All #Sensex #BearMarkets in #OneChart

Most of us have never seen a market crash like this earlier. But it doesn’t mean markets haven’t fallen like this ever before. Take a look at all the bear markets and you will get my point.

1. The 1992 crash was the first one for Indian stock markets. It took just 36 sessions for the Sensex to fall by 40% from all-time highs.

2. The bear market after the Dotcom bubble burst in 2000 was the longest. Sensex dropped 56% from all-time high and took 405 sessions or 19 months to bottom out.

3. The crash in 2008 was the severest of all. Sensex plunged 61% from all-time high and knocked out most investors brutally.
4. The 2015 bear market was the least fatal of all. Sensex dropped 23% from all-time high on the back of currency crisis in emerging market economies.

5. The Corona crash is the most recent of all bear markets. Sensex has fallen a maximum of 33% in 47 trading sessions. We are in the middle of this crash and don’t know how far or how long it will take to bottom out.

I hope this chart gives you a better perspective on the past market crashes and enables you to take better decisions in future.
