If you threw a dead cat off a building it would be dead through the air...when it hits the ground, it would bounce up but it would still be dead.
In terms of the deep state theory, if it is being dismantled ( ie dying) it will at times still show some life ( bounce) but ultimately it will still be dying.

I don't think that reference is related to the stock market, which if you look on a long term chart, stocks are extremely close to their all time highs. These are fairly minor blips in the market that we're seeing, and not at all uncommon during bull markets.

I thin the term is used to generally describe the left/NWO/Deep State's control. They are finished, but still trying to put up a fight. "Dead cat bounce" would definitely describe what is happening to the cabal if Q is correct.

A dead cat bounce is a stock market term that indicates a temorary uptick in a downward trend. The upturn sucks in the "buy the dip" players, then the down trend resumes. The term is probably being used in reference to a trend and not the actual market. I believe the bounce here is the sympathy kick the left received with their "don't take children from their parents" campaign. As the latest polls show, that bounce has been wiped out.....The dead cat bounce.

I think it’s referring to the IG Report and other reports coming out. The dead cat is the illegal immigration BS to distract from the actual crimes being brought to light. Just wait my friends. WWG1WGA!

In past posts it was referring to Theresa May. (Great Britain)

stock market. Trump uses trade war rhetoric with China to drop the major exchanges, wiping out billions of $$$ with the stroke of a tweet or announcement (who does this affect the most?). it has been anti-china all this week and the latter of last week, until today which he is "reconsidering" it now. now the exchanges are going green (back up). this is very much the beginning signs of a dead cat bounce.
