Tom Lee's $ETH calls: a mixed bag of hopium and misses

Fundstrat's Tom Lee has been swinging for the fences on $ETH for years. Here's the scoreboard:

2021: $10,500 → missed badly
2025: $12,000–$15,000 → also missed
2026: $6,000 if $BTC hits $150K → still pending
End of 2026: $5,000+ → pending
If $BTC hits $100K: $7,500 $ETH → conditional
Longer-term: $25,000–$50,000 → pending
Extreme long-term: $250,000 → pure speculation

His latest take: $ETH above $5,000 by December 2026. He's calling recent weakness a "coiled spring" setup.

The bull case: institutional adoption, tokenization wave, stablecoin dominance, and $ETH as the backbone of on-chain finance.

The reality check: multiple blown deadlines. Track record matters.

Can $ETH finally deliver a parabolic move before 2026 ends or is this just another hopium cycle?
