It could be a variety of reasons, hard to pinpoint one. However, those reasons, whatever they are, can be often "packaged" in a graphic representation, the "cup and handle". There are plenty of explanations of it online.
But generally, when the SP recovers and a chart looks a bit like a bowl, often there is a sharp retracement at some point, followed by a subsequent rise.
Again, there could be a variety of reasons for that to happen (incl. self fulfilling prophecies), but we have to presume that it may take place and be ready if it does.
