Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What was the overall trend for the major indices on September 25, 2025?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed with a clear Bearish trend. In contrast, the NASDAQ Composite, NASDAQ-100, Nasdaq 500 Large Cap, and S&P 500 all finished with a Sideways trend, characterized by high intraday volatility and indecisive closing near their opening levels.
Why did the NASDAQ indices show a 'sideways' trend despite a late rally?
The sideways trend was a result of extreme volatility. After opening significantly lower (gap-down) and falling further, the indices rallied sharply to cover losses, then fell dramatically again, and finally rallied into the close. This back-and-forth movement, ending near the opening price, indicates a day of consolidation and market indecision, hence the 'Sideways' classification.
How did the VIX (Volatility Index) perform on the day?
The VIX, the market's 'fear index,' saw an increase, opening at 16.55 and closing at 16.73, marking a 3.40% rise for the day. This increase in the VIX reflects a clear rise in expected market volatility and investor uncertainty.
