Key Takeaways
Tom Lee sees March rebound for crypto and US stocks
Bitcoin trades at $66K despite Middle East tension
Ethereum holds near $1,950 as BitMine keeps buying
Oil jumps 13% while US futures slip lower
Lee links gold strength to broader market shift
Bitcoin trades at $66,000 after rebounding from weekend lows near $63,000. The asset has gained over 5% from its recent dip. Tom Lee expects a broader market recovery in March despite geopolitical pressure.
He shared his outlook during a recent CNBC interview. Lee stated that March could mark a turnaround month for risk assets. He added that economic growth remains intact despite current fears.
Tensions in the Middle East triggered sharp weekend volatility. Military strikes targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader sparked retaliatory action. Consequently, markets reacted with swift liquidations and price swings.
Data shows that long liquidations reached nearly $300 million. However, the broader market absorbed the shock without extended panic. Therefore, Bitcoin stabilized quickly above key support levels.
Meanwhile, oil prices jumped 13% to $82 per barrel. This level marks the highest price since July 2024. Rising energy costs added pressure to global equity markets.
US equity index futures declined following the developments. The S&P 500 futures fell 1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 1.5%. Even so, Lee believes the worst selling could occur this week.

Author: Nancy, PANews
Satoshi Nakamoto’s real identity remains the mystery that has persisted for 17 years in the crypto world. Speculation about this pseudonym has never stopped—candidates have ranged from cryptographers to corporate founders—but there has always been a lack of evidence to definitively settle the matter.
Recently, The New York Times published a multi-thousand-word investigation that, based on multiple comparisons drawn from linguistic style, technical pathways, and historical context, listed Blockstream CEO Adam Back as the strongest candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto. However, the claim was quickly and clearly denied by Back himself, and the relevant arguments were widely questioned by the industry as difficult to substantiate.
