Bearish Outlook Amid Yield Surge & Metal Slide
- QQQ is leading the recent weakness, having broken below its consolidation lows at 591 and now trading near November 2025 lows (~585), signaling potential short-term exhaustion but no capitulation signal yet.
- Rising Treasury yields (TNX at 4.39% on 3/20, up from ~4.15% earlier in the week) are pressuring risk assets and metals, with VIX spiking from 24.06 to 26.78 over three sessions.
- Precious and base metals are under heavy pressure: Gold/Silver tumbling, Copper potentially targeting $4.80–5.10, reflecting real rate concerns and inflation fears amid geopolitical energy tensions.
- Early March 2026 selloff extended into last two sessions, with SPX/QQQ closing near November 2025 lows—technical targets being tested, but no confirmed reversal; divergence between spot and futures suggests possible near-term stabilization.
- Key resistance: 4.45–4.55% for TNX; support near SPX 6521–6550 (though not a reversal signal).
