Why wouldn’t I sell everything right now until it stabilizes?

I just started investing a couple months ago, so bear with me.

What is the actual benefit of me leaving my money in my Roth right now? Wouldn’t it make sense to sell it all, and then reinvest once things get a little better? Why does it make sense to just sit back and lose all of my money, even though I know it will increase in 20+ years.

If I pull the funds now, I’ll still be ahead more than if I don’t, right?

I know I’m not supposed to look at my Roth like that, but even if I just sell my holdings and keep the money in the account, liquid, it feels safer
