Money Talk Advice on Taking Profits

Should I go all cash until next year, January 2020?

Definitely don't do this.
Now if your balance is now off your target allocation, feel free to rebalance. If your personal strategy involves a low percentage allocation to a money market fund, then the rebalance will take care of your "profit taking."

That's just generic advice, for more specific numbers you'd have to provide more information like age, retirement horizon etc

Do what's best for you and be satisfied with whatever decision you make.

There is nothing wrong with declaring victory and taking some profits, especially in a 401k where it won't create a taxable event. But what you are describing is an attempt at market timing that just doesn't make sense.
