Ethereum Poised for V-Shaped Recovery, Says #TomLee


Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee projects that $ETH will experience another rapid rebound after recent price declines. Lee pointed to historical data showing Ethereum has recovered from similar drops eight times since 2018.


Speaking at a Hong Kong conference on Wednesday, Lee reminded investors that #Ethereum has fallen more than 50% on eight separate occasions since 2018. Each time, the asset formed a V-shaped bottom and recovered at nearly the same speed as the decline, he said.


Lee referenced last year's 64% drop from January to March as an example. Despite the severity of that drawdown, $ETH eventually recovered. Lee stated that current conditions mirror previous cycles, suggesting another V-shaped recovery is likely.


Market analyst Tom DeMark identified $1,890 as a potential bottom level. DeMark expects the price to test this level twice in what he calls an "undercut." Lee described this scenario as a "perfected bottom."


Lee advised investors to focus on opportunities rather than selling. He compared the current situation to similar periods in fall 2018, fall 2022, and April 2025. Investors who have already witnessed the decline should consider buying rather than exiting positions, he added.
