Renowned for his audacious predictions about Bitcoin (BTC), Tom Lee, the Managing Director of Fundstrat, has once again grabbed attention. Despite the rollercoaster ride of Bitcoin’s price in recent weeks, Lee remains steadfast in his belief that the leading cryptocurrency will experience significant gains this year.
In an interview with CNBC, Lee dismissed claims that the bull market cycle driving Bitcoin’s ascent has come to an end. He argued that Bitcoin, along with other asset classes, has yet to fully factor in the Federal Reserve’s potential adoption of a looser monetary policy, which can sometimes exert pressure on the markets.
Lee confidently affirmed, “Bitcoin is still in the early stages of its upward trajectory. That’s why we maintain our expectation of it reaching $150,000 this year. I believe that the Fed’s outlook on inflation, coupled with its relatively dovish stance, is helping to create a more accommodative market environment. This process, in turn, is contributing to the market’s recovery.”
Furthermore, Lee weighed in on the U.S. stock markets, which typically move in sync with Bitcoin. He predicted that more publicly traded companies will report robust quarterly earnings growth this quarter. Additionally, he noted that trillions of dollars currently sitting outside the markets are gradually flowing into them, giving the markets a much-needed boost. Lee emphasized that the earnings growth of U.S. publicly traded companies in the stock markets is on the rise and will continue to climb.
