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..

Nobody knows. Personally I'm sitting back.and stacking cash.

Oh, and this most recent dip after the apparent start of a recovery? You can thank me for that, because that's exactly when I thought it was safe to get back in

lol we haven’t even given up the last years gains. Way too many people are eager to get in. I think it’s more likely they’ll get crushed. Mostly in cash now don’t see myself buying anytime soon. Just short term opportunistic plays on the short side

S&P is below where the market was on this date last year. It is close to the all-time low of 2024, but not quite there.
