Updated: Jan 08 2026- Market Trend Analysis: CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju indicates that Bitcoin may experience a boring sideways trend in the coming months, as structural changes suggest a decreased likelihood of a large-scale sell-off despite both bullish and bearish predictions emerging in the market.
- Institutional Investor Behavior: With institutional investors increasingly favoring long-term holdings of Bitcoin, Ju believes that the liquidity channels flowing into BTC have diversified, making it difficult to predict the timing of fund inflows, which signals a shift in market structure.
- Shift in Investor Interest: Ju also noted that the funds recently flowing into Bitcoin have dried up, with investor interest shifting towards traditional assets such as stocks, gold, and silver, which could impact Bitcoin's short-term performance.
- Price Volatility Expectations: Ju emphasized that Bitcoin's price is unlikely to see a sharp decline of over 50% as seen in past bear markets, instead maintaining a sideways trend in the coming months, contrasting sharply with previous cycles.
