Tom Lee Signals Renewed Crypto Momentum After Market Shakeout
Fundstrat co-founder and head of research Tom Lee expects the crypto market to stage a strong comeback before the end of the year, pointing to improving technical and fundamental signals across Bitcoin and Ethereum.
According to Lee, the impact of recent liquidations driven by global trade tensions has largely faded, setting the stage for a recovery.
He emphasized that open interest in both Bitcoin and Ethereum has dropped to historic lows – a setup he believes often precedes renewed upward momentum.
Lee also highlighted several key factors supporting his bullish stance. He noted that JPMorgan’s openness to using cryptocurrencies as collateral could accelerate institutional adoption, while Bitcoin’s modest 3 – 4% decline during a recent large-scale deleveraging event underscored its resilience as a store of value.
Ethereum, he added, is showing robust onchain activity – particularly in layer-1, layer-2, and stablecoin sectors – which has yet to be fully reflected in its price. Lee expects this growing network strength to drive a “significant move” in the months ahead.
He further pointed out that cryptocurrencies often act as a leading indicator for market liquidity and equities, suggesting that current price behavior could be signaling broader bullish momentum building into year-end.
