ATH is all-time high.
I only follow the S&P 500, as it is by far the best measure of the three (Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq) of the total U.S. stock market and far more representative of what people have on average. But see bottom of this post for a graph of the DOW, which closed at 37,966, down 349 points (-0.9%) for the day.
The S&P 500 closed Monday April 7 at 5062, down 0.2% for the day,
and down 12.5% from the 5783 election day closing level,
and down 15.6% from the inauguration-eve level,
and down 13.9% year-to-date,
and down 17.6% from its all-time closing high of 6144 on Feb 19. (nearing a bear market which is 20% down)
Asked whether the stock market decline was due to his tariffs, Trump said March 6: “A lot of them are globalist countries and companies that won’t be doing as well because we’re taking back things that have been taken from us many years ago.” And Treasury Secretary Bessent said, Sunday, March 16, ""corrections are healthy.".
Quite a change after listening to RWers extolling the "Trump Trade" for four months.

It is down 17.6% from its all-time closing high of 6144 on Feb 19. Anything between 5% and 10% down is in "pullback" territory. Corrections start at 10% down, and bear markets start at 20% down. Another day as bad as last Thursday or even half as bad as last Friday will put it in a bear market.
(It closed Thursday March 13 more than 10% down, making it officially the start of a correction. I don't know when corrections end -- when a new closing high occurs???)
========================================================
I'm not a fan of the DOW as it is a cherry-picked collection of just 30 stocks that are price-weighted, which is silly. But since there is an automatically updating embedded graphic, here it is. It takes several, like 6 hours, after the close for it to update. It closed Friday at 38,315, and it closed Monday at 37,966, a drop of 0.9% (349 points) for the day.
I don't maintain statistics for the DOW like percent up or down since election day, or year-to-date, or from the all-time high etc. like I do for the S&P 500.
DJIA means Dow Jones Industrials Average. It takes about 6 hours after the close to update, so check it after 10 PM EDT
