"The Dead Cat Bounce"

"The Dead Cat Bounce" is a term used in finance and investing to describe a temporary recovery in the price of a declining asset, such as a stock, before it resumes its downward trend. The phrase suggests that even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height. This phenomenon can mislead investors into thinking that the asset is recovering, prompting them to buy in; however, it's typically a brief rally followed by further declines, reflecting ongoing negative sentiment or underlying problems with the asset.
