CryptoQuant CEO expects Bitcoin to trade sideways in early 2026 despite historic Q1 gains

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju said on Wednesday that capital flowing into Bitcoin has "dried up" as investors rotate toward stocks and precious metals, and he expects the asset to move "just boring sideways" for the next few months. Bitcoin is trading around $90,890 after retreating from a weekly high of $94,400 in early 2026, even though historical data show strong average gains in February and March.
