3-26-26 Markets Breakdown or Bounce? | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets are testing the 200-DMA from below, a key resistance level. Failure to break above could increase downside pressure, but end-of-quarter rebalancing (~$62B in buying) may provide near-term support. Momentum is oversold, with relative strength starting to improve. A confirmed buy signal and positive divergence could drive a move toward 6,700, with resistance at the 20-DMA. Stay patient—markets can remain oversold, but improving technicals suggest potential for a recovery into early summer.

3-25-26 Markets Poised for Oversold Bounce | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets enter the pre-market deeply oversold, with sentiment turning increasingly negative—conditions that often lead to a short-term reflex rally. Investors are looking for a catalyst, and even minor geopolitical headlines could spark buying pressure. Key technical levels are in focus today, including the 200-day moving average and a major resistance zone between 6,700 and 6,800, where the 20-, 50-, and 100-day moving averages converge. This area is packed with trapped longs and heavy volume, suggesting any rally into this range could face selling pressure. Volume has been declining,...

3-24-26 Markets Stall - Why We're Raising Cash | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets opened Monday above the 200-day moving average but failed to hold — and that failure matters. We break down why we're reducing market exposure by raising cash, what the cluster of trapped longs means for any rally attempt, and why the 20-, 50-, and 100-DMA are all stacking up as overhead resistance. This is not a crash call. It is a disciplined risk management move while the market works through a technically compromised structure. Until price reclaims the 200-DMA on a sustained basis, we are advising caution. Watch to understand the full picture before the opening bell. Key topics...

3-23-26 200-DMA Broken – Bear Market or Buy Signal?
The Real Investment Show Podcast
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. The data gap is stark: average 12-month return after a sustained break is -4.0%, versus +19.8% after a brief one. We walk...

3-20-26 Tax Strategies That Actually Save You Money
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Most people think about taxes once a year. Smart investors think about them every year.

We also cover Roth conversion timing, IRMAA bracket management, tax-efficient...
info_outlineMarkets bounced sharply after the Federal Reserve cut rates by a quarter-point, pushing major indexes back toward all-time highs. As of Wednesday’s close, buy signals remain in place, but relative strength is stretched, and a mild pullback is taking shape this morning—led by weakness in the NASDAQ following Oracle’s selloff. With all major indexes still within 2% of record levels, investors should remember that when the Fed cuts near market highs, volatility typically rises over the next one to three months.
Historically, this pattern produces short-term corrections but tends to resolve with higher prices over the next 10–12 months. Markets remain in a broader consolidation range, and a normal retracement toward the 50-DMA between now and Christmas would set the stage for a stronger year-end rally. Based on current trends, 2025 looks likely to close with gains near 17%—and we are preparing updated valuation and price-target ranges for 2026 in an upcoming article.
In today’s pre-market brief, we break down:
• Why NASDAQ weakness is no surprise
• How Fed policy and “QE/Not-QE” shape volatility expectations
• What to expect from a consolidation into year-end
• Key levels to watch into the seasonal rally window
