KrystalW : I wonder if the banking industry will recover from the crisis in the next week.
Milk The Cow : Too much print for the bank bail out.
Welp, it may not increase back so fast...
It may continue fall if another bank went bankrupt/close shop is added to the list... (All may panic, "oh no oh no, will this be next one". It's contagious .)
Milk The Cow :
ZnWC : High PCA banks restructuring
The short answer will be yes, banking sector will keep falling especially for those with high (PCA) percent cumulative assets. Higher PCA is higher risk because asset is held by small group of customers. We are expecting bank restructuring in term of loan and reserve soon and more takingvover or mergering will be seen.
Note: Banks on the left of SVB are safe while those on the right may face restructuring.
Rally in BTC
We may have avoided a financial crisis but not out of the water as inflation is still high = FED will continue to raise interest rate. Strangely market sentiment view the bank sector falling as currency falling (or FED starts printing money) and started a rally in cryptocurrency such as BTC and ETH. Personally I don't think the rally is sustainable and the pump and dump will come when confidence is restored in the bank sector.
Interest rate pivoting
The SVB collapsed did one good thing that is FED is not going to raise interest rate aggressively. Based on the latest FED data, interest rate may pivot in Q1 next year (or earlier). This is based on the assumption that inflation will fall in H2.
Moving forward
There are too many uncertainties such as Ukraine-Russia War escalates, US-China trade war deteriorates , Oil prices surge and Disease Outbreak (e.g. bird flu) may disrupt the timeline. We need some good news (and FED is not giving one). I'm looking forward for Tesla's delivery report in early April and analysing how China fiscal policy affect global economy and stock market.
How to move forward while Bank Sectors keep falling ...

cola1010 : Bank stocks plummeted during the banking crisis, with the majority of bank suffering significant losses, including regional bank stocks. People are concerned about banks losing money on investments and customers withdrawing funds. Investors' overall sentiment has been one of uncertainty, resulting in a sharp decline in the value of bank stocks. Despite the fact that the banking sector is expected to continue to fall, I see this as an opportunity to invest and have faith in Bank of America. Let's keep an eye on it!
GodSpeed289 : Expect banking stocks to fall as even the global banking sector has been rocked. The rescue of Credit Suisse has ignited broader worries about investors’ exposure to a fragile banking sector. They are still fretted that regulators and central banks have yet to contain the worst shock to the sector since the 2008 global financial crisis. Unsurprisingly, the market is reacting strongly that there are more problems out there that have come forth. Investors are staying sideline as they expect it will take time, likely weeks without any problems in the banking system before markets will be convinced that it’s not a systemic problem.
