source: coinbase API. They only have data starting 2016, Jan 1st so this is where I start my analysis.
since 2016 this even has occurred 14 times in monthly bins.
method:
I calculated the lagging 90 day high closing price and then figure out how many days and months it took to recover. Currently bitcoin is ~ 48% of the 90 day high so I filter by events this has occur by month. I then figure out how many days or months it took to recover had you bought at the absolute highest.

So as you can see, historically this has occurred 14 times since 2016. In 2018 was the worse, because just when you thought you bought at the absolute lowest, the ATH actually shifts and every month it kept on dropping.
Median
the median months it took to recover is 4.9 months or 147 days. The lowest it dropped was 64.9% on 2018, Feb.
Here is a histogram.
TLDR: buckle up; historically it takes about 4.9 months or 147 days to recover from a drop of -40-64%. The shortest it took was 2.9 months and the longest was 34.4 months to recover. The lowest it ever drop was on Feb 2018 about 64.9% and that took 1029 days to recover. The good news is that it will likely recover again.
