And on Wednesday, the index fell another 0.2%.

The major indices are struggling to hang onto gains as investors eye the strengthening dollar and the Federal Reserve's coming rate hikes.

In an afternoon email from the New York Stock Exchange floor, veteran trader Rich Barry wrote that this volatile March has some traders thinking optimistically:

Nice, right? Especially since the remainder of 2014 was mostly UP... Keeping it positive down here folks..."
