Practically during every severe market correction or a crash over the last 30 years, we've had days like Friday where markets come back with a vengeance.
What makes this trading pattern, or heavy sell offs and sharp snap backs, especially ominous is that the sell off didn't have a definite trigger, unlike the April liberation day sell off, which was triggered by Trump and halted by his walk back. The Anthropic Claude update, which has been referenced as the trigger, was more of a redherring in my opinion. As such, I believe this sell off to have a more profound driver that will only become evident in hindsight.
Consequently, if you are trading on margin, trading options, or looking to buy bargins, I would be overly cautious as I believe this downturn is yet to play out.
