Ivy Portfolio ETFs and S&P 500 signal shift to cash positions in March 2026 amid market downturn.

In March 2026, the Ivy Portfolio ETFs showed a shift with two of five funds (VTI and VNQ) moving below their 10-month moving averages, signaling a move to cash, while the S&P 500 also closed below its 10-month and 10-month exponential moving averages for the first time in 11 months. The 12-month moving averages remain above their thresholds, keeping a longer-term invest signal, but momentum is weakening with several funds close to reversal points. This highlights growing market caution and the usefulness of moving average strategies to manage risk during downturns. Investors should monitor these signals for potential trend reversals and consider moving average strategies for risk management.
