Reporting on the stock market generally is overwrought (stocks always "soar!", "plummet!", "rocket!") because the kind of typical events are inherently repetitive. Sports reporting is the same.

That said, the Nasdaq hasn't seen a lot of -4.8% days recently. This particular article isn't egregious.

Sitting at 5.3% as we speak. This is probably the biggest drop since COVID if it doesn't recover by EoD.
