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?

Not really bothered whether it is Dead Cat Bounce or True Bottom. Just wait to buy on dips or hold for capital gains & dividends.

A very good question! I m sitting on the fence as DT is going through andropause. His mood swing is worst than women’s menopause. If you are comfortable with the pricing, just go in and grab the stocks. Otherwise, question yourself if you are able to stomach further downfall. Hence when it comes to stocks, there are no right or wrong decision. Instead, it is buy, hold or sell.

I think we have bottomed. Trigger trade war is characteristic of trump. He did that in his first term. His aim is to force negotiations and to get what he wants. He is not keen on a recession and I think he would avoid that. Same goes for China. Trade war would not benefit it either. Both are now trying to get the upper hand in negotiations but negiotiate and compromise they must and they will. The dip in this current cycle is similar to that in trump’s first term and market should have bottomed. However, he promised only a 90 day relief which means that we might see the next dip soon unless all the negotiations are promising by then. If so, the next rebound is coming. Afterall, it is impossible to time the market. It all depends on trum now..

I have been closely watching the market movements recently, and I am leaning toward the idea that we are experiencing a dead cat bounce rather than a true bottom. After a series of declines, the cautious sentiment among investors feels warranted, especially given the broader economic uncertainties. The brief uptick we are seeing now seems more like a temporary reaction in a bear market rather than a sign of a sustained recovery. I think there is still more downside to come, as the underlying issues driving the decline have not been fully resolved. One of the key factors influencing my view is the uncertainty around tariffs. While it is true that Trump has softened his stance on tariffs recently, I am not convinced this will have a significant enough impact to stabilize the market. Tariffs

Dead Cat Bounce vs. True Bottom: Where Are We Now?

After a turbulent period of market declines, investors are treading carefully. Every small rebound is met with skepticism. Many believe the recent uptick is nothing more than a dead cat bounce — a short-lived recovery before another plunge in a prolonged bear market. But others argue that certain macro factors, such as a potential shift in U.S. trade policy, could be signs of stabilization and even recovery. So, where are we now in the cycle — at the edge of a true bottom, or just pausing before more downside? What Is a Dead Cat Bounce, Really? A dead cat bounce is a market term used to describe a temporary rally during an extended downtrend. It's usually driven by short-term optimism, short covering, or bargain-hunting — but often fades as the underlying issues remain unresolved. These bo

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Markets have bounced — but is it the beginning of a true recovery, or just a classic dead cat bounce? That’s the question I’ve been asking myself lately. After a brutal correction, the recent rebound feels hopeful... but also suspicious. One green week doesn’t erase weeks of selling pressure, macro uncertainty, or earnings downgrades. So, how do I tell the difference? Dead Cat Bounce Signs: Sharp short-term rally after a steep fall Driven by short-covering, not fresh inflows Weak volume or leadership concentrated in oversold names No major shift in fundamentals or macro tone True Bottom Clues: Broad market participation — not just a few names bouncing Capitulation already happened — panic selling, high VIX, massive outflows S

US Stocks Have More Downside!!! -40% Ahead?

$Bank of America(BAC)$ $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Invesco S&P 100 Equal Weight ETF(EQWL)$ Bank of America’s Warning: A 40% Market Drop Ahead? On February 16th, Bank of America issued a stark warning to investors: the stock market could experience a 40% decline. At the time, the S&P 500 was trading well above the 6,000-point mark. Since then, we’ve already seen a 20% drop in the index, largely driven by the new tariffs imposed by Donald Trump’s administration. However, Bank of America suggests that the market’s woes could go much deeper than just tariff concerns. According to their analysis, the market is facing a structural issue that resembles the conditions le

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 con

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. We may all wonder: what stage are we? Are we currently in “fear“ stage? Analysts warn that despite that the fear and greed index indicate the sentiment is low, we haven’t seen the capitulation yet. That means the real pain is still ahead.However, some argue that with Trump softening his stance on tariffs, the impact of tariffs on the market may lessen going forward.
