+3.34%
single-day change vs previous close
Part of a longer stretch
The 2021–22 tech bear market
midway through · 2021-11-19 → 2022-12-28, -36.40% over the whole period
What happened that day?
- On 24 June 2022 the Nasdaq rose 3.34%
- The bounce that began at the mid-June low gathered strength here and ran into mid-August
- That summer rally leaned on the belief that inflation had peaked and the Fed would soon stop
- Bounces like this appear repeatedly inside bear markets. They are larger, not smaller, in a downtrend
- The reason is that the sellers are already out. Buying back alone moves the price a long way
- This one ended with a single speech by the Fed chair in late August
- In this stretch the index was 29.4% below its peak
