That everybody more and more EXPECTS the market to crash soon and therefore reacts to each little move down with more and more fear of that happening.

The flip side is the observation that the market does the opposite of what people expect. If everybody expects it to do something then everybody positions for that, thus preventing the market to do that.

Hence the saying, "Bull markets climbs a wall of worry."
