Tom Lee urged investors to buy bitcoin during the dip rather than wait for a better moment.
On February 11 at the Consensus Hong Kong 2026 conference, Tom Lee, Managing Partner at Fundstrat, addressed investors directly. He urged them to stop trying to catch the exact market entry point and instead focus on accumulating during the current downturn.
According to Lee, now—when bitcoin is trading nearly 50% below its October 2025 high—is the most favorable time to enter the cryptocurrency market.
He believes that in 2026 BTC could outperform gold in terms of returns, as the period of extreme volatility and the revaluation of the precious metal due to margin requirements may represent a cyclical peak in the coming months.
According to Tom Lee’s forecast, by the end of the year bitcoin’s price will range between $200,000 and $250,000. The executive bases this view on the expectation that macroeconomic liquidity conditions will improve and cryptocurrencies will once again take the lead once risk appetite stabilizes.
As for ether, Lee described the asset as significantly undervalued at current levels. However, the altcoin may briefly fall below $1,800 to reach the so-called “ideal bottom.” In the long term, ETH will rise to $20,000 provided the overall market recovers.
