Credit markets. Stocks. Gold. Volatility. I’ve written about them all – and what market messages they’ve been communicating – so far in 2025.
The ongoing story during this downdraft is that the stock market is just not seeing bidders as prices cascade lower. On Monday, the S&P 500 (SPX) fell 2.7% and the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100 were off about 4%. The “500” slid through the 50% retracement and chart support in the 5,650 region like it wasn't even there, notes John Eade, president of Argus Research.
Stocks have been cruising since October 2023. But trading is getting choppier as macro risks pile up. Every week seems fraught with fresh tape bombs. Before you decide to hit the exits, consider three things about uncertain times and rising volatility, writes Alec Young, contributor at MAPsignals.

Traders and Investors have so many questions right now about the coming months and quarters. A big theme on a conference call I just hosted was the massive rotation that we're seeing underneath the surface, highlights JC Parets, founder of AllStarCharts.
Now that a pullback in US stock markets has begun, where will it end? The answer can be found by examining the current market trend in different time frames, writes Ian Murphy, founder of Murphy Trading. We already know the daily chart of the S&P 500 is heading south from our Composite Indicator and help strategy positions as discussed recently. So, let’s take a step back and look at the weekly chart.
Gold edged higher at the start of this week’s trading after finishing lower on Friday, likely due to some profit-taking. Despite Friday’s weaker close, it still managed to notch an eighth consecutive weekly gain. But a shift in sentiment can trigger a sharp sell-off, and even gold is not immune, advises Fawad Razaqzada, technical analyst at Trading Candles.
Last Wednesday’s note highlighted the new all-time high on the S&P500. But as ever, a deeper look under the surface can reveal a different picture. We just had an important divergence, writes Ian Murphy, founder of Murphy Trading.
You know what indicator I watch like a hawk? Credit spreads! There’s a very simple reason: Problems in the credit market usually PRECEDE problems in the equity market.
The S&P 500 just hit an all-time high. Gold just hit (another) all-time high. Stock market selloffs driven by DeepSeek news, fresh Trump Administration tariffs, and other “tape bombs” aren’t lasting long.
