How Long Will This Free Fall Continue? Looking for Insights from Experienced Traders

I'm relatively new to the stock market (about 3 to 5 years of experience) and I'm finding myself in a bit of a tough spot with this current market downturn. I've been watching the free fall, and I'm struggling to figure out how long it might last.

I understand market cycles can be unpredictable, but I'm hoping to get some perspective from more experienced traders. Are there any indicators or patterns that you look for when determining how long these kinds of downturns last?

Are you just doing DCA ?
