In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Mar 10, 2026), Samantha LaDuc reviews how her anticipated gap-down Monday in the S&P 500 played out exactly as expected, with the early selloff quickly reversing as traders monetized puts and short covering triggered a sharp bounce.
She explains how the drop in VIX and a weaker U.S. dollar helped support equities and fuel the intraday rally.
The update also touches on volatility driven by geopolitical headlines and energy markets, while emphasizing that the current move in the S&P 500 still looks like a tactical bounce rather than a confirmed new uptrend.
