Update 2025-05-08 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The decrease will be measured by comparing final market close prices. The comparison for each quarter in 2025 will be as follows:
Q1 2025: Close price of December 31, 2024 to the close price of March 31, 2025.
Q2 2025: Close price of March 31, 2025 to the close price of June 30, 2025.
Q3 2025: Close price of June 30, 2025 to the close price of September 30, 2025.
Q4 2025: Close price of September 30, 2025 to the close price of December 31, 2025.

@Cactus the best method weve found is to only compare the final market close prices. So in this case it would be the close price of the day before the q started to the close price on the last day of the quarter.
So: prior year Dec31-Mar31
Mar31-June30
June30-Sep30
Sep30-Dec31
That way we have exact coverage, and mathematically we can combine intervals. q4(q3(q2(q1))) == y1
This is necessary because often one days close price isn't the same as the next days open price.
