General rule for posting stock prices: sometimes things are obvious when you zoom out a bit.
In this particular case, Reddit stock price is still up several percentage points from the Trump rally that affected just about every tech stock after 2024-10-30 about. Same applies to other stocks like Tesla.
So at this point it’s nothing more than a return to normal. No need to attribute anything more to it. But sure, if this descends keeps going for some time more, it’ll be different.
I’m not experienced with stock markets, but is the concept of ‘normal’ really relevant, especially after a whole quarter? What factors would give it a tendency to return to the prior state?
Interesting! I didnt know that so many tech stocks were impacted on that date. Is there anything special about the start date of reddit’s stock decline? Or was it simple a “straw that broke the camel’s back” situation, where some insignificant thing started the downward trend?

Stock markets are very close to brownian motion. There is no return to normal.
There is a market portfolio (people use the s&p500 as a proxy for this) so returns of sectors or individual stocks should be made relative to this.

Stocks overall took a downturn when investors finally realized Trump wasn’t bluffing bout his tariff plans
