CryptoQuant CEO: Bitcoin Enters 'Boring' Sideways Phase as Inflows Stall
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Market Liquidity Shift: CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that Bitcoin inflows have significantly decreased, with capital rotating into equities and commodities, indicating that structural changes in the market make timing inflows less effective, potentially leading to a few months of stable prices rather than dramatic fluctuations.
- Holder Behavior Change: Ki emphasized that the traditional pattern of large holders selling into retail demand has weakened, as long-term institutional ownership alters supply behavior, with a stash of 673,000 BTC reducing the likelihood of a major sell-off, thus avoiding deep drawdowns similar to past bear markets.
- Investor Sentiment Divergence: While Ki urged investors to be patient, smaller investors expressed disappointment regarding the arrival of a bull market, reflecting a divergence in market sentiment that could influence short-term investment decisions.
- On-Chain Data Support: Analyst CryptoZeno pointed out that Bitcoin's Net Unrealized Profit/Loss is near 0.3, suggesting average holders are in modest profit, with a cleaner market structure, although concerns about future price volatility remain prevalent.
