Bad news: you need to find a backup plan to wait it out. Remember, it’s not about you, it’s about current economy and politics. Sometthing out of your control.
Good news: everything ends. Including bad times and hypes. You and your skills will be in demand one day. Guaranteed. As long as you keep them sharp and keep learning.
If i were you (in fact i was in somewhat similar situation long time ago) - I’d try to start a startup, build and sell some product. One after another, until something sticks. Even if nothing sticks - i get out of it with valuable skills and experience.
