A stock market rally attempted to incur heavy losses on Tuesday, with oil prices skyrocketing and Treasury yields plunging amid signs that Russian attacks could become more deadly for Ukrainian civilians.
Major indicators hit resistance close to the fast-declining 21-day exponential moving averages, one of several potential resistance areas for the market attempt to rally. Tesla stock reversed lower after briefly crossing the 21-day line on Tuesday. an Apple (AAPL), and Nvidia shares were flattened near the 21-day streak. Microsoft (MSFT), which just closed above the 21-day and 200-day lines on Monday, pulled back on Tuesday.
US military officials say the Russian advance in Kyiv has stalled amid stiff Ukrainian resistance and logistical challenges. But the Russian Defense Ministry warned Tuesday that it was planning to strike Ukrainian intelligence and communications facilities in central Kyiv, warning residents in the area not to leave. Western officials say this is a sign that massive Russian strikes on residential areas in Kyiv are imminent.
President Biden addressed Congress and the country on Tuesday evening. Biden discussed the invasion of Ukraine, saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin underestimated the decision of the United States and Europe. He announced that the United States would ban Russian aircraft from its airspace after the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada.
Biden pushed to revive at least parts of better rebuilding legislation, and viewed green energy plans as ways to reduce Russian energy dependence. Republicans argue that Biden should push for more domestic crude and natural gas production.

Fed Chairman Powell
Fed Chairman Powell will testify Before Congress at 10 a.m. ET Wednesday. Powell will likely indicate that a rate hike by the Fed will begin at the March 15-16 policy meeting, but he will emphasize flexibility. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, and subsequent sanctions, led to higher crude oil prices, as well as significant gains for base metals and grains. All of this threatens to drive inflation further, while also exacerbating supply chain problems and slowing economic growth. Meanwhile, workforce participation could increase with COVID cases and restrictions waning rapidly, relieving supply chain concerns and wage inflation.
Given all these big and uncertain cross-currents, Fed Chairman Powell will want to be smart and ready to change course — and make sure financial markets know it.
Markets, which had almost fully priced in a half-point rate hike a few weeks ago, still expected a quarter-point increase at the March meeting. But there is now a small to modest chance of the Fed not moving at the March meeting.
Ahead of the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, policy makers and investors will get the February employment report on Friday and the February CPI on March 10.

Stocks hit 21-day resistance
Just like the market rally, many giant bonds are hitting resistance at the 21-day lines.
Apple’s stock didn’t quite hit the 21-day streak, but reversed from its 10-day average, dropping just over 1% to 163.38. Above the 21-day line there are 50 days. AAPL stock clearing this key level may offer an early entry. but responsible double bottom Buying point is 176.75. The RS line for Apple stock is not far from the highs.
Microsoft stock fell 1.15% to 295.34, down from the 21-day and 200-day streaks. A move above Tuesday’s high of 299.97 could offer a solid entry as a long-term leader. But the 50-day moving average and the February peak at 315.12 are also major obstacles. The official buying point for the MSFT stock is 349.77.
Nvidia’s stock slipped 3.75% to 234.70, to test the 200-day streak again after hitting the 21-day mark on Monday. An entry above the 50-day line and February high at 269.25 is likely to be required to make a strong entry. It’s a long way to reach the peak of 346.47 NVDA shares.

Market Rise Analysis
An attempt to rally the stock market is facing resistance, as the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 indexes canceled a three-day winning streak.
They have held onto most of their recent gains. Pause here is not alarming. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 indices have given up more of their bounce lately, but their attempts to rally are untouched.
The market is still headline-driven. As an investor, you don’t need to follow the headlines too anxiously, but be aware that the news can have major impacts on the market and the sector.
This is especially true now. Lots of assumptions embedded in the markets have been turned upside down. Inflation is at a 40-year high, and Europe is aggressively changing its decades-old defense policies overnight.
Of course, this does not mean that the stock market will go in the direction that seems obvious – that proves the massive rally in the stock market in 2020 amid the pandemic and the collapsed economy.
a Follow-up day It can still happen at any time to confirm a new market rally. The success of a confirmed uptrend cannot be guaranteed, as recent massive market selling has shown, but it is a positive sign.
Away from the 21-day moving average, the major indicators are facing resistance at their February highs as well as the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, with all-time highs well above that. So the next sure rally in the stock market will face a lot of technical hurdles in addition to the major major risks.
