Could Bitcoin’s Mysterious January 15th Trigger a Mega-Surge or Clandestine Crash?

Fundstrat’s chief investment officer, Tom Lee, has asserted that the current Bitcoin price of around $90,000 represents a favorable entry point for long-term investors, despite warnings that the price could drop below $70,000. In a recent interview, Lee noted that although Bitcoin is down 15% from its all-time high, this is not unusual for such a volatile asset.

Lee suggests that Bitcoin might dip to $70,000 before rallying again, with a less likely scenario seeing it fall to the $50,000 range. He emphasizes that these fluctuations should not deter investors, as Bitcoin is poised to be one of the best-performing assets of the year. Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, believes the ongoing high-inflation narrative could create challenges for Bitcoin, potentially pushing its value down to $69,000 if certain resistance levels are breached.


Lee points to January 15 as a crucial date for both Bitcoin and the stock market, coinciding with the release of Consumer Price Index inflation data. He advises investors to withstand any short-term volatility. Despite regulatory uncertainties and economic factors such as potential tightening of the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, VanEck and Bitwise asset managers remain optimistic, predicting Bitcoin could reach between $180,000 and $200,000 by the end of 2025, particularly if the US establishes a Bitcoin reserve. As of now, Bitcoin has recovered to $94,650, reflecting a 5.4% increase over the past 11 hours.
