What will continue will be a long phase of accumulation where the big sharks and institutional Investors will fill their bags properly. The bear market will last until these guys are able to buy their full bags, you can easily spot accumulations on bear charts, with phases when the price doesn't move a lot but the volume suddenly spikes something which has been happening since last few days maybe due to the merge. Ironically this is a necessary phase of the market as experts say the longer the accumulation the higher the next high will go. Market might recover a bit but don't expect another ATH anytime soon.
