Our ASML data runs from Apr 27, 2012 to Nov 2, 2026. Highs set before that date still count, so a decline that was already under way on the first day is shown from its low in our data and marked as such. Days are calendar days. The backdrop column names a period only where both the peak and the low fall inside a very well-known market episode.
