Crypto Set to Catch Up as Precious Metals Rally Pauses, Says Tom Lee
Precious metals like gold and silver have recently attracted the majority of capital, causing digital assets to underperform.
However, Tom Lee believes that once profit-taking begins in the gold and silver markets, capital is likely to rotate back into cryptocurrencies.
Speaking on CNBC’s Power Lunch on Jan. 26, Lee said crypto assets would typically benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and an easing Federal Reserve.
However, he noted that the sector is currently lacking a leverage-driven tailwind after a period of deleveraging.
Lee added that as long as gold and silver continue to rise, investors’ fear of missing out is flowing into precious metals.
This further led to delays in the broader crypto rebound.
next“Because when gold and silver take a break, then and in the past, that would lead to a Bitcoin and Ethereum surge afterwards. I think the precious metal move has sucked a lot of the oxygen out of the room. So, I think crypto prices aren’t quite keeping up with fundamentals, but as you know, when fundamentals go up, and to the right, prices eventually follow,” he added.
