What that felt likeThe worst peak-to-trough fall over this period was -35.9%, and the worst single session was -9.5%. Both already happened; neither bounds what comes next.

Only this section follows the benchmark selector. The brief, filing reactions and Ask evidence stay on SPY; this chart is showing SPY.

Past return and risk are observations about a period that is over. They are not a forecast, and nothing here is investment advice.
