FINANCIAL TERMS
Rebound
Description
A rebound means prices rise again after falling.
In simple terms, a rebound happens when a market or asset recovers some of its recent losses.
Rebounds are important because they can show that investors are returning to the market after fear or selling pressure. A rebound may happen after better news, cheaper prices, or a change in expectations.
For example, if stocks fall sharply on Monday but rise strongly on Tuesday, the Tuesday move may be called a rebound.
A rebound does not always mean the weakness is over. Prices can rebound briefly and then fall again if the underlying problems remain.
