Head of CryptoQuant: Bitcoin rate will be stable for at least several months, 2026/01/08 09:25:58
In the first quarter of 2026, the price of Bitcoin will most likely remain at the current level, contrary to historical trends, says Ki Young Ju, CEO of the CryptoQuant analytical platform.
According to him, the influx of capital into Bitcoin has practically stopped, and investor interest has switched to traditional assets: stocks and precious metals. The latest trend is especially noticeable against the backdrop of a sharp rise in prices for gold and silver. However, Ki Yong Joo does not expect a collapse in Bitcoin – he believes that the coming months will pass in “boring sideways movement” mode.
“Money just flowed into stocks and precious metals. I don’t think we will see a collapse of more than 50% from the all-time high as we have seen in past bear cycles. There will just be boring sideways movement for the next few months,” wrote analyst X on social media.
