Expert Sees Bitcoin Dipping To $50K While Bullish Momentum Persists
$50,000 The Worst-Case Scenario?
Recently, Tom Lee shared his opinions with CNBC during an interview as a response to the fears regarding Bitcoin’s latest retreat. He stated that corrections up to $70,000 or even down to $50,000 can happen. Corrections of this type, he continued, have become extremely frequent throughout Bitcoin’s history; hence long-term investors must consider them opportunities and not as problems.
It was with the mention of $50,000 that eyebrows were raised, but Lee’s confidence in Bitcoin’s strength remains unbroken. He said these corrections often prepares the stage for even stronger price recoveries, especially in a market as dynamic as crypto.
A Bold Prediction Amid Uncertainty
Lee predicted that the price of Bitcoin might reach $200,000-$250,000 by the end of 2025, simply because he is convinced that this cryptocurrency will eventually serve as an economic hedge against instability and increase in adoption rates among institutional investors.
Lee also says the current price point of $90,000 will be an ideal entry point for anyone thinking long term. His reasoning is that Bitcoin’s underlying fundamentals remain strong, and the recent pullback hasn’t dented its broader growth narrative.

Inflation And Market Dynamics
Lee said that inflation fears are not yet critical, and temporary disruptions, such as natural disasters, can impact data. However, the cautious approach of the Federal Reserve to rate cuts gives room for optimism. A slower pace of inflation and strong earnings from major companies could boost risk assets, including Bitcoin, in the near term.
Investor Sentiment And What’s Next
After Lee’s comment, Bitcoin rebounded a little; it came back to about $96,400. The rebound shows that the market participants were comforted by his analysis.
The lesson for investors is obvious: volatility will probably interrupt Bitcoin’s road of development, but overall the long-term future seems bright. Forecasts for the market range from $50,000 to $250,000, thereby presenting both risk and possibility.
The balancing act between fear and optimism will ultimately shape Bitcoin’s trajectory in the months to come.
