The Nasdaq has a weak seasonal time of the year into the middle of March over the last 25 years. Despite having a winning seasonal outlook form a percentage point of view – the average decline is nearly 1.5% from Jan 18th through to March 13.

The major trade risk here is that Fedโs Waller said that the timing and number of rate cuts would ultimately come down to the incoming US Data, so the rate path is highly uncertain right now.
Remember donโt just trade it, Seasonax it!
