In early April 2025, financial commentator Jim Cramer issued a warning about a potential market crash reminiscent of the 1987 Black Monday event. This cautionary forecast came at a time when the S&P 500 had declined by 12% as of April 8, causing widespread investor concern. Contrary to Cramer's prediction, the market rebounded sharply in the following weeks. Since April 4, the S&P 500 has risen by more than 16%, with the Nasdaq increasing by 24% since the market bottom. Analysts noted that the best and worst market days often occur in close succession, highlighting the volatility during this period. Investors who sold their holdings in response to the crash warning missed out on some of the strongest one-month gains in recent history.
