To start off, we can define a correction as a decline in the S&P 500 index of 10% or more from its most recent high. If the drawdown reaches 20% or more, then it's not just a correction; it's considered a bear market. Using the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust as a proxy, we can see that deep drawdowns have occurred on a regular basis since the early 1990s.
