Tom Lee just made a bold prediction on CNBC...

Tom Lee was on CNBC's Power Lunch today, a sort of half time talking segment midway through the trading day where analysts often give their thoughts on different things.

Today, Tom Lee was on talking the Dow and bitcoin.

He said there are a lot of tailwinds for bitcoin right now that likely are going to propel it to all time highs this year.

The tailwinds he mentioned:

• Halving in May
• BTC now above its 200 MA
• Election Year
• Coronavirus fear

Add all this up and he thinks bitcoin is going to have a massive year.

I agree.

How massive they went on to ask him?

He spit out some math to answer that one...

Historically, when bitcoin breaks above its 200 day moving average it returns 190% on average during the following 6 months.

Using that data, bitcoin would hit new highs within the next 6 months.

This wasn't his prediction per say, but it was based on bitcoin's historical price patterns and math.

Now for his prediction...

He said that if he had to bet which would hit $30k sooner, the Dow or bitcoin, he said he would go with the Dow.

Not surprising since the Dow is only a hop skip and a jump away from that number.

However, when pressed a bit further he added that if he had to pick the Dow or bitcoin to hit $40k first, he would go with bitcoin...

Yep, he said he thinks bitcoin will hit $40k before the Dow hits $40k.

Tom... my boy.... I like they way you think!
