The Nasdaq 100 index has entered correction territory, declining 12% over the past three weeks, marking the strongest selling pressure on record. The index, which has fallen below its 200-day moving average for the first time since 2022, is now down 10.7% year-to-date. The drop has prompted concerns about a potential bear market, as the Fear and Greed indicator has reached its most bearish level on record. This downturn follows a peak reached on February 19, 2025, and has raised alarms among investors about market conditions.
