The stock market is cyclical. It's been that way forever , Bull markets followed by bear markets and repeat. Since 1928 the stock markets average bull market has been 992 days long or 2.7 years. In that same time frame the average bear market has been 286 days long or 9.6 months . People freaking out Probobly are people that haven't been invested for more than 3 years. This bull run started in October of 2022 and has lasted exactly 833 days long . Which is right on the norm for length of bull runs. The average bear market drop percentage is 35% before finding a bottom and starting the next bull run. But I'm just tryna say this is totally normal. And people who are scared should hold and keep buying on the way down. Don't sell. Nothing to fear . The markets always come back and more times then not it takes less then a year till we start the next bull run .
