Tom Lee: The market will experience a decline followed by a rebound in 2026, and Bitcoin is expected to reach a new all-time high.

In an interview, Tom Lee stated that the cryptocurrency and stock markets will experience a sharp decline in 2026 due to geopolitical tensions, tariff risks, and political divisions. Lee predicts a potential 15% to 20% correction in the US stock market this year, but expects a strong rebound by the end of the year as the Federal Reserve shifts to a dovish stance and quantitative tightening ends. Regarding Bitcoin, Lee still anticipates it will reach a new all-time high this year, which he believes will be a key milestone in the market's complete recovery from the deleveraging event of October 10th. Lee pointed out that energy, basic materials, and gold are high-quality asset allocations in 2026, while the AI ​​and blockchain industries will continue to benefit from growth dividends. Furthermore, Benjamin Cowen, CEO of Into The Cryptoverse, expressed a similar view, believing that metals may once again outperform cryptocurrencies in 2026.
