NDX, SPX Hit New All-time Closing High...RUT, DJI Closed Higher...Breadth Strengthened...Stronger than Expected Jobs Report...

Our iBullyBear Mentoring account once again hit a new all-time Net Liq high today.  If you are not employing a systematic approach to decision-making in the face of uncertainty and you want to improve your skills contact us through the iBullyBear link above.


SPX +61.82, 7,398, opened and closed higher at a new all-time high, after semiconductor stocks rallied after a pause pullback day on Thursday and a stronger than expected Jobs Report before the open. Breadth strengthened as advancers led on both the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges.

On March 29, 2026 I became very curious about Iran and what motivated their thinking because of the language their government was using.  To me it sounded non-conciliatory.  So I did some research and in our iBullyBear mentoring March 30 session we discussed those findings extensively.  The reason was to better understand the intra-day price fluctuations that might occur from the Middle East and if those fluctuations exhibited temporary dynamics or not.

Recently the media narrative has indicated that some of the positive price movement might be driven by some investors hoping for an end to the Middle East conflict.  I expressed the view this week and as recently as today that it seemed improbable that an end to the conflict was insight.  I was not surprised to see a Reuter headline “US, Iran no closer to ending war…”.  Here is a link to one of several articles since Friday:
