Institutions are buying, retail investors are scared; I've seen this script too many times.

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee believes the current crypto structure resembles the early stages of a new bull market — not a bear-market rally. �

And his reasoning is interesting.
According to Lee: 🔶 Bitcoin recently printed multiple consecutive monthly gains
🔶 institutional activity keeps increasing
🔶 technical structure is improving
🔶 long-term positioning remains constructive
Historically, Bitcoin rarely produces this type of behavior during true bear markets.
That’s why some analysts believe the market may currently be inside a: ➡️ volatile accumulation phase
➡️ rather than a macro collapse
Still, the environment remains extremely unstable.
Markets are dealing with: ▫️ geopolitical tensions
▫️ rising oil prices
▫️ Fed uncertainty
▫️ leverage-driven volatility
So while long-term structure may remain bullish… short-term price action can still become very violent.
This is where many traders get trapped.
They confuse: 🔶 volatility with trend failure
🔶 corrections with cycle death
But historically, Bitcoin bull cycles often include: ▫️ brutal shakeouts
▫️ heavy liquidations
▫️ sentiment collapses
▫️ aggressive fear phases
before continuation higher.
Tom Lee also believes Ethereum could eventually outperform later in the cycle if momentum stabilizes properly. �

Right now, the market appears stuck between: 🔸 strong institutional accumulation
🔸 and weak retail confidence
And that combination creates the perfect environment for extreme volatility.
The next few weeks around the $79K–$81K Bitcoin range may decide whether the market confirms another major bullish phase… or enters a much deeper correction first. ⚠️
