Fundstrat Global Advisors co-founder Tom Lee on CNBC again said that Bitcoin is preparing to “shoot” to a record high. The driver of the strengthening of the BTC will be an increase in the S&P 500 stock index.
The businessman emphasized :
“Recently, bitcoin has somehow stalled because macro forecasts have weakened. I think that Bitcoin will not be able to rise without a new trend. The next catalyst will be a breakthrough in the stock markets. ”

According to Tom Lee, securities will rise in price, and Bitcoin will be perceived as a profitable asset. In this situation, cryptocurrency will begin to move in the same direction as the main stock markets. If shares add, then BTC will also go up, said the co-founder of Fundstrat.
Investors can be guided by the dynamics of the S&P 500 index. If by the end of this year this indicator exceeds 3125 points, then the phase of an aggressive bitcoin rally will await us. Now the S&P 500 indicator is about 3000 points.
Lee builds his forecast on the BTC trajectory over the past 10 years. From the very moment of its appearance, bitcoin has shown us highs during the take-off periods of the S&P index, the businessman added.
Tom Lee has repeatedly stated that many investors now regard Bitcoin as a reliable asset .
The coin is most in demand in those countries where various shocks occur. Local investors are moving into those assets that can protect their capital. This list includes bitcoin and gold.
