Fundstradt's Tom Lee recently offered fresh insights into Bitcoin's future performance.
He discussed potential price movements for the leading cryptocurrency, currently trading at around $96,000 after recovering from $89,900 earlier this week. Back in December, Bitcoin had reached a record high of $108,268.
Lee suggested that Bitcoin’s 15% decline from its recent peak is a typical correction for an asset with such high volatility. He pointed out that the cryptocurrency’s trajectory often aligns with global liquidity trends and indicated that Bitcoin could see further declines, potentially dropping to $70,000 in the near term.
According to Lee and his team at Fundstrat, this phase represents an opportunity for investors to capitalize on lower prices before the asset regains momentum. He also speculated that a dip to the $50,000 range could serve as a springboard for Bitcoin to begin its next significant rally.
Despite the possibility of further corrections, Lee expressed confidence in Bitcoin’s potential to be one of the top-performing assets this year. Supporting this bullish sentiment, institutional investors like MicroStrategy have continued to strengthen their positions.
