Staring At The Sunset
Markets are sending some of the strongest bearish signals we’ve seen in a long time, and in this weekend review for the week ending March 13, 2026, we break down exactly what traders need to know. We walk through the major indexes, credit markets, and volatility indicators to understand why everything is lining up on the downside right now. From weekly squeeze signals on the indexes to weakness in HYG and a potentially explosive setup in the VIX, the data suggests traders should be prepared for increased volatility ahead. We’ll also cover a few targeted opportunities that still look strong in the energy sector, plus the QQQ put debit spread trade setup I’m watching if the bearish scenario continues to play out.
