This selloff looks more like a volatility reset than a structural bear market, but the bottom may not be in yet. Early March is historically weak for the S&P 500, with stronger performance usually appearing after mid-March. The spike in the CBOE Volatility Index suggests hedging and forced de-risking rather than full capitulation. Geopolitical tension, higher oil prices, and stretched AI-driven valuations are all contributing to the pullback. Key level to watch is S&P 500 around 6800. If that holds, this likely becomes a healthy correction inside a broader bull cycle. A break below could trigger a deeper reset toward the 6500 zone. My view: not yet the perfect “golden dip,” but a potential setup forming into the second half of March if volatility cools and macro risks stabilise.
