You do know the future however. When bonds are paying almost zero yield and more supply is flooding in and stimulus is being issued….Good luck with that.No one knows the future. Being diversified means that part of your portfolio is always disappointing, but the key thing is no one can know ahead of time which part.
Folks tend to think of markets like weather, when they see a storm coming, they want to go inside, so they start guessing about the future, jumping in and out. But markets are better thought of as the collective wisdom and knowledge about the future of everyone else, including professionals. You have about the same chance of beating that as you would racing against Olympic athletes. Buying and holding broad market funds allow you to profit from that wisdom instead of racing against it.
Stick to your plan and let the future play out.
