Bitcoin’s price is expected to remain stagnant in the first quarter of 2026, according to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju. With capital inflows into Bitcoin drying up, Ju predicts a “boring sideways” trend as investors turn to stocks and precious metals, with Bitcoin trading at around $90,890.

Contrary to historical trends, Bitcoin is forecasted to show little movement in the first quarter of 2026. January has historically seen a modest return of 3.81%, while February and March have delivered stronger gains. Market sentiment remains subdued, with the Fear & Greed Index indicating “fear” at a score of 28.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs are gaining momentum in 2026, with $925.3 million in net inflows over the first three trading days. While Ju offers a conservative outlook, others like Tim Draper and Ryan Rasmussen predict a bullish year for Bitcoin, with Draper anticipating mainstream adoption and Rasmussen expecting new all-time highs, breaking the traditional four-year cycle.
