In general, all experts will tell you to never try and time the market but I am somewhat of an active retail investor who subscribes to a dollar cost average buy the dip, sell the high mentality. In fall 2017 I scaled back stocks, In late fall 2017 I scaled back cryptos, I have been very heavy Silver/Gold since winter 2015. Recently I bought the dip in cryptos and stocks very gently. My cash position is higher than normal right now because I do sense there may be another opportunity to seize. I haven't touched bonds in 5 years, except for tax-exempt munis, but now may be time to consider buying the blood on the streets. Although I am never more than 5% in bonds since I still have 25 years to retire.
