Historically low prices have endured for a longer period of time in the present bear market cycle than in any other.
The current bear market is not as bad as the one in 2014, but it's still pretty bad.
The main reason for this is the collapse of the bitcoin price. In late 2013 and early 2014, the price of a single bitcoin rose from around $100 to over $1,000. This led to a lot of speculation in the cryptocurrency market, and when the price started to fall, many people got burned. As a result, there is now much less interest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which has led to a further decline in prices.
