As others have said, the problem with trying to time the market is that you have to guess correctly twice.

Only if you have some desperate need to buy at the absolute lowest point of the dip and sell at the highest returns.

Yes the do say dead cat bounce but they also say “the market climbs a wall of worry.”

If you are invested and diversified, you just have to stay committed. You miss the top 4 positive days in a qtr or even a year, it will impact your return. Ideally, you have some cash to deploy when the market corrects, but even then you have to be nimble.

OP, you need at least 15-20 more years of gains before you can know that it's for real. Wait until then, and then move money in at that time.

I missed that opportunity. What’s a good strategy now? Is it likely to retest the lows?

Stop timing the market.

Imagine believing that tech that cannot reliably drive a car is on the verge of revolution.

AI is to 2025 what MOOCs were to 2013.

I am 60. I held through the pullback and nibbled a little with new positions, but I am selling the rally.

Putting the proceeds into bonds, to lock in some income. I am buying 3-5 treasuries/CDs and 5 year corporates. All individual, no funds. I will never buy another bond fund after 2022.
