Fundstrat’s Circulating 2026 Crypto Outlook Warns of Pullback, Contrasting Tom Lee
Fundstrat Global Advisors allegedly circulated an internal 2026 crypto outlook that predicts a meaningful drawdown in the first half of 2026, with Bitcoin targeted at $60,000‑$65,000, Ether at $1,800‑$2,000, and Solana at $50‑$75. The report, attributed to head of digital asset strategy Sean Farrell, contrasts sharply with Fundstrat managing partner Tom Lee’s recent public bullish comments, where he forecast Bitcoin could reach $250,000 and Ether could climb well above $3,000. Authenticity of the circulating document remains unverified, though several crypto‑focused accounts claim it was shared with internal clients. Meanwhile, Lee’s BitMine fund continued to amass Ether, holding roughly 3.9 million ETH, about 3.2% of total supply.
