CryptoQuant Predicts Bitcoin Price Stability in Q1 2026
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Decreased Capital Inflows: CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that capital inflows into Bitcoin have significantly dried up, leading to a shift in investor interest towards stocks and precious metals, reflecting subdued market sentiment that could impact Bitcoin's short-term price performance.
- Price Stability Forecast: Despite historical data showing Bitcoin's January average return at 3.81%, Ju anticipates a flat trend in Q1 2026, which may starkly contrast with past strong performances, potentially influencing investor decisions.
- ETF Performance Rebound: In the first three days of 2026, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $925.3 million, indicating renewed market interest in Bitcoin that could support future price increases.
- Divergent Market Confidence: While Ju maintains a conservative outlook on Bitcoin, other industry figures like Tim Draper predict Bitcoin could reach $250,000, highlighting a disparity in market confidence that may affect investor strategy choices.
