In response to the recent shocking “half-cut” market trend in the crypto world, Tom Lee, the Chief Investment Officer of Fundstrat and Chairman of Bitmine, known as the “Wall Street Oracle,” advised investors: instead of苦苦等待那未必抓得住的「絕對底部」, it’s better to start looking for entry opportunities now.
Tom Lee delivered a keynote speech at the “Consensus 2026” conference in Hong Kong on Wednesday, stating: “What you should be thinking about right now is opportunity, not panic selling.”
Since Bitcoin hit a historic high of $126,000 in October 2025, it has retraced nearly 50%, marking the most severe correction since the 2022 crypto winter.
Earlier today (11th), Bitcoin once again fell below the $67,000 level, giving back part of the rally from last weekend’s rebound from $60,000 to $72,000; Ethereum also declined to $1,950, nearly a 3% drop in a single day.
Tom Lee attributes the recent weakness in the crypto market to a chain reaction triggered by extreme volatility in the precious metals market. At the end of January this year, gold’s market value experienced multi-trillion-dollar fluctuations within a single day, causing widespread margin calls and dragging down risk assets including cryptocurrencies.
He further pointed out that although Bitcoin’s performance in 2025 lagged behind gold, this situation is about to reverse. He believes gold prices have peaked this year, while Bitcoin is poised for a comeback, expected to outperform gold again in 2026.
Regarding Ethereum, Tom Lee reminded the market that since 2018, after experiencing a 50% retracement, Ethereum has almost always rebounded strongly each time.
