Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) shares are down 2.6% to $40.33 in Monday&#8217;s session and have fallen 10% over the past five sessions. The decline comes as U.S. stock futures drop amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44216011/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-after-trump-hints-at-looming-recession-expert-says-cant-rule-out-a-bear-market-as-indices-inch-towards-correction-territory">growing recession fears</a> and rising trade tensions between the United States and China. The stock may also be moving down after the company announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44211409/bank-of-america-sounds-alarm-on-massive-data-breach-millions-could-be-affected-is-your-account-safe">alerted customers</a> of a data breach.
The financial sector, which has been under pressure from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UTEN">rising Treasury yields</a> and investor uncertainty, saw significant losses, with Bank of America among the hardest hit.
What To Know: The selloff comes amid remarks from former President Donald Trump, who on Sunday acknowledged the possibility of a recession in 2024 while maintaining confidence in the long-term economic outlook.

Bank of America, one of the largest financial institutions in the U.S., is particularly sensitive to economic fluctuations due to its vast exposure to consumer banking, lending and investment services. 
Rising Treasury yields, with the 10-year yield standing at 4.24% and the two-year yield at 3.94%, put pressure on the bank's fixed-income investments, potentially squeezing profit margins. 
What Else: Additionally, the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44189725/unemployment-rate-ticks-higher-in-february-us-economy-adds-fewer-jobs-than-expected">mixed economic data</a>—including a weaker-than-expected jobs report and a surprise rise in the unemployment rate to 4.1%—added to concerns about slowing economic growth and its repercussions for financial institutions.
Compounding the negative sentiment, China's recent decision to impose <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44217379/china-hits-soybeans-with-tariffs-its-largest-us-import-along-with-other-agri-products-here-a-list-of-stocks-and-etfs-that-could-be-impacted">retaliatory tariffs</a> on U.S. agricultural goods, including soybeans, added another layer of uncertainty. 
Bank of America, like other major banks, has exposure to global markets and trade activity, and any prolonged trade tensions could further dampen economic growth, impacting corporate borrowing and investment banking revenues.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BAC Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>)'s case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, BAC has a 52-week high of $48.08 and a 52-week low of $34.15.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Mastercard

After eight years and more than half a billion dollars, Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) founder Larry Ellison&#8216;s ambitious attempt to revolutionize agriculture with cutting-edge technology has yielded little more than lettuce and cherry tomatoes. 
Sensei Ag, the farming venture Ellison co-founded with celebrity doctor David Agus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/42255404/dole-fruit-founder-sells-the-last-of-his-lanai-property-to-oracles-larry-ellison">on the Hawaiian island of Lanai</a>, was envisioned as a technological marvel that would transform global food production using AI, robotics and advanced sensors, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/larry-ellison-hawaii-greenhouse-farm-food-2d260e1f">The Wall Street Journal</a>.&nbsp;
Instead, it has been plagued by basic operational challenges.

<li>BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates. </a></li>
</ul>
The project has cost Ellison more than the $300 million he paid in 2012 to acquire 98% of Lanai itself, the WSJ said. The 80-year-old billionaire has told executives he sees the agricultural venture as part of his legacy. 
The company built six greenhouses on a remote stretch of the island, commissioning an Israeli firm to construct facilities initially budgeted at $12 million. Those costs ballooned to around $50 million due to design flaws and environmental challenges, according to the report. 
The greenhouses proved ill-suited for Lanai&#8217;s climate, with powerful winds repeatedly blowing off roofs. Solar panels frequently failed, forcing reliance on diesel generators. Poor Wi-Fi prevented sensors from properly monitoring crops, and inadequate ventilation systems required supplemental floor fans.

Sensei expanded beyond Hawaii by acquiring greenhouse facilities in Canada totaling nearly 3 million square feet, which required extensive retrofitting at a cost of approximately $200 million. According to the Journal, the operations currently utilize just 5% of their capacity due to a saturated market. 
The company&#8217;s technology development has been led by Danny Hillis, a renowned computer networking pioneer who lacks commercial agricultural experience. After cycling through several executives, Ellison and Agus appointed software engineer Dave Douglas in 2023 to run the company remotely from Massachusetts. 
&#8220;The vision was so big. And then it just slowly got whittled away as we faced up to realities of implementing on Lanai,&#8221; said En Young, a former general manager of the Lanai facility. 
Since late 2022, Sensei has pivoted toward developing software and technology for indoor farming. The company now aims to create a package of software and hardware that other farms could license.

The Journal reported Sensei has achieved some modest successes, becoming one of Hawaii&#8217;s largest producers of baby lettuce and cherry tomatoes with nearly a third of the market. Its Ontario operation has given the company distribution channels to supermarket chains on the <a href="https://www.senseifarms.com/store-locator">East Coast of the U.S.</a> and Canada. 
Sensei Marketing Director Jonathan Lee told the Journal that the company is &#8220;currently in stealth mode&#8221; and plans to share details of its technology publicly in about 18 months. The timeline for delivering a prototype has been extended to mid-2026. 
Meanwhile, Ellison has reportedly been pushing for Sensei to reduce losses by cutting expenses and discontinuing lower-revenue products such as peppers and cucumbers. 
While Sensei has fallen short of its original mission to &#8220;feed the world,&#8221; Agus maintains that the company is still working to perfect its technology. &#8220;We have an island that we can&#8217;t grow things on, that we need food for. Let&#8217;s do it. But at the same time let&#8217;s change agriculture,&#8221; he said of their initial vision, according to the Journal.

<a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5e970678-71d0-4cb6-9011-2f2ab5f7ceac_1024x608.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>When companies withdraw guidance, you know uncertainty is high.
The word "uncertainty" gets thrown around a lot in discussions about the stock market.
And it's not surprising. There is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/always-risks-uncertainty-in-stock-market">literally always</a>&nbsp;something to be uncertain about. In fact, uncertainty defines the risk stock market investors take as they bet on a future that isn't guaranteed. Uncertainty gives risk-tolerant investors the opportunity to buy stocks at a discount. Uncertainty is why the returns in the stock market tend to be relatively high.
But far too often, pundits will appear on TV or get quoted in a news article casually saying that "uncertainty is elevated" — when in fact uncertainty may be at normal levels. Because there is always uncertainty, and any implication that there can be periods with no uncertainty is ridiculous.
Of course, there are times when uncertainty explodes above typical levels. And they come with some very glaring signs.
When companies everywhere withdraw guidance &#x1f9d1;&#x1f3fb;&#x200d;&#x1f9af;&#x200D;&#x27a1;&#xFE0F;
Five years ago this week, the World Health Organization&nbsp;<a href="https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---11-march-2020">declared</a>&nbsp;that COVID-19 as a pandemic.
In the weeks prior, there had already been concerns about the seriousness of the outbreak. But it wasn't until mid-March that we began to see huge parts of the economy get shut down in the effort to contain the spread of the virus. And it would be months before we got a sense of what this unprecedented disruption would mean for the economy.
Businesses around the world were not prepared.
Most companies operate assuming a range of probable future outcomes. And for many publicly traded companies, the midpoint of that range is presented to investors in the form of quarterly and annual financial guidance. As the quarter and year proceeds, companies will sometimes raise guidance. Sometimes they'll lower guidance.
Things have to get really bad for companies to withdraw or suspend guidance.
That's exactly&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/corporations-suspend-withdraw-earnings-guidance-analysts-strategists-blind-134417231.html">what a flood of companies did</a>&nbsp;in early 2020 as they had little to no visibility into what business would look like in the near term.
<a href="https://x.com/SamRo/status/1249814452649803777">According to BofA</a>, 71 S&amp;P 500 companies withdrew guidance from March 2 to April 7 that year.
Zooming out a bit, 173 Russell 3000 companies withdrew guidance during the first quarter,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spglobal.com/content/dam/spglobal/mi/en/documents/general/QR-Brief-Cold-Turkey-Navigating-Guidance-Withdrawal-with-Supply-Chain_Data.pdf">according to S&amp;P Global</a>. The chart below shows how unusual that was.
<a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c40d76f-4f39-4cd7-82cd-a980aae76630_1474x1142.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>

In Q1 2020, 173 Russell 3000 companies withdrew guidance. (Source:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spglobal.com/content/dam/spglobal/mi/en/documents/general/QR-Brief-Cold-Turkey-Navigating-Guidance-Withdrawal-with-Supply-Chain_Data.pdf">S&amp;P Global</a>)
"The question for managers is: Do they know about future performance substantially more than investors do?" NYU Professor Baruch Lev&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wall-st-economists-analysts-guess-forecasts-morning-brief-102219423.html">told me at the time</a>. "My guess is that in most cases managers aren't now better informed than investors. We are all in the dark. In that case, guidance is futile."
It's one thing for a company to revise guidance lower. It's another much scarier thing for a company to admit they just don't know where things are headed.
That's real uncertainty.
This speaks to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/42137695/the-most-destabilizing-risks-are-the-ones-people-arent-talking-about">TKer Stock Market Truth No. 8</a>: "The most destabilizing risks are the ones people aren't talking about."
Pandemic risk was effectively on no one's radar going into 2020. Companies didn't have plans for addressing it, and it wasn't priced into the market. It's why the S&amp;P 500 was able to rally to its then record high of 3,393 on February 19 before tumbling 35% to its low of 2,191 on March 23.
Tariffs: Bad, but it could be worse &#x1f52d;
Most informed folks agree raising tariffs is a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/wall-street-agrees-tariffs-are-bad">net negative for the economy</a>, so an uptick in uncertainty is warranted.
And lot of companies have said that the effect of tariffs&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/156333109/tariffs-are-not-factored-into-earnings-guidance">haven't been factored into their earnings guidance</a>. Maybe we'll soon hear about companies revising their guidance lower.
But will companies start withdrawing guidance in droves? I'm not convinced they will.
The threat of tariffs has been out there&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/wall-street-agrees-tariffs-are-bad">for months</a>. And for months, many companies have&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/companies-react-to-tariffs">announced plans for addressing</a>&nbsp;new tariffs, including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/sales-pull-forward-frontrunning-tariffs">stockpiling goods</a>&nbsp;ahead of tariffs and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/companies-pass-on-costs-tariffs-to-end-consumer">raising prices</a>&nbsp;once tariffs are imposed.
It would've been much worse if President Trump had announced the imposition of tariffs with no warning.
To be clear, tariffs and global pandemics are two very different things. But both are similar in that they come with supply chain disruptions and higher costs of goods. And the more advanced notice companies have, the more time they have to prepare operations for the risk.
This is not to say we won't experience market volatility in the coming months. The S&amp;P 500 experiences an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/stock-market-down-days-drawdowns-down-years-normal">average annual max drawdown of 14%</a>.
But I think we should&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/dangerous-to-underestimate-corporate-america">be careful about underestimating</a>&nbsp;the resilience of Corporate America, especially when they've had time to prepare for what may be coming.

When Uncertainty Becomes Unambiguously High

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coinbase Global: A Bearish Trend, But Signs Of Life?</h2>
Coinbase stock slipped over 10.5% during early trading (by 10:30 AM) on Monday, weighed down by Bitcoin's slump and a disappointing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44195822/what-will-trump-say-at-white-house-crypto-summit-bets-favor-ai-xrp-solana">White House Crypto Summit</a>.

Technically, Coinbase stock is flashing bearish signals across multiple time frames. The stock is trading below its eight-day ($211.20), 20-day ($237.59), 50-day ($260.90) and 200-day ($235.75) simple moving averages, indicating downward pressure. Bearish momentum prevails over the stock.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Robinhood Markets: A Pullback Or A Setup?</h2>
Robinhood stock faced the steepest drop, sliding over 13% in morning trade. Despite this, retail traders remain bullish, seeing the dip as a potential buying opportunity.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="485" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10105649/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.30-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-816960" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10105649/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.30-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10105649/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.30-PM-300x232.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

The technicals, however, paint a cautious picture. HOOD stock is below its eight, 20 and 50-day moving averages, reinforcing a bearish trend. 
Yet, its 200-day moving average at $31.14 is far below HOOD stock trading at $38.23, signaling that longer-term momentum remains intact.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marathon Digital: Strongly Bearish</h2>
Bitcoin mining giant Marathon Digital Holdings&#8217; MARA stock also took a hit, down over 12% in early trading. Trading sentiment around the stock among retail traders echoes in the technicals.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="485" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110338/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.22-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-816976" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110338/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.22-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110338/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.22-PM-300x232.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
From a technical standpoint, MARA stock is extremely bearish. The stock is trading below its eight-day ($14.37), 20-day ($14.95), 50-day ($17.05) and 200-day ($18.79) moving averages—all bearish signals—signaling short and long-term bearish pressure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Riot Platforms: The Struggle Continues</h2>
RIOT stock declined more than 6%, extending a rough year-to-date performance. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="485" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110726/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.40-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-816985" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110726/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.40-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110726/Screenshot-2025-03-10-at-8.22.40-PM-300x232.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
With the stock trading well below key moving averages—eight-day ($8.69), 20-day ($10.28), 50-day ($11.30), and 200-day ($10.15)—the trend remains firmly bearish. However, some traders see the steep declines as an eventual buying opportunity if Bitcoin stabilizes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buy-The-Dip Or Caution?</h2>
Crypto stocks are moving in lockstep with Bitcoin, and with BTC's recent weakness, traders are treading carefully. While long-term technicals remain bullish for HOOD stock, the broader trend remains bearish across the sector.
For investors eyeing an entry, the key question is whether Bitcoin stabilizes or continues its descent. 
If BTC finds support, crypto-linked stocks could stage a rebound. If not, the pain may not be over just yet.
