How do you determine whether it was panic or just uncertainty?

It could be a rational reason for markets to swing wildly because of uncertainty about future. It might take time to gather enough data to assess the risks properly, and while risks are as unknown it is rational that market will be valued lower.

Each bit of knowledge makes uncertain a little bit less uncertain.

I don't think we know enough to decide why markets swing wildly around the actual return, but that they do is demonstrable fact.
