📊 WyckoffSMI “Daily Pulse of the Market” March 16, 2026.
🧭 Market Overview
The major indexes attempted to stabilize today as SPY and QQQ bounced modestly from recent weakness, but the broader structure still reflects a market struggling with supply near resistance levels.
SPY remains inside a defined trading range after earlier UTAD / TOU activity near the highs, followed by Sign of Weakness and Follow-Through (FTI). Today’s rally appears to be demand responding to a shakeout, but the market still needs stronger expansion of demand to confirm a new advance.
The QQQ continues to display similar behavior, trading within a broad consolidation after multiple rallies encountered supply near the upper boundary of the range. For now the market appears to be working through a redistribution or rebalancing process where supply and demand are still competing for control.
📈 Wyckoff Indicator Readings
Current WyckoffSMI indicators reflect a mixed but stabilizing environment:
• Optimism–Pessimism Index: stabilizing
• Wyckoff Force: subdued institutional demand
• Technometer: neutral (neither overbought nor oversold)
Together these readings suggest the market may continue to fluctuate within its range until stronger institutional demand returns.
