Crypto Bear Market May Persist Until Early 2027, Predicts CryproQuant Founder

Cryptocurrency markets have been experiencing a prolonged bear run, with many investors struggling to recoup their losses. In a recent social media post, CryproQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju shared his insights on the current market trend, suggesting that it may last until early 2027.

According to Ju, the key factor driving this prolonged downturn is the 'chain reaction' of profit-taking among investors. When profits are taken, it often leads to a decline in the PnL (profit and loss) levels, which can persist for about 18 months. This trend has already been observed in October 2025, and Ju believes that it will only reverse when unrealized profits begin to rise again.

In the current market, we have not yet seen a reversal of this trend, with investors continuing to experience losses. To turn the tide, Ju expects to see an increase in unrealized profits, which would signal a shift towards a more favorable market environment. However, until then, investors are likely to face continued challenges.
