S&P 500 — Every Major Crash Since 1929 on One ChartS&P 500 IndexTVC:SPXTrademyIOEvery crash feels like the end of the world when you're in it. But zoom out and a pattern becomes obvious that markets crash, markets recover, and the recoveries are always bigger than the crashes. Here's every major crash mapped on the S&P 500 using the Trademy Historical Crashes: The Great Depression (1929–1932) — DJIA dropped 89%. The worst crash in modern history. Took 25 years to fully recover. Oil Crisis (1973–1974) — S&P 500 fell 48%. Stagflation, OPEC embargo, and the collapse of Bretton Woods crushed equities for nearly two years. Black Monday (Oct 1987) — The Dow fell 22% in a single day. The fastest single-day crash ever. Yet the market recovered within two years. Dot-Com Bubble (2000–2002) — NASDAQ collapsed 78%. Five trillion dollars in tech market value wiped out. Took 17 years for NASDAQ to make a new high. Great Recession (2007–2009) — S&P 500 fell 57%. The subprime mortgage crisis took down Lehman Brothers and nearly the entire global banking system. Recovery took about 5 years. COVID-19 (Feb–Mar 2020) — S&P 500 dropped 34% in 33 days. The fastest crash in history. But also the fastest recovery — new highs within 5 months thanks to massive stimulus. Tariff Crash (Apr 2025) — S&P 500 fell 20% following global tariff announcements. Still playing out. The severity coloring tells the story, deep red for catastrophic events (50%+ drops), orange for major crashes, amber for sharp corrections. Each one felt permanent at the time. None of them were. What stands out to you when you see them all mapped together?
