Next Market Peak
Next Market Peak
Here’s a look at the last five major bear markets (including 2022), and the number of days it took for the stock market to go from one peak to the next:
Market Peak | Market Trough | Next Market Peak | Total # of Days |
November 28, 1980 | August 12, 1982 | November 3, 1982 | 705 |
March 24, 2000 | October 9, 2002 | May 30, 2007 | 2,623 |
October 9, 2007 | March 9, 2009 | March 28, 2013 | 1,997 |
February 19, 2020 | March 23, 2020 | August 18, 2020 | 181 |
January 3, 2022 | ??? | ??? | ??? |
The pandemic-driven bear market of 2020 marked the fastest round trip (181 days) to a new peak since 1950, but I think we can classify it as an outlier given the circumstances. Beyond that bear market, the shortest amount of time it took for the market to get back to a previous peak happened in 1950, when it took 436 days. Consider that since 1950, the average number of days it took the stock market to return to a peak is 1,166 – or over three years.
That’s a long time.
