Was October 23, 2026 a good day to buy the dip in Eastern Time?
TOO EARLY
Maybe — the market hasn't opened yet; Nasdaq futures are up 0.24% as dip-buyers nibble after Thursday's 2.6% slide.
Why
- Nasdaq fell 2.6% Thursday, its worst day since June
- Nasdaq 100 futures +0.24%, S&P 500 futures -0.05%
- VIX jumped 14.1% to 19.03 on Thursday
