As of 17 September 2025 (UTC), the panel annotated a spot marker at $116,453, a ceiling at $208,310 and a floor at $41,662, with the dashboard showing it was \u201clast run\u201d two hours prior. In other words, the model currently locates Bitcoin well above its inferred floor and still materially below the band it treats as an overvaluation zone.<\/p>\n
The implication of Ki\u2019s share is not a guarantee, but a statement that, given prevailing on-chain capital inflows and the realized-cap structure, the market has room\u2014by this metric\u2014to extend toward that $208,000 upper band.<\/p>\n
Realized cap values the network by summing each coin at the price it last moved on-chain rather than the current market price, a construction that tends to track investor cost basis over time. CryptoQuant\u2019s dashboard projects dynamic \u201cfloor\u201d and \u201cceiling\u201d bands around spots that, historically, have framed multi-year expansions and contractions.<\/p>\n
Ki\u2019s renewed bullishness ties those bands to what he describes as surging demand pressure visible in settlement flows and ETF-linked capital migration onto the network. The continuity with his February 2024 note is explicit: then he cited exchange-traded product inflows as the dominant driver of an advance toward six figures; now he points to \u201ctoo much capital inflows onchain\u201d while circulating a model that places the ceiling near $208,000.<\/p>\n
It is noteworthy that Ki is not presenting an open-ended forecast but rather a model snapshot that updates with market structure. The same dashboard that prints a $208,310 ceiling today also marks the risk floor at $41,662, underscoring the spread of outcomes the realized-cap approach contemplates. His track record with the $112,000 \u201cthis year\u201d guidance\u2014followed by a print just above $108,000\u2014will inevitably color how traders receive the new post.<\/p>\n
But the framing remains analytical: a data readout of where Bitcoin sits relative to its realized-value envelope after a year and a half defined by US spot ETF adoption and deepening institutional participation. For now, Ki\u2019s message is simple and blunt\u2014\u201cI\u2019m bullish on Bitcoin\u201d\u2014and anchored in the same on-chain lens he used 10 months ahead of the 2024 peak.<\/p>\n
Whether the market ultimately approaches the model\u2019s $208,000 ceiling will depend on how those on-chain inflows evolve against macro liquidity, ETF and corporate treasury demand as well as miners\u2019 supply behavior. What his chart makes clear is that, by CryptoQuant\u2019s realized-cap bands, Bitcoin has not yet tested the top of its statistical range in this cycle.<\/p>\n
At press time, BTC traded at $116,173.<\/p>\n
