The dot-com bubble peaked on which date when the Nasdaq Composite reached its high?

The dot-com bubble peaked on March 10, 2000, when the Nasdaq Composite reached its high.

The Nasdaq Composite closed at 5,048.62 on that date, after years of enthusiasm for internet and technology companies. Many businesses attracted enormous valuations despite limited revenue, large losses, or untested business models.

After the peak, technology shares began a prolonged collapse. The Nasdaq fell roughly 78% from its March 2000 high to its October 2002 low. Numerous internet companies failed, while surviving firms faced pressure to prove that online business models could generate sustainable profits.

The phrase “dot-com crash” describes the market downturn that followed the bubble, while the “dot-com bubble” refers to the speculative boom and its eventual deflation. The period also helped establish companies such as Amazon and Google, which later developed into major technology businesses.
