Tom Lee, in a recent interview, predicted a recovery in the cryptocurrency market by 2026, describing the current phase as a "mini winter" rather than a prolonged bear market. He advised investors to start accumulating cryptocurrencies at lower levels rather than waiting for a perfect bottom, suggesting that the market discomfort could last several months to half a year. Lee remains optimistic about Ethereum (ETH), which he believes is near its bottom, potentially dipping below $1,800. He highlighted ETH's historical pattern of V-shaped recoveries and its long-term potential as a foundational layer for stablecoins, AI, and the creator economy. Additionally, Lee reiterated his forecast that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $200,000–$250,000 by 2026, with Ethereum potentially hitting $12,000–$22,000 based on historical ratios.
