As I've stated earlier, these numbers paint a false picture. The declines here are shown from the START to the END of the recession, not from the HIGH to the LOW, which could be much worse. No recession ever starts at the ATH and ends at ATL.
That table conveniently misses out the 1929 bear market, the biggest (S&P down 80%) and longest one (almost 3 years to bottom). Also that table seems to includes many 19% corrections, which aren't even bear markets. Major bear markets last between 1.5 to 3 years and have falls in the S&P of between 40% and 80%. Dow crashed almost 90% in the 1930s. Nasdaq crashed 80% in the 2000s. In the 1970s bear market the informal Nifty Fifty Index of US stocks crashed over 70%. These were a list of very popular US high growth stocks considered safe buy and hold investments. I think more recently Indians stole that name, Nifty Fifty, but it seems to have been a popular US term in the 70s, can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nifty_Fifty
One thing I'd like to point out about that, especially since I still come across many boomers who like to blame the stonks market for the Great Depression... "The Great Depression was, contrary to popular myth, not created by the 1929 stock market crash, as economies had endured such crashes before and since without collapsing into a depression. The response of governments had much to do with the subsequent downturn in the economy, including ill-advised tariffs on other countries' goods for starters, and other disastrous but politically popular policy throughout the 1930s in the United States."
S&P 500 (sometimes the past...comes back...): from the high of January 4, 2022 to today's low:= -27.5% practically similar to the period: 1980-1982 (see table), but it could fall as low as -28% (3469), or as low as -28.5% (3445), so if it were to rise sharply from any of these 3 levels, then perhaps (maybe) the minimum might have been reached; if, on the other hand, it were to fall further, it could reach -33.5% or -33.9% (as in 1987 or 2020)
The average and median recession means absolutely nothing. An average and median has meaning if sampling from something like human height because human height is all from the same distribution. Finding the average and median height by sampling from humans, cows and deer then comparing that average and median to snakes doesn't tell you anything of value. Recessions are path dependent too. We got to this point partially because of Covid and the Great Recession, we got to the Great Recession partially because of the Dot Com bust, etc.
On 14 October I had reported here (post #36): this similarity: S&P 500 from the high of Jan. 4, 2022 to the low of Oct. 13:= -27.5%, practically similar to the period: 1980-1982 (see table I had included in the above post), so in my opinion the October 13 low is probably the annual low. According to some statistics in the book: "The right stock at the right time" by Larry Williams: years ending with the number 2 are years in which a mininmo is often realized from which an upward movement will start; in the fourth year of the 4-year cycle, a downtrend and thus a low is often formed, and 2022 is the fourth year of the 4-year cycle; finally, 2023 will be the third year of the U.S. Presidential cycle (which is obviously 4 years), and the third year is usually upward because whoever is in office prepares the election campaign for the following year (even Perry Kaufman in his book: "New Trading Systems and Methods," confirms this feature of the third year of the US presidential cycle). Therefore, according to these statistics, an Upward Market should follow, probably until this spring.
