How the S&P 500 Index Tends to Behave After It Crashes: Chart

(Bloomberg) -- Following Monday’s market crash that saw the S&P 500 Index decline by over 4 percent, investors worldwide are wondering what will come next.

The one wildcard that still remains -- how all the volatility and quant strategies behave in the next few days.
