The post Now is a Bad Time to Exit Bitcoin, Says CryptoQuant CEO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ki Young Ju says Bitcoin is entering a strong long-term opportunity zone. Institutional holders may prevent a deep Bitcoin pullback, keeping the floor higher. Macro liquidity and on-chain data suggest Bitcoin could rebound sooner than many expect. Bitcoin may be under pressure in the short term, but on-chain data shows the market is entering a strong long-term opportunity zone, according to Ki Young Ju, the founder of CryptoQuant. His comments come as Bitcoin attempts to recover from Friday’s sell-off, during which the BTC price fell to around $80,600. Bitcoin Bull Cycle May Have Topped, but the Bottom Looks Higher This Time Ki Young Ju noted that Bitcoin’s broader on-chain cycle technically peaked earlier this year when the asset touched the $100,000 region. In classic market cycle theory, a full retracement toward the realized price, currently around $56,000, would form the next cyclical bottom. However, he believes that scenario is unlikely in this cycle. Large institutional players such as Strategy, whose holdings are effectively off the market, have removed a significant amount of Bitcoin from the circulating supply.  Specifically, Michael Saylor’s Strategy now controls 649,870 BTC. Public firms collectively hold over 1 million BTC, while governments and private firms hold over 518,526 and 426,386 BTC, respectively. With such coins unlikely to be sold, Ju argues that the traditional cycle reset toward $56,000 “may not play out”. In other words, Bitcoin’s floor is much higher than in previous cycles. Favorable Accumulation Zone for Long-Term Holders For spot holders not using leverage, Ju believes the current region represents a “reasonable long-term accumulation zone,” even if price volatility continues.  While noting that he is not trying to time precise entries, he says he remains confident about the market’s long-term direction. He also warned traders considering short positions or panic selling, saying this point in… The post Now is a Bad Time to Exit Bitcoin, Says CryptoQuant CEO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
