Stock market crash: The Sensex and Nifty crashed over 3 per cent each in intraday trade on Monday. The stock market experts claim that the reason for this decline is over the concerns regarding the potential recession in the United States. The Sensex opened at 78,588.19 and eventually crashed to the level of 78,295.86, reported LiveMint. The outlet added that Nifty 50 opened at 24,302.85 and tumbled to the level of 23,893.70

The stock market crash also prompted people to take to social media, especially X, to share their reactions. While some dropped serious comments about this change in the market, others took a much lighter route and shared their reactions using memes.
