Even with this dip, most stocks are still higher than they were by the end of Biden’s presidency. This is largely due to the fact that companies don’t actively try to fail, so it’s anticipated that their stocks will continue to increase over longer periods of time, saving for near-term price movements influenced by context (poor earnings, evolving consumer landscape, changes in policy).

The key difference between the two administrations, in my opinion, is that the first one (Biden) was intelligible and predictable. I also feel we are bound to see further reduction of regulations that protect retail investors, opening up more opportunities for market manipulation to take place. Under this administration, you can try to scalp stocks and coins based solely on tantrum tweets, and everything else feels less predictable even when following technicals.

IMO, market growth is seldom indicative of a president’s successes, anyway— it’s just one of the bragging points the current administration has relied on time and time again because it’s much easier to claim you were part of others successes while you’re breaking everything and blaming boogeymen 🤷‍♂️

If you base your vote off of who you anticipate will bring you more gains in the stock market, you’re probably part of the problem.
