Chart of the Day: Corrections are Loud, Recoveries are Quiet

Crews Bank & Trust Wealth Management Services May 13, 2025
chart dated from 1960 to 2020 with market peaks in green and lows in red

Today’s Chart of the Day is provided by my colleague and fellow Portfolio Manager Angie Parsons. The chart, prepared by YCharts, shows the “Bull Market” (when the market is up 20%) and “Bear Market” (when the market is down 20%) and highlights the duration of each. Not surprisingly, since the market is up over longer periods of time, there is more green than red. What is surprising is the magnitude. Even though 20% downturns seem severe while we are in them, usually in the long run, they are just bumps in the road. YCharts noted a great statement describing the chart saying, “Corrections are loud, recoveries are quiet.”
