Reddit post cites Nasdaq Composite 5% dip and four-week losing streak
A Reddit r/stocks post claims the Nasdaq Composite fell 5% in a single day and has been in the red for four consecutive weeks. The author states such 5% dips occurred on only 57 of 14,055 trading days since 1971, with two-thirds during the 2001 and 2008 crash periods, and that more than five consecutive red weeks occurred only 10 times out of 2,811 weeks.
