Why does a stock go down?

The current value of anticipated future profits is influenced by expectations for growth and market risk. If profit growth expectations fall or market risk rises, stock prices may drop.

Is it bad if stock goes down?

A falling stock price means the investor faces a loss, depending on how much the stock's value has declined since purchase. The lower the price drops, the more the investor's holdings lose value.

Is it possible to predict the market?

While absolute certainty isn't possible, investors use tools like technical analysis and chart reading to make informed guesses about market direction.
