Don't dispair. Deep and wide skillsets are always valuable. Continue to build your skills and specialize in areas that your peers don't.

Target your region too if you aren't fully remote. Different parts of the country have different trends for tech that is in demand. For instance, I work in IT, and the state that I am in for some reason is by and large Microsoft tech stacks, (no I'm not in Washington.) So .NET and C# devs are in high demand here, as are IT people who have experience scripting with Powershell and developing/administrating in Azure environments. But other areas will be more AWS or Google-centric, or even other stuff.

Identify the trends, figure out what people are looking for and what isn't being met as a need, then train in that.
