After the bottom formed in 23 Mar 2020, the US stock market has been trending upwards and it has since gone up by 30% from the low. The S&P 500 index ( ES1! ) has gone up from the low at 2174 to more than 2800 as of today. There are even dozens of stocks rallied up by 50–100% during the same period.

So, has the stock market hit a bottom already? Looking at the past events such as in 2008, 2000, 1987, etc…the bear market started from the peak on 20 Feb 2020 to the bottom on 23 Mar 2020, which lasted only slightly more than a month, could the shortest bear market in the history.

The momentum and speed of the V-shaped rebound from the low till now is also unusual compared to the past events. Let's take look at 2008 and 1987 to see if we derive anything useful out from the history markets. Watch the video for a walk through of the past market history.


The volatility index (VIX) has started to unwind since 18 Mar 2020. The texture and character from 6 Apr 2020 is different compared to the period from 24 Feb - 3 Apr 2020, which suggests a less volatile and more "normal" market session, where risk-on or risk-off mode corresponds to relevant assets.

For traders and investors, it is important to keep an open mind to consider different possibilities and have the right money management strategy that you are comfortable with before participating the market.
