How it's used

Beyond the literal physical sense of bouncing back, this term is frequently used in social or psychological contexts to describe a sharp, negative reaction to pressure or control. It implies a forceful pushback that is proportional to the intensity of the initial action. In financial or market contexts, it is also the standard way to describe a recovery in prices after a period of decline.
