Crypto market analysts, including Matthew Hyland, predict that recovery in altcoin prices to December 2022 levels may take at least two months, possibly longer. This forecast follows a massive liquidation event on February 3, where over $2.24 billion was liquidated from the crypto market. Trump's tariff threats heightened fears of a trade war, causing Bitcoin to drop below $100,000 for the first time since late January. Although there were temporary recoveries, the market currently trades around $97,570. Historical patterns from previous market disruptions in 2020 and 2022 support the expectation of a prolonged recovery. Hyland noted that recoveries from past crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and collapses like that of the Terra blockchain and FTX exchange, took several months, suggesting that a rapid recovery is unlikely. Investors are advised to temper their expectations and prepare for a gradual recovery process.
