There's actually two issues with trying to time the market.

You mention predicting the bottom and dead cat bounces. You didn't mention that the other issue is often you will be late on the bottom too.

But IMHO the much bigger issue with trying to call a market drop is predicting the top. Often the big drop is preceded by some of the biggest gains. When trying to call the top you end up losing out of 10%+ gains which destroys your average returns. And sometimes it turns out there was no downturn. You just sat out on gains with no benefit.
