According to ChainCatcher, regarding the contradictory outlook on Bitcoin from Tom Lee and his Fundstrat analysts (Tom Lee is very bullish while Fundstrat is bearish), Fundstrat client Cassian posted that the interpretation of this debate is unfair and misleading. Tom Lee retweeted and replied, saying 'Well said.'
Cassian stated: This interpretation is a misrepresentation; the actual situation involves collaboration among different teams, cycles, and responsibilities.
Cassian mentioned that the three core members of Fundstrat have clearly defined roles: Tom Lee is responsible for macro and liquidity frameworks and is the most vocal proponent, holding a long-term positive outlook on crypto assets; Sean Farrell, as the head of digital asset strategy, is responsible for specific crypto portfolio and position adjustments. Assuming BTC pulls back to $60,000-$65,000, he will convert about 50% of the portfolio to cash/stablecoins as a risk control measure rather than a long-term bearish outlook; Mark Newton, from a technical perspective, believes that the October pullback has disrupted the original upward trend, expecting an initial rebound followed by a phase of consolidation and repair, with still room for growth by the end of the year after structural repairs. The three have a high degree of consensus on macro risks: the overall environment in the first half of 2026 will be quite unstable, with the difference being that Sean is responsible for short-term defense, Mark focuses on technical structural repair, and Tom maintains a structurally bullish stance from a longer-term and liquidity perspective.
Cassian stated that he holds a large amount of BitMine stocks, and even if the price retraces by 70%, he will not sell because the risk of "missing out on a big rise" is greater than the reward of "trying to catch the bottom." He emphasized that understanding who is speaking, what their responsibilities are, and what the time frame is, is crucial. Once these pieces are put together, the statement "Fundstrat is contradictory" falls apart.
