Bitcoin’s New High? 2026’s Wild Ride 🚀

What to know:

Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors, the crypto prophet, predicts Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high by January 2026. 🚀
Lee forecasts a volatile but ultimately positive 2026 for crypto, with a “strong second half” that’s sure to make sense. 🤯
He projects the S&P 500 to hit 7,700 by 2026, thanks to “AI-driven productivity gains” and corporate earnings that are obviously not a mirage. 📈

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, ever the optimist, declared Monday that Bitcoin hasn’t peaked yet. “We were overly optimistic about achieving the high-water mark before December,” he said, “but I do believe Bitcoin can hit a new all-time high by January 2026. So, don’t assume crypto prices have already peaked. 🤷‍♂️”

The call comes after a late-2025 pullback, which Lee frames as a “strategic reset.” A reset, he insists, is not a sign of weakness but a “digestion phase” following “multiple years of outsized gains.” How very… digestible. 🥗

Lee’s past predictions? Well, in August he forecast Bitcoin would surpass $200,000 before the end of last year. It hit $126,000. A mere $74,000 short. 🤔

For Ethereum, Lee’s bullishness is “undervalued,” though the crypto peaked at $4,830 in 2025-far below his $15,000 target. Still, he’s buying more, because “acquiring an asset that can appreciate by 10 times is a strategic necessity.” For whom? The treasury or the ego? 🐉

On the S&P 500, Lee’s projection of 7,700 by 2026 is “supported by an EPS story that’s far more resilient than the bears are giving it credit for.” The bears, of course, are the realists. 🧠

Still, Lee remains defiant. “There’s a lot to be optimistic about in 2026,” he says, as if the universe isn’t a chaotic, unpredictable mess. 🌍
