Tom Lee responds to Fundstrat Bitcoin viewpoint "contradictory" controversy: different positions, different cycles, not internal disagreements

After Fundstrat’s Bitcoin outlook sparked controversy, co-founder Tom Lee responded, stating that the so-called “contradictory predictions” are actually research conclusions based on different roles and timeframes, not internal disagreements. Previously, Sean Farrell, head of Fundstrat’s digital asset strategy, suggested that Bitcoin might retreat to the $60,000–$65,000 range in the first half of 2026; meanwhile, Tom Lee believes Bitcoin could reach new highs, potentially surging to $200,000 as early as the beginning of 2026. A Fundstrat client explained on X that Farrell focuses on risk management and drawdown control, Lee emphasizes macro liquidity and structural adoption, while technical analysts make independent judgments based on chart patterns. Tom Lee responded with “Well stated,” which is seen as an acknowledgment of the above distinctions. (CoinDesk)
