The Long-Term Obsession of a Renowned Analyst: The Market Truth Behind the Shift from 10:0 to 9:1
【Chain Wen】How deep is the obsession of bullish analysts? CryptoQuant’s CEO Ki Young Ju recently posted an interesting observation—he focused on the changing attitude of Wall Street renowned analyst Tom Lee.
This guy has been essentially a hardcore bull in the market, with a long-short ratio maintained at an exaggerated 10:0 for years. But this time, it’s different. As the risk of market correction becomes increasingly hard to ignore, he finally compromised a bit—admitting that a decline is possible, shifting the ratio to 9:1. This shift may seem subtle, but it actually represents a significant attitude concession.
Ki Young Ju believes this may stem from the natural mission of sell-side research institutions—they must provide a relatively balanced risk assessment, even if it makes the analysts feel a bit awkward.
Interestingly, Tom Lee’s internal research report gives a completely different signal. They warn that BTC and ETH face deep correction risks, which starkly contrasts with his public statements claiming “new highs by the end of January.”
It seems even the steadfast bulls have to find some balance between reality and ideals.
---
To put it bluntly, the selling institutions still need to maintain their image, they have to pretend to be balanced
---
Internal reports contradict public statements, this trick is also a classic operation on Wall Street
---
When the iron-blooded long positions compromise, it’s time to be vigilant...
---
Is 9:1 still called a significant concession? I think this guy is still bullish at heart
---
Wait, what signal does the internal research report send? Did the article suddenly stop?
---
This is the double life of analysts
---
From 10:0 to 9:1, it looks subtle but is actually hypocritical, the real thoughts are still in the internal report.
---
To be honest, sell-side institutions have to take the opposite stance; publicly bullish but privately... aren't you guys the same?
---
Wait, what does the internal fund report say? It feels even more complicated.
---
Laughing to death, still maintaining a persona, the real thoughts are all kept inside.
---
What does this indicate? Market risk is indeed increasing, even the hardcore bulls have to admit some weakness.
---
Is 9:1 still bullish? It's just surface-level talk. What's there to get excited about?
---
Inconsistency between internal and external signals is the most frightening; that's the real warning sign.
