1987 Stock Market Crash - SP500 Index Chart 1987 Stock Market Crash - 10/19/87
What did the '87 Crash LOOK like? Was it really that bad? Take a peek for yourself...here it is in all its glory or three different time frames, so pick your poison...

This weekly chart gives a great overview. You can see that the crash took the market back down to levels last seen a year before, in October 1996. You can also see the start of the recovery, as the Dow started to move higher in a choppy style.

This daily chart gives a great feel for how quickly the Crash came after the market top in late August, and just how precipitous the decline was. You can also see how the Dow retested the October lows in early December.

This hourly chart shows the market deteriorating right into October 19th, and how the selling intensified on the19th right into the close.
How can the market change so dramatically in eight weeks? How can a seemingly invincible market unravel into panic in such a short time? It has been 10 years since the the 1987 Crash, and the story is just as dramatic as it was 10 years ago...
