Although Tom Lee (Chairman of Bitmine and Co-founder and Head of Research at Fundstrat Global Advisors) continuously maintains a bullish outlook on BTC and ETH, the report for the private client group shows that Fundstrat's crypto outlook is cautious in the short term, especially with Ethereum.
In the Crypto Outlook 2026 report, Sean Farrell, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Fundstrat, presents a defensive base case scenario for the first half of 2026. He estimates that the market will experience a significant correction, in which:
- BTC could drop to the range of 60,000 to 65,000 USD
- ETH to about 1,800 to 2,000 USD
- SOL to about 50 to 75 USD
These price levels are seen as attractive long-term buying opportunities. Farrell stated that he prioritizes maintaining a defensive stance until the market clearly reaffirms strength.
