Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee has reaffirmed his bullish stance on 
Bitcoin and 
Ethereum, predicting that Bitcoin could reach $100,000 and Ethereum $7,500 by the end of the year. This outlook was presented in an October 7 event and has gained attention through social media posts.
Lee, who also chairs Bitmine Immersion Technologies, attributes the potential rally to increasing institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. He believes that this adoption could support an extended market rally, building on the current momentum.
Market data shows that Bitcoin has recovered slightly from yesterday's lows, currently trading at $30,007 with a 24-hour increase of 0.30%. Ethereum is also up by 0.23% in the last 24 hours, trading at $2,498.11. However, both cryptocurrencies face important resistance levels that could challenge their recovery.
Cardano, which has seen two consecutive bullish days, presents a different technical picture. It is currently trading at $0.247545, down 3.38% in the last 24 hours but up 1.25% over the past week. This suggests that while some cryptocurrencies are showing signs of recovery, the overall market is still navigating resistance.
The total crypto market cap stands at $2.87 trillion, with the Fear & Greed Index at 61, indicating 'Greed' in the market. This suggests that while sentiment is positive, it is not yet at extreme levels, leaving room for potential further growth.
