According to reports, Lee says that the recent weakness of the market is linked to the reluctance of the Federal Reserve to lower the interest rates, while Schiff points to Gold’s recent rally as a warning sign for Bitcoin.
Schiff points to Gold’s rally
In an X -post, the Gold Bug Schiff emphasized that the yellow metal rose by 10% in the past two months and reached a new high point of $ 3,620.
“Markets are future -oriented. That’s why gold has risen 10% prior to reducing the coming rate, “he said, with the argument that Gold’s relocation shows that traders expect an easier policy.
Bitcoin, he added, did not follow Gold’s lead and that gap is worried.
Permabull @fundstrat Bitcoin forecast will reach $ 200K by the end of the year, because Bitcoin is sensitive to cutting back the FED rate. He said that the two -month break of the Fed is why Bitcoin did not gather in that period. But gold collected 10% during those two months and reached a record of $ 3,620 while he spoke.

Lee’s call of $ 200,000 and his explanation
Tom Lee remains optimistic. He has argued that the inflow of institutional investors Bitcoin gives new ‘counter-cycle characteristics’, and that larger players could push prices much higher over time.
Based on reports, Lee blames the recent underperformance to the FED and keeps the $ 200,000 figure in public view. His attitude continues to make him one of the best known in Wall Street Permabulls – Persons who retain a constantly optimistic prospect.
Market opportunities and the opinion of the traders
Polymarket users do not seem convinced by the Lee timetable. At the time of the press, markets show one 8% chance from Bitcoin who reaches $ 200k this year.
The same markets place about an 8% chance on Bitcoin that drops below $ 70,000 by the end of 2025. Those opportunities suggest that gamblers are split and that head goals are treated with skepticism.

A wider performance control
Schiff has also pointed out to measurements in the longer term. He noted that Bitcoin has fallen by 16% against gold in the last four years, although the cryptocurrency has made strong profits in that period compared to the US dollar.
He warned that when “more air” comes from the Bitcoin bubble, the four-year returns may look weak. The idea that the old four -year cycle bound to Halves may have faded, was raised by other analysts in the recent comments, and that debate is underway.

What’s now comes Bitcoin
Schiff continued by saying that Bitcoin sinks under $ 100k rather than to reach $ 200k, which gave a cautious twist to the prospects.
This vision makes it clear where Schiff says: he deals with Gold’s rally as a forward signal about future policy and believes that the delay of Bitcoin is not a grill, but a structural care.
Lee’s counter is that institutional flows can change how Bitcoin moves over time.
