Tom Lee Declares Bullish End to 2026 for Crypto With Bitcoin Over $100,000 and Ethereum Over $5,000
Tom Lee declares bullish end to 2026 for crypto.
Bitcoin is expected to trade over $100,000 by year’s end.
Ethereum is expected to trade over $5,000 by year’s end.
The crypto market enters the mid-month of July, showing a stagnant movement for crypto prices for the start of Q3. So far, Bitcoin is trading just above $60,000 and Ethereum is trading just above $1,700. With all asset value falling extravagantly over the last 9 months, sentiments are bearish. Despite this, Tom Lee declares bullish end to 2026 for crypto with Bitcoin over $100,000 and Ethereum over $5,000.
Tom Lee Declares Bullish End for Crypto
The crypto community is filled with prominent figures. In this space, we have analysts and traders who have been in the industry since its inception. So far, many have come up with unique ways to monitor and understand the market and make accurate predictions. While some figures have a greater accuracy rate than others, every figure has made a huge contribution to the space with their many observations.
Besides these long-time traders and analysts, we also have many crypto leaders in the space. These individuals include prominent names and faces like Michael Saylor, Elon Musk, Tom Lee, Nayib Bukele, and many others whose voices and actions helped legitimize the crypto space across borders, making crypto assets the driving financial forces in the world as we now know it.
With the current state of the crypto market being in a heavily bearish phase, many experts and figures have been sharing their latest point of views and new observations based on the ever-changing global metrics. At the moment, most traders and analysts are certain that the crypto market is moving towards a heavily bearish state, likely allowing BTC and altcoins to set a bear market bottom.
Can Bitcoin Go Over $100,000 and Ethereum Over $5,000
Once this bottom is set, the crypto market is expected to bounce back up and run at a much faster pace than where it is currently trading. In fact, Tom Lee, the leader of Bitmine Immersion believes that the crypto market will close in a bullish state by the end of 2026. Recently, he declared that Bitcoin will go back over $10,000 while Ethereum will go on to hit prices above $5,000 by the end of this year.
As we can see from the video in the post above, he sets a clear test for whether the crypto thesis still holds. In detail, he sees Bitcoin price above $100,000 and Ethereum back over $5,000 by the end of the year as Bitcoin has been down three quarters in a row but never four, so a June-to-September bounce is the test, and no bounce would mean something’s broken. The real floor is production cost, where Bitcoin sits about 5% below it now, and falling to half of production cost would mean the network itself can’t be supported.
