rally. This wasn’t a breakdown—it was the market showing what its reaction could be to a policy shift and the uncertainty around a new Fed era.

3-23-26 200-DMA Broken – Bear Market or Buy Signal?
2026-03-23
The S&P 500 just broke its 200-day moving average. Is this a bear market signal or a historic buying opportunity? The answer depends on a clear set of warning indicators – and right now, only two of six are flashing red.
Lance Roberts comments in real-time as news of a delay in miliary strikes on Iran power stations affects pre-market action.
Lance also breaks down every 200-DMA break since 2000, separating the seven sustained crashes from the five whipsaw recoveries.

Years of excess capital and competition also created a bubble, with weaker underwriting and mispriced risk, just like 2008 but in a different space.
What looked like a safe, high-yield alternative is revealing its trade-off: you can’t have strong returns, low volatility, and liquidity at the same time.
