Bitcoin Bull Tom Lee Says Markets Are in “Good Position” to Rally

In a recent interview on CNBC, Bitcoin advocate Tom Lee expressed his belief that the markets could experience an upturn.

Lee highlights that the median short interest in stocks has reached its peak in the past three years.

He expressed that if inflation performs better than anticipated, then we could witness a significant market uplift.

Lee has added that the market could be close to a potential market bottom.
