Tom Lee: Market to Experience a Rebound After a Decline in 2026, Bitcoin Expected to Reach New All-Time High

Odaily News Tom Lee stated in an interview that due to geopolitical tensions, tariff risks, and political divisions, the cryptocurrency and stock markets will experience a sharp decline in 2026. Tom Lee expects the U.S. stock market could see a 15% to 20% correction this year. However, as the Federal Reserve shifts to a dovish policy and quantitative tightening ends, the market will stage a strong rebound by year-end.

Regarding Bitcoin, Tom Lee said he still expects Bitcoin to reach a new all-time high this year. He believes this new high will be a key milestone for the market to completely move past the deleveraging event of October 10th. Tom Lee pointed out that energy, basic materials, and gold are quality allocation assets for 2026, while the AI and blockchain industries will continue to benefit from growth dividends. Additionally, Benjamin Cowen, CEO of Into The Cryptoverse, expressed a similar view, suggesting that metals might outperform cryptocurrencies again in 2026.
