The S&P has fallen 11.8% already during this “small correction”. Assuming that the bottom is in already (February 9, 2018 = the bottom), the S&P has rallied for 48 days already. Is this normal? How long does it usually take for a 10%+ “small correction” to reclaim its old highs?
Here are the bottom dates for 10%+ “small corrections”
- June 4, 2012
- August 16, 2007

- January 30, 1990
- September 29, 1986
