Analysis of signals about the bottom in the cryptocurrency market: the latest views of Tom Lee and on-chain data verification

Creator and co-executor of Fundstrat, chairman of the BitMine board of directors Tom Lee, clearly stated during a CNBC interview on April 9, 2026, that clear signals of a bottom have appeared in the market.
This long-term bullish strategist on crypto assets from Wall Street also reaffirmed his bullish stance on Ethereum and Bitcoin and placed them alongside other asset categories such as the energy sector, the American "Seven Giants" (MAG7), and the software sector for overall assessment.
Such a statement quickly generated widespread interest in the industry — not only because Lee, as a "well-known Wall Street bull," influences market expectations, but also because of the logical framework his judgment of the "bottom" relies on: he draws conclusions not only based on price patterns but also considering structural changes in on-chain activity and the trend toward institutional capital margin return.
It is worth noting that at the moment Lee made these conclusions, the crypto market was experiencing a transitional period from "extreme panic" to "technical recovery."
