CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has suggested that Tom Lee's consistently bullish outlook on cryptocurrencies may be influenced by his role in sell-side research. Ju noted that Lee maintains a long-to-short ratio of approximately 10:0, only slightly adjusting to 9:1 when acknowledging potential market corrections. This stance, according to Ju, might be a result of Lee's professional obligations, which require a positive market outlook. Despite Lee's public optimism, an internal report from his fund has reportedly predicted a significant correction for Bitcoin and Ethereum, contradicting his earlier claims of new highs by the end of January. This discrepancy highlights the complex dynamics between market predictions and professional roles in financial research.
