Renowned for his audacious predictions regarding Bitcoin (BTC), Tom Lee, the Managing Director of Fundstrat, has once again made a splash in the media. Despite the turbulent price fluctuations witnessed in recent weeks, Lee reiterated his belief that the leading cryptocurrency will experience significant gains this year.
In an interview with CNBC, Lee confidently stated that the bull market cycle driving Bitcoin’s ascent is far from over, contradicting those who claim otherwise. He argued that Bitcoin and other asset classes have yet to fully factor in the Federal Reserve’s potential adoption of a more accommodative monetary policy, which can occasionally exert pressure on the markets.
Lee firmly stated, “Bitcoin is still in the early stages of its upward trajectory. Therefore, we maintain our expectation of it reaching $150,000 this year. I believe the Fed’s outlook on inflation and its relatively dovish stance are contributing to a more dovish market sentiment. This, in turn, is driving the market’s recovery.”
In addition to his Bitcoin forecasts, Lee also shared his thoughts on the US stock markets, which typically move in sync with Bitcoin. He anticipated that more publicly traded companies will report robust quarterly earnings growth this quarter. Furthermore, he highlighted the gradual influx of trillions of dollars into the markets from external sources, bolstering market performance. Lee predicted that the earnings growth of publicly traded companies in the US stock markets will continue to rise.
