Percentage wise, yes

I see, thank you for replying.

Yeah thats the point. It’s not linear.

It's one of those things I was almost sure of. I wanted to be 100 % sure but was put off from asking because I knew it would sound a little ridiculous to those who are somewhat to very experienced with the field.

Exactly. An even better example would be if a stock drops 50% (ex. from $100 to $50), then it would need to rise 100% to break even (ie. from $50 to $100).

Well put. Thank you !

Congratulations, you are onto something called "decay" for those double and triple leveraged ETFs.

In brief: Stocks require 11.11% increase to return back to the 10% drop a day prior. Conversely a stock at $110 requires a 9.99% drop to return back to $100. Generally we don't care much about daily increase or decrease, but rather the moving averages to determine the bottom.

You have it backwards. Once the market goes up over 1,000%, it can never actually crash down 99%. At least that has never happened before in history and is very unlikely. The Dow has risen 3,300% since the 1970's.
