Tom Lee from Fundstrat believes that Bitcoin (BTC) could experience significant growth if the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates.
In an interview, Lee pointed out that Bitcoin’s stability despite recent large distributions, such as the one from the German government, is a positive sign. He suggested that the completion of the Mt. Gox payouts without market turmoil could further bolster Bitcoin’s prospects.
Lee explained that Bitcoin’s volatility is influenced by both supply and demand factors. He noted that the successful handling of major coin distributions indicates resilience in the market. Specifically, the Mt. Gox distribution, which has been a long-standing concern since the original hack, seems to be nearing resolution.
According to Lee, once this overhang is cleared and the market sees that there has been no catastrophic impact, confidence in Bitcoin could increase significantly.
Looking ahead, Lee argued that if the Federal Reserve begins to lower interest rates, it could act as a major boost for Bitcoin, potentially driving it to new highs, possibly even $100,000. He emphasized that Bitcoin often sees its most substantial gains in short, concentrated periods.
Historically, these significant upswings have occurred in just a few trading days each year. Lee anticipates that if the Fed starts a rate-cutting cycle, Bitcoin could see one of these rapid appreciation phases in the latter half of the year
