FundStrat analytics expert Tom Lee doubles his super-fussing Ethereum stance and shares more or less specific ETH price forecasts for next month.
But the number he named may not be $5,500. Because he expects both Bitcoin and Ethereum to make “monster moves” over the next three months.
Tom Lee is taking Ethereum to $5,500 by mid-October
The main reason Tom Lee was appointed to the recent arrival of CNBC is the expected Fed Reserve currency easing. This ensures liquidity inflows into the market, Lee said. Therefore, Ethereum and Bitcoin will be major profiters to allow them to “monster movements.” “Yeah, huge,” Lee specified. The Fed’s decision to lower interest rates by 25 basis points this week should be announced.

In this prediction, he commented on the analysis published in X by Bitmine Company, which has accumulated Ethereum as Lee’s leader and chairman. The analysis states that Ethereum could drop to $4,418 or $4,375 by the end of the weekend. The company uses dips to purchase ETH. “We’ll be at about $5,500 by mid-October,” the post predicts.
At the time of writing, Ethereum has changed hands for $4,500.
