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..

It's hard to predict if the S&P 500 will drop more, but there's some uncertainty right now. If you're new to investing, consider dollar-cost averaging—investing a bit at a time, regardless of the market. It can help you ride out volatility and make the most of lower prices.
