The Ethereum market has ushered in a new wave of predictions at the beginning of the year. Tom Lee, an analyst from MicroStrategy, has spoken out again, providing a specific outlook for Ethereum's performance in 2026—expecting a rally at the start of the year, a relatively deep correction in the mid-term, and a potential rebound by the end of the year. This aligns with his previous forecast that ETH could reach $7,000-$9,000 in January 2026, indicating a consistent view on the potential volatility of the mid-term market.

It is worth noting that the Web3 robot track continues to attract capital attention. The XMAQUINA project has partnered with the Virtuals ecosystem and will launch a new offering plan at 8 PM tonight, with the project's FDV set at around $60 million. This also reflects the ongoing market enthusiasm for the integration of AI and Web3.

Tom Lee's "V-shaped reversal" theory has been heard for three years. How deep will the mid-term correction be? No one can say for sure. That's why I generally don't trust the predictions of a single analyst. The 7000-9000 dollar range is ridiculously wide; it's just a classic case of playing both sides. AI+Web3 is indeed hot right now, but projects like XMAQUINA need to be evaluated on three dimensions—how playable the project is, whether the token economy model is sound, and whether player retention can support sustainable growth. An FDV of 60 million isn't low, but I hope it doesn't turn into another round of chopping up retail investors.

Tom Lee is making promises again, waiting for 7,000-9,000 until January next year? I think it's time to get in now, haha. Web3 bots are back to harvest profits, can the 60 million FDV IPO turn things around? Everyone knows ETH will undergo a mid-term correction, but the key is how low it will go before bottoming out. Can the AI+Web3 hype last until the end of the year? Honestly, I don't understand it. Predicting rises and falls every day—might as well become a trader yourself.

Tom Lee is at it again, but the prediction of 7000-9000 is just for listening; who doesn't know the mid-term adjustment? As for XMAQUINA's IPO... with an FDV of only 60 million, brothers should take a closer look at the fundamentals before jumping in.

Tom Lee this guy is starting to hype again, rising at the beginning of the year, falling mid-term, rebounding at the end of the year—doesn't everyone say that? Haha AI+Web3 is indeed hot right now, but a robot project with a 60 million FDV... feels more and more like a scam to cut leeks. At the 7000-9000 price range, is the big brother serious or just joking? XMAQUINA is launching again, tonight are we going to see a bunch of people rushing in and then crying two weeks later?

Tom Lee is back with another big move, but I'm starting to get a bit tired of the "rise first, then dip, then rebound" narrative...
