CryptoQuant’s head chief says Bitcoin’s bull market could already be over — changing his stance from earlier in the month when he said the Bitcoin bull cycle will be slow but “is still intact.” “Bitcoin bull cycle is over, expecting 6-12 months of bearish or sideways price action,” CryptoQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju said in a March 17 X post. All signals are currently bearish, says Ju Ju said that all Bitcoin ( BTC ) onchain metrics indicate a bear market. “With fresh liquidity drying up, new whales are selling Bitcoin at lower prices,” Ju said. It comes only days after Cointelegraph reported that Bitcoin funding rates, which reflect the cost of holding long or short positions in crypto futures , are hovering close to 0%, indicating increasing indecisiveness among traders. Ju’s claim is in stark contrast to his March 4 post, where he said the Bitcoin bull cycle will remain slow but “is still intact,” pointing to neutral readings on key indicators. “Fundamentals remain strong, with more mining rigs coming online,” Ju said in a March 4 X post. Other analysts aren’t as bearish. Swyftx lead analyst Pav Hundal told Cointelegraph that “there is no reason to panic.” Hundal explained that while investors are “spooked” by US President Donald Trump’s tariffs, “all the numbers show a global economy that is pointing in the right direction.” “Money will move to on-risk assets when the market is ready to take on risk.” At the time of publication, Bitcoin is trading at $83,030, down 14.79% over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap data.

We are about to see Bitcoin rally again,” crypto analyst Seth said in a recent X post. Likewise, CoinRoutes CEO Dave Weisberger said that if the historical trend persists, Bitcoin could reach all-time highs by late April. “Expect Bitcoin to hit a new ATH within a month if its BETA correlation to money supply holds,” Weisberger said in a March 17 X post.

However, based on historical data, Bitcoin’s current price is 67% lower than the lower bound should be, according to former Phunware CEO Alan Knitowski. “At this stage of the cycle, the lower bound of the historical range should be around $250,000,” Knitowski said in a March 17 X post.
