To gauge market volatility, we often look at various historical equities or volatility (VIX) charts over various extended time frames.

David Rosenberg, the bearish economist over at Gluskin Sheff, just published a massive chart book.  One of the charts is a bar graph capturing up and down moves over the last two years.

Some commentary and recommendations from Rosenberg:
