Buying the stock market dip hasn't paid off this much in 30 years

The S&P 500 has roared back from its April 8 low, with the
benchmark index up nearly 19% since President Trump
began delaying the bulk of his tariff threats.

Investors have been instantly rewarded for buying the dip in 2025 with the highest return in more than 30 years.

Research from Bespoke Investment Group shows that so far this year, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) has risen an average of 0.36% in the next trading session following a down day for the index. According to Bespoke's data, which dates back to 1993, the only other time stocks rebounded even close to this aggressively was the 0.32% average rise seen after down days during 2020.

As Bespoke wrote on X, the data is proof that the "buy the dip" mentality has been at the forefront of the market narrative in 2025. This played out as recently as Tuesday when the S&P 500 rose more than 2% after falling 0.7% to end last week's trading before the holiday weekend.
