March was an ugly month for stocks, with the S&P 500 (SPX) dropping 6%, the S&P 100 giving back 6.6%, the Nasdaq falling over 8%, the Nasdaq 100 declining 7.4%, the S&P 400 dipping 5.5%, and the S&P 600 losing 6.4%. The overall losses in the major indices were close to each other, but that was not the case at the sector level. Both Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology wilted over 8%, Communication Services faded 5%, Financial dropped 4%, and Materials and Industrials fell 3%. Energy led, rising 3.6%, and Utilities eked out a 0.3% gain. The number of SPX issues that fell at least 8% was an incredible 136. On the flip side, only 27 stocks in the index rose at least 8%. Fortunately, at least in the short term, the indices had a very good last day of March -- and it couldn't have come at a better time. During the first 20 minutes of the session, the big three indices gapped lower and all fell to minor intraday corrective lows under their earlier March lows. From there, it was a steady march higher, with the SPX closing 2.2% above its low. While many will say we are already tracing out a double bottom, that bullish reversal formation will not be confirmed until the index closes above the recent high at 5,777. There remains a cluster of resistance for the SPX between 5,750 and 5,825. It includes the slightly rising 200-day average at 5,760; a 38% and 50% retracement of the decline; and the closing and intraday breakdown levels from January 12 and 13. The falling 21-week exponential moving average is at 5,815 and a 61.8% retracement, as well as the declining 50-day average, are up near 5,890. (Mark Arbeter, CMT)
