This level of volatility feels unhealthy

I don't have any profound insight. just a retail idiot here to commiserate.

the level of volatility in the market feels very unhealthy to me and it's scaring me quite a bit... the swings were seeing just feel insanely aggressive, and in both directions.

a lot of stocks are moving 5-10% a day, even big names, reversing course and swinging to a gain/loss in the same day. completely reversing major movements the following day, etc.

probably a trader's wet dream, but from a macro perspective it does not feel healthy at all and makes me feel like we're about to see a 10-15% pull back with deeper corrections in tech/riskier names.
