Which technology-heavy stock index reached its pre-crash peak on 10 March 2000?

The Nasdaq Composite reached its pre-crash peak on 10 March 2000.

The technology-heavy index closed at 5,048.62, marking the high point of the dot-com boom. Investors had poured money into internet and technology companies, including many businesses with little revenue or no profits.

After the peak, technology shares plunged as expectations changed and companies struggled to justify extreme valuations. The Nasdaq Composite lost roughly 78% of its value by October 2002, making the episode one of the defining market collapses of the early internet era.

The Nasdaq Composite is an index, not a single company. It includes thousands of securities listed on Nasdaq, so its movement reflects a broad group of technology and growth-oriented shares rather than only internet businesses.
