Bitcoin faces ‘boring sideways’ grind in coming months: CryptoQuant CEO￼

Bitcoin’s price may stay flat in the first quarter of 2026, even though historical trends suggest otherwise, says CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju.

“Capital inflows into Bitcoin have dried up,” Ju said on Wednesday, adding that investor interest has returned to “stocks and shiny rocks” as the price of gold and silver have skyrocketed.

Ju added that Bitcoin (BTC) is unlikely to crash from its peak as it has done in the past, and expected “just boring sideways for the next few months.”

Bitcoin is trading at around $90,890 at the time of publication, down over 2% in the past day and has fallen from a high this week of $94,400, according to CoinMarketCap.￼

Bitcoin trading sideways would go against trends

The lack of any real price movement in the first quarter of 2026 would counter how Bitcoin has historically performed.

The month of January has historically been a more modest month for Bitcoin, averaging a 3.81% return since 2013. February and March have delivered far stronger historic gains of 13.12% and 12.21% respectively, according to CoinGlass.

Ju’s comments come after veteran trader Peter Brandt and Fidelity’s director of macroeconomic research, Jurrien Timmer, floated the possibility of Bitcoin this year falling as low as $65,000, or even $60,000.

Sentiment in the market has been recently subdued, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, floating between “fear” and “extreme fear” since early November. On Thursday, the index posted a “fear” score of 28.
