Stock bull and crypto-optimist Tom Lee doesn’t give up. He still expects $250K for Bitcoin by the end of next year. And in the long run — even a million.
“Bitcoin must settle above $120K by the end of the year. $200K? Maybe. $250K? Why not,” he said on the Coin Stories podcast
🟡 His previous forecast for $250K — from November 2024, deadline — in 12 months
🟡 In the long term, Lee sees $1M as a quite realistic goal
🤔 What others think:
🟡 BitMEX and Unchained are also not against $250K
🟡 Bernstein and Standard Chartered — cautious $200K
🟡 Markus Thielen (10x Research) — modest $160K
🟡 Matt Hougan from Bitwise believes that the halving cycle is dead and real growth will be in 2026
📉 Market sentiment:
🟡 BTC has retraced from $123K to $112K
🟡 The fear and greed index has dropped from 60 (greed) to 54 (neutral)
🟡 But Lee is confident: “Skepticism is good. It creates space for surprises”
When all bulls become bears — the market is ready for a pump again.
