SPX decline took all of 17 days. Rally has (to date) taken 44 and still not above ATH's.
And most would say SPX has been range bound / sideways for at least a month now.
Corrections/crashes over 10% practically always happen much faster than recoveries. It took almost 2 years to recover from the 1987 crash, and that happened for no real reason (other than maybe program trading). This recovery is happening much faster than the late 80s bounce--which happened with no coronavirus and a robust economy. Or look at Dot-Com (took 7 years to reach ATHs again), 2008-9 (almost 6 years) and corrections in 2011, 2015-16, 2018, etc. (1-2 month corrections took 6-12 months to recover...and those were much more shallow than this one).
This is Trading 101 stuff everyone should know but many here are still in pre-K.
