Observations about investor sentiment amid the market decline
Today, $QQQ fell 4.5%. Other indexes fell more than 2%. Amid the decline in the stock market bull market, it seems like people on Twitter and other platforms aren't that concerned about the markets. There seems to be no panic. It's like people expect the market to go back higher sometime soon.

Even if oil prices surge, tensions rise in the Middle East, and consumer confidence continues to hit new lows, people are still bullish on the markets. The Fed is hiking interest rates, and while the market looks concerned, people aren't. In the crypto markets, people continue to buy into $BTC.X $ETH.X and even $APE.X.

The sentiment that I'm sensing among investors seems to hint that the market decline will continue until people start panicking. Usually, markets bottom when sentiment is highly negative. The COVID bottom, the late-2018 trade war fears bottom, etc. all happened when sentiment was highly negative.

Some will say that because it is Friday, people aren't in the mood to panic. But looking back, we even had panicking on Fridays during the rapid COVID crash.

Even with $AMZN down 14%, it doesn't seem to have done anything to create panic.

Is anyone truly concerned about the market crash, or is everyone expecting markets to rebound higher soon?
