Tom Lee Predicts an Increase in BTC Prices After NY Consensus Summit

According to an article published by Bloomberg, an analysis conducted by the firm concluded that after each conference, confidence in the crypto market increases considerably. But it is not only Mr. Lee who has high expectations for such an event.

“We expect the Consensus rally to be even larger than past years,” the head of research said in a note to clients, referring to the Manhattan conference gathering for its fourth year. The event may draw more than 7,000 people, a surge from roughly 2,750 a year ago, Lee said. Last time, when new attendance doubled, Bitcoin rose 69 percent during the conference and 138 percent in the two months afterward, he said.

As a caveat, Lee said talk of regulations for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could damp enthusiasm — a scenario he views as unlikely. “Bottom line: We expect BTC and cryptocurrencies to behave similarly to prior years and rally during Consensus,” he wrote.
