In the digital currency world, the ebbs and flows often leave many investors either leaping with joy or reeling back, waiting for the storm to pass. As of late, the CryptoQuant CEO, Ki Young Ju, has spotlighted a significant shift indicative of a classic bull market pattern emerging in Bitcoin’s arena. His insights provide a clear perspective on current market dynamics, crucial for anyone looking to understand the intricacies of crypto market cycles.

### Bitcoin’s On-Chain Bullish Signals

Ki Young Ju’s observations on X, one of the largest social media platforms, reveal a significant trend: Bitcoin’s movement from long-term holders to short-term investors. Here, short-term holders are defined as those who’ve had their coins for less than 155 days, contrasting with long-term holders who keep their coins inactive for 155 days or more. This transition mirrors behaviors seen in previous bull markets, where seasoned investors begin liquidating assets as newcomers enter the fray.

The ongoing scenario aligns with historical bullish tendencies, which CryptoQuant’s data robustly supports. Ju points out that as older coins move into new hands, this behavior hints at the very definition of a bull market. This narrative is further amplified by Bitcoin’s value, reaching an impressive $98,847 at the time of writing.

### Retail vs. Institutional Dynamics

Beyond the basic definition of holders, another fascinating pattern emerges. Retail investors possessing less than one Bitcoin are offloading, while their larger counterparts—entities with one or more Bitcoins—are actively buying. This behavior reflects a typical distribution pattern, albeit with unique contemporary twists.

Ju interestingly notes, “Typical BTC distribution: Whales —-> Retail Investors.” Yet, this cycle sees the evolution with “Retail Investors (OG) + Whales (OG)” transitioning their assets to “Retail Investors (Paper Bitcoins) + Whales (Institutions).” This reveals a mature market where ‘OGs’—long-standing participants—leave traces on-chain and through exchanges, distinguishing themselves from newcomers engaging through corporate instruments and Bitcoin ETFs.

### Trump’s Impact and The 2026 Bull Run

Adding another layer to this intricate market quilt is the influence of former President Trump’s promotion of Bitcoin on a global scale. According to Ki, this could potentially elongate the bull cycle “another couple of quarters,” reaching possibly into 2026. Hence, old and new cycle footprints highlight global trends affecting Bitcoin’s trajectory.

As retail investors possibly pivot to ‘paper Bitcoins’—instruments like ETFs or corporate stocks—the landscape becomes more complex and institutional influences grow.

### Navigating the Bull Market Ahead

Ju hypothesizes that the full cycle won’t hit its crescendo until mid-next year—possibly extending beyond. This projection is grounded in observing the on-chain activity of both retail traders and institutional whales.

For seasoned and new crypto enthusiasts alike, understanding these current signals is vital to navigating the shifting tides of Bitcoin’s bull market. Keeping an eye on these trends, both on-chain and market-wide, provides clarity in the chaotic world of cryptocurrencies.
