Fundstrat Head of Research Tom Lee projects a substantial cryptocurrency rally extending through late 2025, supported by improved technical indicators and reduced leverage following the October 10 liquidation event—the largest in five years. Bitcoin and Ethereum have maintained stability with open interest at record lows, despite deleveraging pressures tied to U.S.–China trade tensions. Lee cited JPMorgan's acceptance of digital assets as loan collateral as a notably bullish signal for the sector.

Bitcoin fell to approximately $111,546 after $40.56 million in long positions were liquidated within 24 hours, data show. The liquidations followed BTC's failure to break resistance near $114,000, triggering a consolidation phase that reduced market leverage. Ethereum led total liquidations at $44.4 million during the same period.
