Index funds invests in the whole economy, so when they are overhyped people will over invest in the whole economy, that is the main danger. But yes, the invest/cash out cycle is probably longer than other kinds of investments, so wee see a longer bull run than normal but likely we will also see a longer/deeper recession than normal for the same reason.

Not every index fund invests in the whole economy. Lots of ETFs and mutual funds out there targeting specific indexes that represent only parts of the market. Even relatively broad ones like the NASDAQ, or specific ones for ultra short treasuries.
