The Verdict: Uncertainty Remains Strong With Crypto-Markets Below Their 200-Day Averages This December is showing that cryptocurrency values are not as bright as some people predicted throughout the course of 2018. Being so close to the end of the year, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has stated that he’s getting “tired” of cryptocurrency price predictions. Lee stated multiple times this year that BTC prices could hit a target of $15,000-25,000 by the year’s end. According to Lee’s note to clients this week, the Fundstrat Global Advisor says BTC’s fair model price should be between $13,800 and $14,800. “Given we are so close to year-end, we are not providing any updates to near-term price objectives — read this as, we are tired of people asking us about target prices,” explained Lee on Friday. Lee conceded by adding: Given the steep discounts of to our fair value models, the excessive bearish sentiment about fundamentals does not seem warranted. Lee’s fair market value is still more than $10,000 higher than today’s BTC spot prices. Further, with the price so low BTC/USD, and ETH/USD short positions are still at all-time highs this week. This means more so than ever individuals and organizations believe prices are going to drop again. A large portion of the top digital assets continue to slowly drop into a narrowing price range with no signs of any significant price bounces ahead.
