The following charts provide a simple comparison between the big stock bounce that occurred in the wake of the DOW crash of 1929 and the bounce we are seeing now in the S&P 500 index.
The method of alignment was simple: Take the first definitive up trading day off the bottom of the preceding bear market low and set that as the start of the series. Then simply re-base both series to a value of 100 so that they can be compared side-by-side.
