Temporarily. The market goes up and down for all kinds of reasons. Long term though it’s never failed to go up and to the right.

"Your 401k should never go down at all" is not a realistic expectation.

Hopefully, people who need to pull from their 401k's soon have wound down to less risky positions. 401k exposure is just not the same thing as your house valuation tanking.
