Tom Lee expects Bitcoin and Ethereum rally after record gold and silver prices pause

Fundstrat managing partner Tom Lee told CNBC on Monday that Bitcoin and Ethereum could see a strong move higher once record-breaking rallies in gold and silver cool down. He argued that a weaker dollar and an easier Federal Reserve should already be supporting crypto, but recent deleveraging and fear-driven flows into precious metals are delaying the upside. On-chain and market analysts added that for Bitcoin to benefit from dollar weakness, it needs risk-on sentiment rather than panic-driven demand for traditional safe-haven assets.
