Why March could ‘make or break’ stock-market sentiment with 2023 rally at crossroads

Waiting for a seasonal low/initial buying opportunity in the S&P 500 and related equities/ETFs
Seasonal influences during the past 20 years on average have bottomed in mid-March. This year, that timeline corresponds closely to the next FOMC meeting announcement on March 22nd when the Fed Fund Rate is expected to increase by at least 25 basis points to 4.75%-5.00% and possibly by 50 basis points to 5.00%-5.25%.
Conclusion: Prepare for an important seasonal entry point to buy U.S. equities/ETFs in the second half of March: Develop a list of U.S. equities/ETFs that have favourable technical and seasonal parameters for a trade lasting at least until summer and possibly to the end of the year. Meanwhile, be patient!
