v-shaped recovery describes the shape of the market's Performance V Kapseln Stiftung Warentest in a recession and subsequent recovery when graphed.
the v is not bad because it means the economy stayed bad for only the "point" of the v and then turned quickly higher. other letters used to describe recoveries are U, when the bottom is prolonged before a recovery, and L as was the case in Japan starting in the 90s.
in that case, the recession stays around for years.
