We're down only 12% from an all time high. It's only been a couple of days since the market reacted to Coronavirus. It's possible that if you buy now, you'll soon lose another 20% or more.

(disclaimer: I have $280 SPY puts expiring in April, and tomorrow is probably gonna be a great day, personally)
