when did the dot com bubble burst

The dot-com bubble is generally considered to have burst in early 2000 , with the Nasdaq’s peak on March 10, 2000 often used as the turning point, and the broader bust continuing through 2001–2002.

Quick context

• Peak: March 10, 2000.

• Bust period: 2001–2002, after the sharp sell-off began in 2000.

• Market impact: By October 2002, the Nasdaq had fallen dramatically from its 2000 high.

Why that date matters

People usually mean the moment when investors realized internet stock valuations were unsustainable. In practice, the crash was not a single day but a collapse phase that unfolded over months and years.
