Tom Lee Predicts Ethereum to Outperform in Q4, Sets Price Targets for ETH

Fundstrat's Tom Lee predicts Ethereum (ETH) to outperform in Q4, with price targets of $5,500 within weeks and $10,000 or $12,000 by year-end. Lee holds nearly $7 billion in ETH tokens, considers Nvidia a top company, and expects a "bevy of IPOs" in the next 12 months. Lee believes that the US Federal Reserve will start cutting rates, contributing to ETH's potential growth.

Fundstrat's Tom Lee, a prominent Wall Street investor, has shared his bullish outlook on Ethereum (ETH), predicting significant price gains in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025. Lee, who holds nearly $7 billion in ETH tokens, anticipates that the cryptocurrency could reach $5,500 within weeks and potentially hit $10,000 or $12,000 by the end of the year [2].

Lee's predictions come amidst a backdrop of recent market volatility, with Ethereum experiencing a sharp correction that wiped out over $200 billion in value. However, Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee believes that Ethereum's bottom could be in "within hours," as seen in the recent price bounce from $4,313 back above $4,430 [1]. His optimism is echoed by Mark Newton, Fundstrat’s head of technical strategy, who sees a recovery zone between $5,100 and $5,450 [1].

Adding weight to the bullish case, BitMine Immersion Technologies has been aggressively expanding its ETH holdings. During the recent dip, the company purchased 4,871 ETH worth $21.3 million, raising its total to 1.72 million ETH valued at roughly $7.5 billion. This move highlights a broader trend of institutions using downturns to build positions [1].

Lee's predictions also consider the potential impact of the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy. He believes that the Federal Reserve will start cutting rates, which could contribute to ETH's potential growth. Additionally, Lee expects a "bevy of IPOs" in the next 12 months, which could further boost the cryptocurrency market [2].

For investors, the key takeaway is that Ethereum's recent technical signals and heavy institutional buying suggest a recovery may already be in motion. If Tom Lee's call proves right, Ether could be entering its next leg higher much sooner than expected, with big players like BitMine leading the charge.
