It looks to me like the one given by u/erickssm just shows total bank deposits directly over time, which trends upward with a sharper jump in 2020 reflecting the increased savings during the pandemic with a mild downward trend in 2022.
The one given by OP shows “change in bank deposits from peak” and if the top of the graph is 0 but the actual amount of deposits trends up, that must mean it’s dynamically considering the peak as it updates over time rather than the peak considering the entire data set. So even though this chart shows 0 from 2020 to 2022, what’s really going on is the peak is sharply rising, so then the sharp downfall looks way more dramatic because the way the graph is structured strongly emphasizes decreasing deposits while abstracting increasing deposits.
