Markets frequently overshoot, down AND up. The market probably way oversold into early March and shot up too quickly without supporting fundamentals.

If the market remains extremely volatile, it could be a period of time when more frequent rebalancing than usual could be profitable. But my Magic 8-Ball isn't working well enough to know. Anyway, it seems pretty clear that the last bullish uptrend is toast, and the sellers and profit-takers are back for some unknown amount of time.
