# Bear market in US stocks?

$NASDAQ Composite Index(.IXIC.US)$NVIDIA(NVDA.US) $Tesla(TSLA.US) $Apple(AAPL.US) $Proshares UltraPro QQQ(TQQQ.US)

The U.S. stock market has been rising for several consecutive years, and many believe it's in a perpetual bull run, consistently investing through dollar-cost averaging. Recently, Trump's tariff maneuvers have brought down the Nasdaq's price.

First, everyone should be aware of the recent sharp drop. Let's study this vertical crash pattern.

When a vertical crash occurs, everyone knows the market is about to fall. Investors with stop-loss awareness will cut losses at different levels—some at point A, some at point B, and some at the deepest point C.

A steep drop will inevitably lead to a rebound, and the market will form a deep V-shape. Gradually, U.S. stock investors will come to see Nasdaq's plunge as an opportunity rather than a risk.

If everyone thinks this way, the next move might be a slight dip after the deep V. Since there's an expectation of another rise, no one will panic. Having survived a vertical crash, who would be scared by such minor adjustments? Thus, the market keeps feeding you reversal expectations (as shown by the green arrows).

Trump is a ticking time bomb—no need for BS analysis. Maybe a single tweet will flip everything 🤣
