I think we’re currently in a fragile stage—likely between “fear” and “capitulation.” Sentiment has taken a hit after recent declines, and although indicators like the Fear and Greed Index show fear, we haven’t seen the kind of panic-selling that usually marks a true bottom. The market still seems to be bracing for one more leg down.

That said, I’m not fully convinced this is just a dead cat bounce. If Trump’s softer stance on tariffs holds and a recession is avoided, the downside could be limited. In that scenario, the worst may already be behind us, and the market might gradually recover as confidence returns.

Investors are divided because there’s a real tug-of-war between weak sentiment and improving fundamentals. Personally, I’m cautiously optimistic but staying flexible. It’s not a confirmed bottom yet, but I’m watching closely for signs of stability and leadership.

Dead Cat Bounce vs. True Bottom: Where Are We Now?
After a series of declines, the market has become increasingly cautious about any rebound. Most people believe this is merely a dead cat bounce in a bear market, with further drops likely to come. However, some argue that with Trump softening his stance on tariffs, the impact of tariffs on the market may lessen going forward. If a recession can be avoided, the market's downside potential might be limited. Investors are divided on where we are in the current cycle. What’s your take? Is this a dead cat bounce or have we already hit the bottom?
