Markets
In the pale glare of market screens, where fortune’s shadows stretch like the fingers of a thief in the night, Thomas Lee stands as a peculiar preacher. He invites the room to view the sell-off not as ruin but as a doorway-an entryway into something that might, if one squints, resemble opportunity. He spoke in a hall called Consensus Hong Kong 2026, a place perfumed with coffee and nerves, and with the curious scent of risk that never truly leaves the air.
“You should be thinking about opportunities here instead of selling,” Lee declares, and for a moment the audience nods as if a crowd of captains has found a harbor within a storm, though the sea remains indifferent and mocking.
Bitcoin has fallen back below $67,000, a retreat from last week’s nascent rebound and a reminder that even digital gold can shed its glitter. Since October, its price has unwound roughly half of that lofty peak, a drawdown that feels like a confession of sins committed in the dark. On the weekend, it roared to life above $72,000 from $60,000, only to bow again. In the last day it slipped 2.8%; Ethereum, in its own stubborn way, drifted to about $1,950, a figure that seems, like all things in these markets, to live between hope and despair.
“Perfected bottom”
Lee ascribes the current weakness to the tremors that run through metals, especially gold, whose market swings have become an almost comic tragedy-the kind that makes one doubt the sanity of capital itself as trillions leap about in a single day, margins burning like furnaces. The golden thing, after underperforming Bitcoin in 2025, may have reached its apex for this year; Bitcoin, he argues, is set to outperform through 2026, a prophecy that sounds both hopeful and merciless to those who cling to charts and coins alike.
Regarding Ether, Lee notes that half a decade of 50% drawdowns since 2018 have often been followed by sharp rebounds, a testimony to the stubborn optimism of markets that refuse to die even when their own pallbearers march in parades of red figures. Citing market technician Tom DeMark, he suggests ETH may need to dip briefly below $1,800 to carve out a “perfected bottom” before a more sustained ascent.
Thus the confusion remains: a world where the bottom is declared by the same men who sell, where the future arrives in ticker-tape whispers, and where laughter flickers at the corners of the mouth like a sly candle in a dark room. Yet we listen, and we trade, because the soul is hungry for signs, even if those signs taste of irony and gloom.
