Find out what’s driving the market, from the top tech gainers to the latest deals in Congressional stocks.
The Fear and Greed Index just hit 26 (Extreme Fear) ahead of today’s crucial CPI Inflation Report. See what is moving the market, from massive tech gainers to the latest Congress stock trades.
The stock market is holding its breath. As we head into today’s highly anticipated March 11, 2026, Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation report, retail and institutional investors alike are showing serious signs of hesitation.
According to the VozToro Fear and Greed Index, market sentiment has plunged into Extreme Fear, currently sitting at a score of 26. With the S&P 500 down 1.33% and the NASDAQ taking a 1.59% hit, volatility is spiking. But beneath the surface-level fear, there are massive opportunities and aggressive stock movements happening right now.
Here is a breakdown of what is driving the market today and where the smart money is moving.
1. The Macro Catalyst: March 2026 CPI Report All eyes are on the 8:30 AM Eastern Time CPI release. Currently, inflation sits at 2.7%, and the market is desperate for data that supports a continued dovish stance from the Federal Reserve.
With the next Fed Meeting coming up fast on March 17-18, today’s inflation print will dictate whether interest rates stay at 6.75% or if we see another shift. The “Extreme Fear” sentiment indicates that investors are hedging their bets, fearing a hotter-than-expected inflation reading that could trigger a broader tech sell-off.
2. Tech Movers: Who is Defying the Market Drop? Even in a sea of red, specific sectors are experiencing massive breakouts. While heavyweights like NVIDIA (NVDA) are seeing slight pullbacks (down 2.94%), other tech and healthcare plays are surging:
Hims & Hers Health (HIMS): Exploding with a +40.95% gain.
Day One Biopharmaceuticals (DAWN): Leading the top gainers list, up an incredible +65.88%.
Marvell Technology (MRVL): Showing strong resilience in the semiconductor space, surging +18.35% despite broader market weakness.
