5% Fall:
Often considered a mild correction. It might indicate a temporary dip in the market, often due to short-term concerns or profit-taking.

10% Fall:
Known as a correction. A 10% decline suggests that the market is experiencing a significant pullback, which could be due to various economic factors, but it may not yet signal a full-blown crisis.

20% Fall:
This marks the edge for a bear market. A 20% drop signals that the market is facing serious challenges, possibly indicating a prolonged period of declining prices.

>30% Fall:
Indicates a severe downturn in the market. A drop of this magnitude is often associated with major economic crises, significant investor panic, or a loss of confidence in the market.

>50% Fall:
Represents an extreme market crash. Such a large decline often occurs during major financial disasters and can lead to long-lasting economic consequences. This kind of drop is rare and usually indicates a collapse in investor confidence and a severe economic downturn.
