# Tom Lee Says Markets Are 'Deeply Oversold,' Expects Bitcoin To Lead Rebound As Investors Fear Trump's Tariff Impact

> Tom Lee of Fundstrat believes that markets are "deeply oversold" and expects a rebound, particularly led by Bitcoin, despite investor anxiety over President Trump's upcoming tariff announcement. He noted that many fund managers are overly pessimistic, fearing an economic downturn. Lee suggests that post-announcement, markets will gain clarity, alleviating some selling pressure. He also counters stagflation fears, highlighting potential positive economic growth and the Federal Reserve's dovish stance as catalysts for recovery.

**Fundstrat**‘s **Tom Lee** believes markets are poised for a rebound despite widespread investor anxiety ahead of President **Donald Trump**‘s anticipated tariff announcement on Wednesday.

**What Happened**: “Markets are deeply oversold,” Lee wrote on Monday on X, adding that “too many are only pricing in ‘worst case'” scenarios. He said that **Bitcoin** BTC/USD “likely leads bounce when recovery starts.”

Lee, Fundstrat’s Head of Research and Chief Investment Officer, noted high anxiety among fund managers who fear economic downturn following Trump’s Apr. 2 “Liberation Day” announcements. These concerns stem from uncertainty around tariff impacts and the Trump administration’s policies.

“I think investors are a little too scared heading into Wednesday,” Lee told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday. “Post-Wednesday, markets are going to have some visibility. That allows us to take some of the selling pressure off.”

**Why It Matters**: The market pessimism comes as the S&P 500, tracked by **SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust** SPY, officially entered correction territory earlier this month. The index has recorded its largest quarterly underperformance against global markets since 1988, according to Bloomberg data.

Lee countered stagflation fears, suggesting economists may be overlooking positive factors. “We might end up having better growth, so less stag, and maybe the inflation stuff is more distorting so it’s not as stagflationary,” he said.

The strategist also pointed to the Federal Reserve’s relatively dovish stance as a potential positive catalyst. Fed Chair **Jerome Powell** is scheduled to speak Friday following the nonfarm payrolls report.

A Benzinga poll found 48% of respondents believe markets will crash following Trump’s reciprocal tariff announcement, while 29% expect little impact and 23% anticipate a market rise.
