The story of Bitcoin's king's return is not over yet. Wall Street analyst and Fundstrat founder Tom Lee's latest view directly points out: Bitcoin's current rally is far from peaking, and it is expected to hit new all-time highs before the end of January 2026, surpassing the previous high of approximately $126,000.

Where does his confidence come from? Although market corrections occur from time to time, the key is the continuous influx of institutional funds. Major financial institutions like US banks have opened the door to allow financial advisors to allocate to Bitcoin ETFs. Coupled with the global geopolitical situation boosting risk aversion sentiment, Bitcoin is being repositioned as a gold-level defensive asset. This wave of capital has just begun.

Even more interestingly, Tom Lee's outlook on Ethereum is equally optimistic. He believes ETH is about to enter a "super cycle," with growth potential that could even surpass Bitcoin itself. This is not baseless — increasing institutional influence, market confidence recovery, and expectations of technological upgrades are all brewing undercurrents.

Of course, 2026 won't be smooth sailing. Volatility is inevitable, but the overall direction is definitely upward — this is Tom Lee's core judgment.

Tom Lee is at it again, always saying we're going to hit new highs. But what about the fact that institutions are actually putting real money into the market? That's the real deal.

Wow, Tom Lee is at it again. Can 126k really be reached? I always feel like everything this guy says should be taken with a grain of salt. Institutional entry is indeed a positive signal, but this wave of chopping the leeks is just the same old trick. ETH super cycle? Sounds good, but isn't it just gambling? I can't take it anymore.

Tom Lee is at it again, always saying "far from the top," and I just want to ask what his prediction accuracy rate is. Institutional funds entering the market is indeed a positive sign, but can we stop just focusing on the numbers? The key is still the policy direction moving forward. ETH super cycle? Alright, let's place a bet. Anyway, I'm used to losing money. The number 126k sounds magical, but 2026 is still early, and there are too many variables in between. Wall Street analysts' words are just for listening; they are betting themselves too. The institutional allocation of Bitcoin ETFs is real; this logic holds up, but the volatility is still frightening. Feels like this wave is another story of the cycle top, but who made us all gamblers?

Tom Lee is at it again, always saying it will hit a new high, but as for the result... That said, the institutional entry is indeed a bit different. Whether the 127k breaks or not depends on the Fed's stance first.

Tom Lee is bullish again; this guy really never calls a bear market... But on the other hand, it's a fact that institutions are really pouring money in. --- $126,000? I don't buy your nonsense. Anyway, I'll get on the train first and see. --- ETH super cycle? Brother, are you dreaming or do you have some inside information... --- Wall Street stories are told quite smoothly, but listening to too much makes it easy to get chopped up by the market. --- Peak in 2026? Then I have to hold on for two more years. Is this still investing? This is a test of patience. --- Institutional funds are flowing in, that's true, but those guys haven't spared retail investors either... Better to be cautious. --- Here we go again, every time they say the market will go up without issue, but no one can predict exactly when it will happen.
