Bitcoin could be headed for a massive surge, according to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee. He believes that a combination of factors, including the resolution of the Mt. Gox saga and potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, could send Bitcoin soaring to $100,000 or even higher.
Mt. Gox and the Fed
Lee argues that the recent distribution of Bitcoin from the German government, which was feared to crash the market, has passed without any major negative impact. He believes that the upcoming resolution of the Mt. Gox situation, a major Bitcoin exchange hacked in 2014, will also be a positive catalyst for the cryptocurrency.
He further believes that if the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates, it could trigger a significant rally in Bitcoin, similar to the one seen in small-cap stocks.
“Bitcoin is a super volatile asset, so it’s affected by how much is available, not just how much people want it,” Lee explained. “The Mt. Gox situation has been a big overhang for a long time. Once that’s resolved, I think Bitcoin will do really well in the second half of the year.”
Bitcoin’s Rapid Rise
Lee also points out that Bitcoin often makes its biggest gains in short periods of time. “Those ten days could all be in the second half of this year,” he said.
While Bitcoin is currently trading at around $69,136, Lee believes that a combination of these factors could push it to new all-time highs.
