Stocks Cautious as War Rages On

4 Mar 2022

Stocks have been feeling out the 4300's and low 4400's. We made a brief attempt to test 4400, which was quickly thwarted by 4408. It seems that the war between Russia and Ukraine is still instilling market participants with trepidation, especially after Russian forces attacked a nuclear power plant in Ukraine. The S&P 500 has since rejected highs and tested lows of the value area at 4272. From here we could test highs again, but will have to break 4408 in order to consider our next profit target at 4440. From below, if we break 4272, then 4122 remains our anticipated floor, but we will likely see support at 4230 first.
