The Nasdaq Composite is facing a potential historic decline, with a current drop of over 5% that could mark the fourth instance in its history of back-to-back 5% declines, joining notable declines from 1987, 2001, and 2008. The S&P 500 has also experienced a significant downturn, falling 10.3% over two days, a performance that could add it to a list of only six other instances since 1929. This recent market behavior mirrors patterns observed during major financial crises, including the October 1987 market crash and the 2008 global financial crisis. Analysts have noted that the S&P 500's current trajectory, with a weekly loss of 7%, is reminiscent of past market downturns, including those during the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The current market conditions have raised concerns among investors about the potential for further declines as the market continues to react to economic pressures.
