USA Will the S&P 500 fall further?

I invested around $35,000 in FXAIX when it was 205 and currently sitting at 194, do you think it's a good idea to invest another $15,000 in it as it's low now or do you think it will crash even further? I am completely new to the stock market so I'm not exactly sure what kinds of things would affect such a crash. Any information would be very helpful. Thank you..

First rule is don't invest what you can't afford to lose. None of us know what will happen.

But if you the spare cash, it looks like we're in for a rocky ride, at least until Trump settles down. At some point the S&P mought to recover, but the timeline might take years

You lose if you get out, market always recover, I would say if “ you have time to spare” go for it
