Anyone tired of the current market structure

In the last 18 months or so we’ve now had three episodes of 2 week periods or less where blue chip stocks made 20-30% moves. For an economy that has largely been steady despite the recession fears. I’m not sure where it’s coming from completely - lack of banks prop trading, decline of long only slow money, algos, quant funds. But as someone who believes things have a fair price given fundamentals it’s hard for me to believe the world news calendar is explaining.

Luckily caught a lot of this as I was buying value late October. I sold like 5% of my positions this week. Personal opinion even a lot of value stuff up 20-30% in days still looks cheap. In theory we should chill a bit now, but I have no idea how bad the positioning is. Especially in the illiquid months it seems like the market is going to crazy extremes.
