Well-known analyst Tom Lee recently stated that Ethereum may break into the $7,000-$9,000 range by early 2026, and in the long term, it could even surpass the $20,000 mark.

His outlook on Bitcoin is equally optimistic. Lee believes that as a store of value with a limited supply, Bitcoin may initiate a recovery rally next year, with a target directly at $200,000.

This view reflects the market's relatively positive attitude toward the medium-term prospects of mainstream cryptocurrencies. Whether it is Ethereum or Bitcoin, both face multiple influencing factors from macroeconomic environments, policy directions, and institutional allocations. For long-term holders, such analysis might be worth considering as one of the reference dimensions.

ETH1,13%

BTC1,42%

Tom Lee is once again making wild predictions, $200,000 Bitcoin? I just want to ask who is buying at this price level. Wait, can Ethereum really reach 20,000? Just looking at this number makes me a bit nervous. The market might start next year? Let's first see if it can stabilize now. Just listen to the analysts' words, don't really go all in, everyone. If this prediction comes true, I’ll just lie flat, but the probability... hmm. I still believe in long-term holding, but this price target is indeed a bit aggressive. Another bullish voice, why isn't anyone pouring cold water? $200,000 belongs to the logic of "as long as I don't take profits, I will never lose." By 2026, who knows how many black swans will have flown by then.

Another prediction to cut leeks, believe it or not Tom Lee is dreaming again? $200,000 Bitcoin... alright, I'll wait and see These numbers sound pretty good, but if it really reaches that level next year, I'll eat my phone live on stream ETH at 7000-9000... just thinking about it is ridiculous, now even this height is difficult Every time they say long-term optimism, no one mentions how they cut in the short term How did this guy's prediction from last year turn out? Can someone tell me? According to him, should I go all-in now? Such optimistic comments every day, only a fool would believe them Wait, is this another round of bloodsucking starting again? Tom Lee: I predicted it, making money is my insight, losing money is your lack of vision

Haha, Tom Lee is starting to tell stories again. This time, is the goal directly doubled? I just want to know who is buying 200,000 BTC. Same old story, long-term holders can listen but don't take it seriously as food. The figure of 7000-9000 for Ethereum sounds like it was calculated by toes. It would be good if there is a recovery next year, don't think too much, everyone. Lee's analysis is always so optimistic. I wonder if he truly believes it or is just riding the hype. Sounds good, but it still depends on macro and policy factors. Take analysts' words as a reference.

Tom Lee is back to making predictions, always so optimistic... but I still have to hold on, what if he's right? --- $200,000? smh dreaming, we're not even at 100k yet. --- As a long-term holder, I just want to ask, can I still get in early in 2026? --- It's Tom Lee again. How many times have his predictions been accurate? Anyway, I believe him. --- Just look at it, don't take it seriously... the macro environment is so complex. --- Ethereum $20,000? That's crazy, how many times would that be a rise?

Here we go again, I’ve heard everything Tom Lee has said... Wait, $200,000 Bitcoin? How does this guy stay so optimistic every time? Just hold long-term, don’t let these target prices mess with your mindset. $7,000-$9,000 Ethereum is possible, but who knows what new reasons they’ll come up with when that time comes. Anyway, I’ll keep stacking, regardless of what analysts say. If this wave really hits $200k, I’ll retire immediately... but what are the chances? It’s not the first time I’ve heard this kind of prediction, let’s see next year. I’m just afraid that when the market turns, analysts will have already changed their tune haha.

Here comes Tom Lee's prediction again, always so optimistic... Is $200,000 BTC real? We'll have to wait until next year to find out. ETH reaching 9000 is not a dream; it depends on whether we can hold out until early 2026. This guy's words sound nice, but who can predict the macro environment? Long-term holders, just listen and don't take this as gospel.
