Fundstrat’s Secret Bitcoin Warning Shocks Crypto Community

• Fundstrat’s private client notes project Bitcoin falling to $60,000-$65,000 in early 2026.
• Tom Lee publicly forecasts Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs by January 2026.

Investment research firm Fundstrat has muddled up the crypto market with contradictory predictions about the Bitcoin price. While their internal advisor for clients is coming from a different outlook than the public statements made by Tom Lee, his comments still remain very upbeat regarding prices hitting record levels by January 2026.

On the contrary, Fundstrat has produced numerous reports and historical data officially showing an anticipated large correction in crypto prices that will likely happen around early 2026 and is advising clients to brace themselves now for this inevitable drop in value.

Private Warnings Clash With Public Optimism

Confidential client notes from Fundstrat suggest that Bitcoin may rebound to a range of $60,000 to $65,000 during the first half of next year. In a statement, the company describes the possible pullback as a “tactical adjustment” rather than a “turning point” for the ongoing bull market cycle.

According to the research team, a series of macroeconomic challenges could progressively weigh on crypto prices over the next few months. They give a list of factors causing the pessimistic forecast, which includes tighter financial conditions, increasing policy uncertainties, and decreasing risk appetite among investors. These factors are presented as the main reasons behind the negative view.

Ethereum’s forecasted loss is much steeper than that of Bitcoin. Fundstrat analysts estimate that the price for Ethereum will be between $1,800-$2,000 when the market correction occurs. Solana may experience one of the largest percentage losses, potentially falling to a price between $50-$75 per SOL token.

While maintaining a cautious short-term outlook, Fundstrat retains a constructive long-term outlook on digital assets amid the suspected volatility period. Fundstrat encourages disciplined investors to see current lower price levels as an opportunity for buying ahead of an anticipated recovery (accumulation).

Historic patterns, as shown by Fundstrat, have indicated that large fluctuations in price tend to precede major upward price movements in the Cryptocurrency Market. Once prices have stabilised within target ranges projected by Fundstrat, the Cryptocurrency Market should be poised for a recovery.

This divergence between public optimism and private caution has sparked debate among cryptocurrency traders and investors. Many within the market have begun questioning what is the rationale in providing differing narratives to the public than to private clients during these uncertain times.
