I think I might have been penalized

I've had this new side project since about 6 months. Two months it started rankings for loads of promising keywords on the first page. A few days ago the rankings and impressions have rapidly dropped.

I think I might have been penalized for a link I bought 2 weeks ago. I requested/bought a link from a relevant site in my niche. The link should be placed in an existing relevant article and used a keyword anchor-text instead of the brand name. I think this might have triggered some kind of algorithmic penalty.

- If so how long will it last? Will the rankings recover eventually?

- Could it be something else. What do you guys think?
