Select 1y or 5y or max on this graph:

My point is that the long-term view is helpful in this case. The market is overvalued partially because of the foolish reduction of regulations several years ago.

And you posted your comment 3 hours ago, after the market rebounded today.

Thus the only currency that took a serious hit is crypto, and it remains down: https://coinmarketcap.com/

Yeah it plunged and then the plunge protection team saved it so it didn't close down for the day, but the volatility was extreme. Stocks will catch up with crypto soon enough, especially if the fed doesn't print more money and re-lower the lending rates back to 0%. The system has become hooked on free money and now it will have lot of trouble functioning without it.
