The current market momentum has been slow and gradual, with rapid geopolitical tensions putting pressure on Bitcoin. Trump’s trade war with a volatile market stance has led Bitcoin to encounter multiple bouts of volatility this year, but despite the odds, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee believes Bitcoin and Ethereum have the power to hit $200K and $7K by the end of the year.

Tom Lee’s Bullish Year-End Forecast for BTC and ETH
2025 has been one of the most tumultuous years for Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency industry. The tokens had to go through multiple ups and downs, with the rising trade war and tariff narratives shaping their next wave of change. However, beating all odds, Bitcoin managed to hit $120K as its new high, with ETH managing to break the $4K price mark. With the recent bearish blues, analysts project the markets will experience volatility again, with BTC exploring $106K at press time.
However, despite such bearish undercurrents taking control of the market, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee believes BTC and ETH could both hit ambitious price highs by the end of the year.
In an interview with CNBC, Lee agreed on the fact that October crypto liquidations were one of the biggest liquidations recorded in crypto history. However, despite this fact, he believes that this market consolidation is temporary, and the BTF ETH fundamental, including app revenues and activity, is strong, which could help both the coins hit new highs by the year’s end.
“I mean, if I look at everything since October 10th, because that was the biggest liquidation in the history of crypto, like bigger than a margin call. Yeah, it was almost like a miniature rupture, like a tsunami. We’re only a couple of weeks from that. So I think the market is consolidating. But if I look at fundamentals like Ethereum. Stablecoin volumes have been exploding, and application revenues are at an all-time high. So right now, fundamentals are leading the price in crypto. So I think eventually we consolidate, and then we rally into year-end. To 150? Yeah, I think we can still get to 150, 200 for Bitcoin, and then something like 7000 for Ethereum.”
