Strategists believe that the stock market's slide can only be halted if bank stocks start performing well. Bank stocks have been lagging behind the S&P 500 this year, despite recovering from their lows in May. The S&P Bank Index ETF and the S&P Regional Bank Index ETF have both experienced significant declines year to date.

The upcoming earnings season, starting with JPMorgan Chase, will set the tone for the performance of bank stocks.
