U.S. markets continued to witness volatility on Monday as President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44554789/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-could-fuel-inflation-after-16-trillion-fiscal-surge-lawrence-mcdonald-warns">&#8216;Liberation Day&#8217;</a> fast approaches, bringing a volley of tariffs across products, industries, allies, and adversaries. Leading analysts and experts have since urged the President to reconsider his trade policy stance.
What Happened: The market experienced another roller-coaster trading day, with the S&amp;P 500 (INDEXSP: .INX) up 0.6% at close after being down 1.7% in the morning. While this helps shave off some of its losses this quarter, it still marks the worst quarter for the index in two-and-a-half years, losing 4.6%.
The NASDAQ (INDEXNASDAQ: .IXIC) ended 0.1% lower after witnessing wild swings of nearly 3% between the highs and lows of the day, followed by the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX: .DJI) which closed with a 1% gain, after swerving 417 points to erase some initial losses. Both the indices are down for the quarter, with the NASDAQ losing 10.5% and the Dow Industrials 2.3%.
Among individual stocks, Discover Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) and Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) were among top gainers at 7.5% and 4.4%, respectively, while Moderna (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), Grail Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRAL#NASDAQ">GRAL</a>) were among the top laggards, down 9% and 5% during the day, respectively.
Similarly, major index futures were a mixed bag on Monday evening, with Dow Futures up 1%, S&amp;P 500 Futures up 0.55%, and Nasdaq 100 down 0.14%. All of this comes in response to the uncertain global political climate and in anticipation of a messy global trade war that could disrupt all industries.

Why It Matters: Such steep curves have become routine for U.S. markets over the past couple of weeks, and there are no signs of it stopping any time soon, with seemingly no end to the uncertain trade policies of the Trump Administration, filled with false starts and abrupt changes.
Popular market voices such as Jim Cramer, who ironically <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/big-support-for-donald-trump-jim-cramer-shocks-wall-street-with-pro-tariff-stance-slams-free-trade-its-cost-us-fortunes/articleshow/119766832.cms?from=mdr">came out in support of the tariffs last week</a>, saying &#8216;I am pro-tariff, absolutely, I hate free trade,&#8217; is nonetheless, critical of the way the President is approaching this matter, stating that the uncertainty is taking a toll on the markets and investors.

Jim Cramer Asks Trump To Take Stock As Markets Swing Again Ahead Of 'Liberation Day'

Live Nation Entertainment Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) shares turned lower after the market close on Monday following reports that President Donald Trump is preparing to sign an executive order to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44571188/president-trump-plans-to-sign-executive-order-aimed-at-protecting-fans-from-exploitative-ticket-scal">stop ticket scalping</a>.
What Happened: CNBC reported Monday on &#8220;Closing Bell: Overtime&#8221; that Trump is set to sign an executive order targeting price gouging in the live entertainment industry. 
The Trump administration will reportedly direct the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to work with the attorney general to enforce competition laws within the industry. The executive order is expected to direct the FTC to ensure price transparency and to take enforcement action to prevent unfair and deceptive competitive conduct. 
The Trump administration will also ask the Treasury Department to get involved by working with the attorney general to make sure ticket scalpers are abiding by the law.
A report on the initial adjustments is due within 180 days. At that point, the government will determine if any additional legislation is needed. 
President Trump is expected to sign the executive order in the Oval Office at 5:30 p.m. ET. CNBC reported American musician Kid Rock will be in attendance at the signing.
Live Nation is a live entertainment company comprised of Ticketmaster, Live Nation Concerts and Live Nation Media &amp; Sponsorship.

$100 Invested In Live Nation Entertainment 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A fresh wave of selling sent the S&amp;P 500 spiraling into technical correction territory on Thursday, falling 10% from its all-time high, as trade tensions escalated following President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">latest tariff threats.</a>
In a volatile session Thursday, the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – closed at 5,521 points, marking a 10% drop from its Feb. 19 peak of 6,147.
The index now sits 3.8% below its 200-day moving average of 5,738, a level many traders consider a key threshold. 
Only 37% of S&amp;P 500 stocks are trading above this moving average, the lowest proportion since November 2023—a sign of broad-based market weakness.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trade War Jitters Shake Markets</h3>
The sell-off accelerated after Trump took to his Truth Social platform, threatening to impose 200% tariffs on all European alcoholic products in response to the EU's decision to slap a 50% tariff on American whiskey.
Earlier this week, Canada announced 25% retaliatory duties on over $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, while the EU planned to impose counter-tariffs starting in April.
Despite the tariff turmoil, recent inflation data painted a more optimistic picture for the U.S. economy. Both consumer and producer prices have come in below expectations this year, reinforcing hopes that the Federal Reserve&#8217;s disinflation efforts are gaining traction. Markets are pricing in three Fed interest rate cuts this year. 
Yet, markets remain laser-focused on trade policy risks. Investors worry that escalating tariffs could undermine corporate earnings, disrupt supply chains, and reignite inflationary pressures—potentially forcing the Fed to rethink its rate-cut trajectory.

Live Nation Entertainment's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.75% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 13.46 million shares sold short, which is 8.57% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.3 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Live Nation Entertainment has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Live Nation Entertainment's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Live Nation Entertainment's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.72%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Live Nation Entertainment?

Trading in shares of Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) is quiet Wednesday. This follows yesterday's sell-off of 6.5%.
There is a chance the stock will continue to head lower. If it does, there may be some support around $138.45 and this could put a floor underneath it. This is why our technical analysts have made it our Stock of the Day.
As you can see on the chart, there was resistance at this level in December. When the stock headed lower soon after, many traders and analysts who sold thought they made a good decision. But when resistance broke and the price moved higher, some regretted selling.
They decided to buy their shares back if they could at the same price they were sold at. So, if the stock returns to this level these remorseful sellers will be placing buy orders. If there are enough of them, it will form support at the price that had been resistance.

The stock may even rally if the bulls take over. This is what happened on Jan. 13.
In the morning, it looked like the downtrend was going to continue. The stock opened at a lower price than the previous day's close.
But by the end of the day, the bulls overpowered the bears and took over. The closing price ended up being higher than the prior day's opening price. The trading &#8220;engulfed&#8221; the prior day's range.
This appears as a bullish engulfing pattern on the chart. It is a graphical illustration of the change in leadership from bears to bulls.
The recent downtrend began after a bearish engulfing pattern formed.
On Feb. 21 it looked like the uptrend was going to continue. The stock opened at a higher price than the previous day's close.
But by the end of the day, the bears overpowered the bulls and pushed the price lower. It ended up closing below the prior open. The trading range &#8220;engulfed&#8221; the range of the previous day.
Sometimes the change in leadership of a market takes place over an extended period of time. But sometimes it can happen in a single day. If so, an &#8220;engulfing&#8221; pattern may form on the chart.
