As much as no one wants to believe that this is the case, it is the most likely scenario. Looking at the market and the previous bear markets it has always stuck to the same pattern of the bear market lasting into a few years before we actually see the next bull run so we should all get ready now and prepare for the worse. I don't think that It would take that long for the market to recover, as some of the coins have already appreciated  quite a lot after the recent market correction
