Insights From Analysts
While markets have reacted negatively to recent tariff announcements, this suspension could set the stage for a potential market recovery in the medium term, explained Subho Moulik, the founder and CEO of the fintech platform Appreciate.
&#8220;Despite legitimate concerns about inflation and trade uncertainty, U.S. economic fundamentals remain solid with unemployment edging down to 4% and GDP growth still in the positive territory. This economic resilience provides a foundation for market stabilization,&#8221; Moulik added.
According to him, market volatility may persist in the short term, but history demonstrates that strategic navigation of policy-induced corrections can lead to outperformance for investors who maintain discipline and a long-term perspective.
The Nasdaq 100 entered correction territory on Thursday, falling 9.76% from its record high to 20,052.64, and breaking below its 200-day moving average for the first time in nearly two years.
Analyst Jason Goepfert of White Oak Consultancy LLC warned in an X post that a further 3.5% decline within the next two weeks would signal a bear market.
Historically, when the index has broken its 200-day average after a prolonged uptrend and subsequently dropped at least 3.5% within two weeks, a bear market has followed. Conversely, if the index avoids a 3.5% drawdown in the next two weeks, historical data suggests positive one-year returns.

Pure Storage Posts Upbeat Results, Joins Cross Country Healthcare, Marvell Technology, Stoke Therapeutics And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Wednesday

Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCRN#NASDAQ">CCRN</a>) shares are rocketing premarket on Wednesday after the company inked a deal to be acquired by Aya Healthcare for $18.61 per share in an all-cash <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42312526/aya-healthcare-to-acquire-cross-country-healthcare-for-approximately-615-million-in-cash" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">transaction valued at around $615 million</a>.
This price represents a 67% premium over Cross Country&#8217;s closing price on December 3, 2024, and a 68% premium over its 30-day volume-weighted average trading price ending on the same date.
The merger will expand Aya&#8217;s services by adding Cross Country&#8217;s clinical offerings in non-clinical settings such as schools and homes, alongside Aya&#8217;s expertise in travel nursing, allied health, and staffing for per diem, permanent roles, interim leadership, locum tenens, and non-clinical professionals nationwide.
Together, the companies aim to reduce care costs, improve clinical outcomes, and provide better staffing solutions, while also offering employees growth opportunities through shared best practices.
The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2025, pending approval from Cross Country&#8217;s stockholders and other customary conditions.
The Cross Country Board of Directors has unanimously approved the agreement and will recommend stockholders vote in favor at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, which will be scheduled shortly.
Once the transaction is complete, Cross Country will become a private company, and its common stock will be delisted from NASDAQ.
John A. Martins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country, said, &#8220;This compelling all-cash transaction will deliver significant and immediate value to our stockholders. Importantly, it will also enhance and expand services and solutions for our clients, provide a wider array of opportunities and efficiencies for our healthcare clinicians and create new opportunities for our employees as part of an industry leader with a complementary footprint and offering.&#8221;
Alan Braynin, president and Chief Executive Officer of Aya, said, &#8220;By combining our strengths, resources and unwavering commitment to delivering best-in-class talent solutions, we are uniquely positioned to offer enhanced value to our healthcare systems, schools, clinicians and non-clinical professionals.&#8221;
Price Action: CCRN shares are up 62.9% at $18.18 premarket at the last check Wednesday.
