In recent months, the demand for Bitcoin (BTC) has been on the rise, though analysts believe it needs to strengthen further to drive significant price increases. CryptoQuant emphasizes that without stronger demand growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, a substantial price surge may be unlikely.
Latest Developments in Bitcoin Demand
According to CryptoQuant, Bitcoin demand saw steady growth throughout September. However, this increase has not been as strong as earlier in the year. Since July, demand has fluctuated, with net losses of 23,000 BTC turning into gains of up to 69,000 BTC. This suggests that analysts expect more robust growth in the near future.
Historical Trends and 2024 Expectations
Data from April shows a peak in Bitcoin demand, with an increase of 496,000 BTC, driving prices near $70,000. Although the market has yet to reach that level again, there are clear signs of further growth potential. Analysts also note that the behavior of Bitcoin holders in early 2024 mirrors patterns seen during the 2016 and 2020 halving cycles, where long-term holders sold to new buyers, boosting demand.
Looking ahead, these historical trends suggest that another demand spike could be on the horizon, potentially leading to a short-term supply squeeze. This could drive Bitcoin prices higher in the coming months.

The Importance of Spot Bitcoin ETFs
One of the most significant developments in September was the shift in spot Bitcoin ETFs from net selling to net buying. On September 30, 7,000 BTC were purchased, marking the highest daily volume since July. This signals a strong demand in the market. Furthermore, in the first quarter of 2024, spot ETFs are expected to purchase around 9,000 BTC daily, contributing to a potential price surge.
The role of spot ETFs is becoming increasingly crucial in shaping the market. As Bitcoin demand continues to rise, analysts predict that stronger demand growth, combined with the 2024 halving cycle and the impact of spot ETFs, could lead to significant price increases.
