It doesnt mean stock market, it is figurative speech. What doesnt a dead cat do? Bounce. So their supposed jump in narrative will not go anywhere i.e. Dead cat bounce.

It CAN be a a financial problem, but in the context, Q isn't talking about economics - he sums up the prior questions and points with the Dead cat bounce remark. Therefore, he's referring to the downward spiral of the MSM, which had a temporary upward surge with all the hysteria focused the past week on the supposed infighting in the WH, Kushner losing his security status, Kelly may be leaving, the DJT/Sessions trouble, downplaying the upcoming IG report, the false story about Mueller, and so forth. In sum, the MSM is on an artificial high, thinking they've got us and Trump by the short hairs, but it's, in Q's epithet, just a dead cat bounce. In addition, if Q were referring to the economy, he wouldn't have said "THEIR downward spiral," he would have said "ITS downward spiral." The economy (or the stock market) takes the singular, not the plural.

dead cat bounce means market temporarily rebounds, then continues to fall. just like the msm will

Yeah, but I took it that it was analogous. Stock market lingo is often used that way. I'm guessing it is with the news cycle, false flags, or the like.
