Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has long shared his bullish insights on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Lee had previously shared how BTC, despite the market quirks, may regain the $100,000 price before the end of the year. In addition, Lee is now betting on Ethereum, adding how the token is poised to reach $9,000 and that its current price drop is a gift for potential investors looking at long-term returns.

Ethereum at $9K? What is Lee trying to say?

“We’ve seen it pull back, with ETH pulling back below 3K. Personally, I think that’s a good starting point. Why do you think this is disconnecting? For something so obvious to you and pretty obvious to me, why are we trading the way we’re trading Ethereum right now? Ethereum and Bitcoin are public tokens, and so their price won’t fundamentally reflect investor perceptions because both Bitcoin and Ethereum are not mature platforms, and innovation is in the coming years, right?”
He later shared how $2500 is a good starting point for investors, as ETH will rise higher in the future.
“And we talked about this a few weeks ago; it was 2,500 for ETH. So I think we’re so close to that. It would actually be ideal for us to actually bleed to that level, because then it’s creating what he calls a buy setup. A bottom in prices for him is when the last seller has sold. So that stock, a stock or crypto, is no longer a new bottom. So what he means is a bad bottom. I think that would be a better situation to see crypto prices go down to $2500, but it could turn anytime, I mean, because the markets don’t have to do that which will be an ideal scenario.
Technical view of ETH


“According to our latest Ethereum price prediction, ETH is expected to rise by 68.25% to reach $5,105.77 by February 25, 2026. According to our technical indicators, the current sentiment is bearish, while the Fear & Greed Index shows 22 (extreme fear/3 days recorded with 433 days green with Ethereum). 11.33% price volatility in the last 30 days.”
