As coronavirus cases drop and vaccine distribution ramps up, tech stocks are experiencing increased volatility and large one-day drop-offs—and some believe the current market correction could affect these high-growth stocks for much longer.

The growth in tech stocks has also correlated with a boom in other assets, most notablyand cryptocurrencies. In a huge sign of faith, Tesla recently announced the purchase of $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin for the company along with plans to accept the cryptocurrency as payment sometime in the future.

Growth in the tech sector has spurred many to rush for public offerings provided by IPOs or SPACs. In data collected by the Wall Street Journal, 2021 has already seen a sizable increase in the already booming industry of IPOs and SPACs following the market recovery last year. Many of these companies have had initial valuations of over $1 billion, with the Wall Street Journal reporting 32 such IPOs and SPACs worth more than that amount already during the first quarter of 2021.

With the recent market correction, however, technology stocks are showing their vulnerability to bond yield increases and fears of rising inflation. The quick surge over the last year could be in jeopardy of an even further correction ahead of a COVID-19 stimulus package presumably passed in March. And even after the stock market reins in ongoing volatility, the ever-present fears of a longer global recession could keep high-growth tech stocks down for the foreseeable future.
