Last 2 crashes

 

You can see the type of slope ($/time) needed to really cause a big crash by looking at the last 2 they did in the graphs below... by “big crash” I mean one of the substantial  30% to 40% reductions in equity index asset prices (not to mention the associated real chaos) we have been getting once in a while over last couple of decades whenever they add large amounts of reserves in a short period of time and the depositories don’t have the regulatory capital to support it...

The one last year was about a $700B increase in these Assets in about 3-4 weeks which was accompanied by a free fall in equity index prices into March 25th...
