Fundstrat&#8217;s chief investment officer, Tom Lee, says the next big move in 
markets won&#8217;t be led by stocks — it&#8217;ll be driven by crypto. Speaking Wednesday 
on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Closing Bell,&#8221; Lee argued that Bitcoin and Ether are positioned to 
lead the next leg of the rally, alongside the Magnificent 7 tech stocks and 
the broader software sector. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Hit $85K Before 
April Ends, Analyst Says Crypto And Tech Move In Step He also said some 
investors are still sitting on the sidelines, waiting for more clarity on the 
Middle East conflict before putting money to work — and that their eventual 
return could push prices higher. His comments came on a day when markets moved 
decisively. The Nasdaq Composite closed at a new all-time high of 24,016, up 
1.60% for the session. The S&amp;P 500 tagged its own record at 7,022, gaining 
0.78%. Tech stocks as a group were up more than 2% on the day, according to 
data from Yahoo Finance. Even as S&amp;P 500 $SPY reached all-time hit today, 
investors remain skeptical and sidelined: &#8211; many said long war = long bear &#8211;

(@fundstrat) April 15, 2026 Bitcoin kept pace. The world&#8217;s largest 
cryptocurrency briefly hit $76,000 on Wednesday, up roughly 1.20% over the 
prior 24 hours. That move was part of a broader run — BTC has climbed nearly 
10% over the past two weeks. A War Winding Down Much of Wednesday&#8217;s optimism 
was tied to signals out of Washington. US President Donald Trump said that the 
US-Iran conflict may be close to ending. &#8220;If I pulled up stakes right now, it 
would take them 20 years to rebuild that country,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;We&#8217;ll see what 
happens. I think they want to make a deal very badly.&#8221; Trump stopped short of 
declaring victory. A deal, he made clear, has not been struck. But the tone 
was enough to lift investor confidence across both equity and crypto markets, 
with traders interpreting the comments as a sign that the geopolitical 
pressure weighing on risk assets could soon ease. Related Reading: ‘Extremely

Bulls See Room To Run Lee, known for his bullish market calls, pushed back 
against any suggestion that the recent rally has run out of steam. He posted 
on X that stocks tend to bottom on bad news — not good — making the case that 
the upward move has further to go. His view is that the market and US economy 
have held up well despite the ongoing conflict, and that the conditions for 
continued gains remain in place. Whether crypto leads equities or simply rides 
alongside them remains to be seen. But on Wednesday, at least, both were 
pointing in the same direction — up. Featured image from MetaAI, chart from
