Analysts Weigh in on Crypto Market Recovery Timeline

BeInCrypto reported $2 billion worth of liquidations triggered by then-US President Donald Trump's tariffs. As time went by, the president reached agreements with Canada and Mexico, which encouraged market recovery.

However, analysts are still not convinced that a full market recovery has arrived, even as others call for it altcoin season.

Market Recovery, Especially in Altcoins, Takes Time

Mathew Hyland, an analyst blockchain, shared his views on the market downturn, emphasizing that recovery will take time. He highlighted that although Bitcoin (BTC) did not experience breakdown, altcoin suffered significantly, resulting in a historic liquidation event. This shows the level of damage experienced by the market altcoin.

According to Hyland, although a major liquidation event signals a bottom for the market, it is not yet ready for it rebound.

"Given this is the largest liquidation event in Crypto history, it likely means the bottom has already been reached. However, in 2020 & 2022, it will take more than two months for a full recovery," kata Hyland.

Hyland also pointed out that December's highs for the most part altcoin probably won't come back for at least two months, or even longer. 

Based on this view, Hyland warns the trader to temper expectations, and added that even a V-shaped recovery like in 2020 takes weeks with some downturns along the way.
