Or you could look at it the other way, why in the world was +10% up from here the "right number" as to its value. Try to justify that first before questioning the contraction.

Well, sure. It's just that large, fast reactions to relatively sudden events seem harder to justify than large slow reactions to continual events, at least when it comes to an investment with a long timescale.
Correct

Also with 80%+ of all trading being algo, they are chasing each other to the bottom. The actual valuations might have been high anyway, but not to justify this.

We are likely going to hit one hell of a bounce once it does find the bottom.

Or, why do we think the value of everything is known to a precision of less than 10%? Maybe both prices are equally accurate.
