Bitcoin is showing strong signs of a bull market, according to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju.
He explained that short-term investors are actively buying coins sold by long-term holders, a trend historically associated with rising markets.
Short-term holders typically own Bitcoin for less than 155 days, while long-term holders retain their assets for longer periods.
Ki also highlighted a shift in market behavior: larger investors holding at least one Bitcoin are increasing their holdings, while smaller retail investors with less than one Bitcoin are selling off.
This redistribution reflects a growing influence of larger players and institutions in the market.
He speculated that recent global attention on Bitcoin, partly fueled by President Trump, could prolong the bull cycle into 2026. The transition from retail to institutional dominance, facilitated by ETFs and corporate investments, may reshape the market in the coming quarters.
Ki believes this phase of accumulation and redistribution could last well into next year, signaling a potentially extended bull run.
