# What the 2025 Selloff Actually Reminds Me Of Canonical: https://stocksurgedaily.com/what-the-2025-selloff-actually-reminds-me-of/ Hey, Ross here: I see a lot of people comparing the 2025 selloff to the 2022 bear market. That’s understandable. But what this selloff reminds me of the most is not 2022 – but 2018. **Chart of the Day** ![](https://stocksurgedaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/AD_4nXdXkl5Hhy8kuF8xd0WDz9FKMrIE235qltrX-wQKbSBvp3H59yAVTWd4_WdUgtyG6FFRKF72qyoW91Qts6xFXzSb3uKWuKdg6fJ331YW-jfZ_48ibNbWI4IL8WXe3JOsukXhYowWyA-1.png) The above chart shows all the bear markets from the past decade. 2018 isn’t officially considered a bear market because the S&P 500’s max drawdown was 19% – just under the 20% bear market threshold. But for the Nasdaq – the index I focus on the most when trading, because that’s where all the growth stocks are – the max drawdown was about 23%. That’s the year that 2025 reminds me of the most. We had massive tariff/trade war uncertainty coupled with a stubborn Fed… Exacerbated by a mainstream media that takes every chance it gets to exaggerate Trump’s moves. When the rebound began at the end of 2018, it happened strong and fast. I expect the same thing right now. Remember, we are in a correction not a crisis. And this is also one of the best positioning opportunities we might see in a while. I explain more below. **Insight of the Day** **Most of our biggest and best winners were made during these bear markets**. When I look back at all the trades I’ve recommended… I find that most of our biggest and best winners were made _during_ these bear markets… Whether that’s 2018, 2020, or 2022. Sure, we did well during the bull markets – with a lot better consistency. But when looking at those big ten-bagger trades? You have to enter them during these corrections and bear markets. Like I said, we’re not in a bear market and I don’t believe we’ll enter one anytime soon. But just like 2018, the sharp 2025 selloff presents a positioning opportunity that may not come again in a while. The good news is, because the potential returns are so great… You don’t even have to take a lot of risk to take a shot. **[Later this afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern…](https://gettheblackedge.com/registration/?tambid=28899&id=TA29067)** I’m going LIVE to show you a unique strategy for finding high potential trade setups amidst all this tariff turbulence. The strategy I’ll be demonstrating has indicated opportunities like: * 4X in two weeks… * 3X in ONE DAY… * 9X in six days… But with Trump announcing wide-ranging tariffs today, there’s never been a better time to use this strategy to exploit all that volatility. **[Click here to guarantee your seat at my live training session](https://gettheblackedge.com/registration/?tambid=28899&id=TA29067)** if you haven’t done so already… And I’ll see you at 3 p.m. ET later today. Act before the market calms down. **Customer Story of the Day** _"Just attended a live training session with Ross Givens from Traders Agency.  Great info on how to handle the current volatility in the stock market, what to watch for going forward.  Thanks, Ross!!"_ _\- Patricia_ Embrace the surge, ![](https://stocksurgedaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/unnamed-12.png) **Ross Givens** Editor, _Stock Surge Daily_
