Bitcoin Market Outlook: CryptoQuant CEO Predicts Sideways Trend in Coming Months

Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: What to Expect in Bitcoin in the Coming Months? What’s the Outlook Like? CryptoQuant CEO Answers! Original Link: Bitcoin (BTC) started 2026 with a strong recovery, and the question is how it will perform for the rest of the year.

While both bullish and bearish predictions are emerging at this point, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju stated that Bitcoin may experience a boring sideways trend in the coming months.

At this point, Ju stated that structural changes in BTC did not signal a large-scale sell-off.

The renowned CEO stated that the likelihood of a major drop in Bitcoin’s price has decreased as institutional investors increasingly tend to hold Bitcoin long-term.

Ju argued that the structural change in the market and Bitcoin is evident, and that the liquidity channels flowing into BTC have become more diversified, making it difficult to predict the timing of fund inflows.

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju also noted that the funds recently flowing into Bitcoin have now dried up, and investor interest is shifting to traditional assets such as stocks, gold, and silver.

The CEO stated that due to these changes, the likelihood of Bitcoin experiencing a sharp decline like in the past is low: “This cycle in Bitcoin is different from previous cycles where a sharp drop was seen after the peak. It is likely that the next few months will be a stagnant, boring, and sideways market. At this point, I don’t think we will see a drop of more than 50% from the all-time high as in past bear markets. It will just follow a sideways trend for the next few months.”

Ju also emphasized that the approximately 673,000 BTC held by Strategy (MSTR) are unlikely to enter the market as selling pressure, but rather serve as a defense against downward price movements.
