Tom Lee Sees Bitcoin Hitting a New High in January 2026 on Fed Policy Shift

He cites an end to Federal Reserve quantitative tightening as the catalyst.

Overview

  • Fundstrat’s Tom Lee reiterates a forecast for a new Bitcoin all-time high in January 2026 and says a move above $100,000 this year is likely.
  • In a CNBC interview, he argued QT is ending and highlighted 2019, when a QT pause preceded a 17% equity rally in three weeks.
  • Bitcoin recently traded just above $86,700, more than 21% below its level a month earlier following a weak November.
  • Other analysts see potential downside before any rebound, with Benjamin Cowen anticipating a December dip and Peter Brandt cautioning about a slide toward $58,000.
  • Reports discuss unconfirmed odds that Kevin Hassett could replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair, a possibility framed as supportive for digital assets.
