CryptoQuant CEO Sees Bitcoin Moving Sideways Through Q1 2026 as Inflows Slow
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju expects Bitcoin to trade largely sideways through the first quarter of 2026 as capital inflows into the asset market slow and funds shift toward equities and precious metals. Around the time of his comments, Bitcoin was trading near $90,900, more than 2% below its daily level and off a weekly peak around $94,400. Despite weak sentiment and fears of a muted start to 2026, spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded strong net inflows in the opening days of the year, and long-term bulls, including Tim Draper and Bitwise's Ryan Rasmussen, still anticipate new highs.
