Nasdaq plummets 4% into correction territory

What HN thinks

Half the thread is buying the dip, the other half is explaining the dip, and nobody agrees what the dip even is.

Normal volatility, sensational headline
Many argue 4% drops happen regularly, the index is still up year over year, and 'plummets' is media hype; others counter that volatility clusters so base rates mislead.
AI and data center unwind
The real story is concentrated losses in AI, chips and data center stocks after anti-data-center election results, pod fund liquidations and fading bailout hopes, and some think the repricing has barely started.
Election explanations are guesswork
Attributing daily moves to election outcomes is dismissed by several as after-the-fact storytelling with no predictive value.

Consensus: There is no real consensus. Most do agree the pain is concentrated in AI-related stocks rather than spread evenly across the market.
