BitMine Chairman Tom Lee predicts in a podcast that the market in 2026 will continue the trend of 2025, with blockchain and artificial intelligence receiving policy support, but political disagreements may impact the market. The US stock market is expected to experience a rebound after adjustments, and Bitcoin is also likely to reach new highs, although no target price was mentioned again. Overall, the market faces a "first decline, then rise" situation.

【Blockchain Rhythm】BitMine Chairman Tom Lee recently shared his views on the 2026 market in a podcast. He believes that next year will continue the trend of 2025, with both the blockchain and artificial intelligence industries receiving policy support, but tariff adjustments and political disagreements may serve as initial obstacles to market growth.

Lee expects the US stock market to first experience a 15%-20% correction, followed by a strong rebound by the end of the year driven by more dovish monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. Regarding Bitcoin, he maintains his expectation of it reaching new historical highs, but this time he did not mention the previously stated target price of $250,000.

From his statements, the market in 2026 faces a pattern of “initial suppression followed by rise”—early pressure but ultimately gaining upward momentum. The underlying logic is the support from loose policy environments and industry favorable factors, despite short-term fluctuations caused by political factors.

actually, the whole "15-20% correction then moon" narrative is statistically significant cope if you ask me... like, Lee's basically describing a textbook V-shaped recovery but somehow everyone forgets those don't correlate with tariff volatility 70% of the time, empirically speaking. dude dropped the 250k target though lmao, that's the real tea here

Another new high prediction, this time not even daring to say 250,000.

Tom Lee is back to storytelling again, claiming a 15-20% rebound after a correction. This kind of statement can be heard every year.

Predicting new highs again? I just want to know if it will get crushed again this time. First drop 15-20% then rebound, just listen and don't take it seriously. No new target price given, what about the previous 250,000...

First it drops, then it rises. I'm tired of hearing this explanation.
