When looking at the largest daily point drops in stock market history, it drills the point even further home that
February / March 2020 were unprecedented in terms of how bearish they were.
The list above shows us that
the top three daily point losses for the stock market all occurred within a one-week span last March.
Overall, 6/7 of the worst daily point losses of all time all occurred within a
three week span during that month.
Overall, between February 24th - April 1st, 2020, the stock market experienced 9 out of 12 of its
worst daily point losses ever. In fact, the carnage was so bad last March that the stock market had technically entered into a "bear market" (analysts still consider that brief, yet scary dip to be a legitimate bear market / recession).
