It depends on the market and your skillset. You can test the market right now by polishing up your CV & profile (LinkedIn is actually a good source of leads), getting in touch with some recruiters and seeing if you can get some offers, and adjust your rates & risk tolerance based on this.
At least in the UK, the contract market seems quite good for this early in the year, and usually peaks around summer. YMMV.
It obviously depends on your situation and whether you have any responsibilities; my opinion would probably be different if I had a family, but in my case I have little to lose even if things go sour. I won't be able to do this forever so I make the most out of it while I can still afford the risk.
