We had a 20% drop in Q4 2018, that did not lead to a recession. This thing is a 30%+ drop, in a very short amount of time, with people who cannot leave their homes. This is a recession, lol!

They are simply responding to the CME increases, and adjusting accordingly as compared to their own risk parameters. CME has been spitting out Equity margin updates every couple of days now for two weeks.
