6.6% correction, is this the end or not?

Account Net-Liq: $7,143.75 SPX value: 3,444.02 Shiller PE: 31.58   Is this the end of the correction? Or just a bounce before we go back lower?

The market crashed 4.5% today, finally!

Account Net-Liq: $7,202.95 SPX value: 3,455.06 Shiller PE: 31.73   The market rallied and reached a 3,588.11 level. All new ATH! Outstanding rally! Unfortunately, that rally was totally unhealthy and pushed up by tech companies only.
