    So calling it a dip is basically assuming something that is not yet proven true, while calling it a drop is merely stating what has happened so far.

      that’s not at all what op said??

      these words contain contextual clues that allow an individual to hopefully understand a situation more clearly.

      i think the stock market might be a bit too much for you at the moment.

      Basically, stock markets are based on predictions. If it is likely a stock will continue to fall, it is called a drop. You can not know if it’s a dip or a drop in advance because rising and falling stocks are always relative to the rest of the environment. So calling it a drop would be not wrong, but an unlikely prediction.
