With his recent audacious estimate that Bitcoin may surge to $265,000 if it keeps a price over $45,000, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has offered some relief to investors who may already be feeling there’s not much room for the crypto to grow.
The study of BTC’s market basics, especially its hashrate to market cap ratio, which points to significant development potential for the top cryptocurrency, helps one to have this hopeful view.
Bitcoin: Current Landscape
Bitcoin is now trading just a little under $57,000 and has slightly retreated over 1% in the last 24 hours. Ju’s prognosis shows, in spite of these swings, that the network foundations of Bitcoin are better than ever.
As long as the #Bitcoin price stays above $45K, it could break its all-time high again within a year, imo.
Some indicators are showing bearish signals. However, they could still recover with a rebound, so we need to watch if it stays at this level for a week or two.

He notes that some technical indicators are flashing negative signals. However, these could still make a rebound, so investors should keep a close tab on further price swings if it stays at this level for a week or two.
Analysts are eagerly observing these changes as a steady BTC price along with a drop in dominance might indicate the start of a “altcoin season,” in which investors turn to other cryptocurrencies.
Altcoin Season’s Prospect
Some experts believe August might be a crucial month for cryptocurrencies even if Bitcoin’s dominance is peaking. They said Bitcoin’s price usually stabilizes during this time, which provides an ideal environment for altcoins to flourish. This positive attitude is reinforced by the rising activity from crypto whales, who are apparently building robust buy barriers for alternative currencies.
Ki Young Ju recently observed a notable increase in cryptocurrency limit purchase orders, suggesting institutional investors are getting ready for a possible surge. This pattern points to significant accumulation of altcoins like Solana (SOL), Cosmos (ATOM), and Polygon (MATIC), which would prepare the ground for a more general cryptocurrency explosion.
Future Direction And Market Dynamics
The volatility of the bitcoin market is well-known, hence forecasts might differ greatly. Strong fundamentals underpin Ju’s projection of Bitcoin smashing into ATH territory, although other analysts have proposed even more high objectives.
Some experts think that Bitcoin could reach as much as $1 million in the next few years, thanks to rising demand and the next “halving event,” which will cut the number of Bitcoins in circulation.
Meanwhile, co-founder of Fundstrat Tom Lee has reflected on this positive attitude, saying that BTC may yet hit $150,000 this year. Based on the stock-to-flow model, which has consistently shown accurate price forecasts, the pseudonymous analyst PlanB has advised that the top coin might reach $500,000.
Under experts like Ki Young Ju leading the charge, the next months might prove to be crucial for both Bitcoin and the larger ecosystem of cryptocurrencies.
