The "dead cat bounce" is a financial market term that refers to a temporary recovery in the price of an asset after a substantial decline, before the price resumes its downward trend. The phrase is based on the idea that even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height, suggesting that even a severely falling asset can experience a brief uptick before continuing to decline.
