It's really hard to time selling and buying back even if you're right and a crash is imminent. On the other hand, other than the great depression, most crashes recover fairly quickly (a few years). If you're invested for the long term then likely moving to cash is the losing move. Cash also loses to inflation.

My take is make a few adjustments on the margins to make your gut happier. If you scored you're a little ahead of the index. If you messed up you're not far behind.
