Typical Secular Bear Market and Its Aftermath

The Chart represents typical secular bear markets based on MS’s sample of 19 such bear markets as shown after the jump.
There are obvious differences and similarities — the SPX fell 43% over 18 months, and snapped back 50% in 6 months. Almost but not quite as deep, but much faster a fall. What that means for the snapback is anyone’s guess.
There is no guarantee that the current market will track that amalgam, knowing what a composite of past Bears looks like can be helpful to your understanding of what is typical.
