PANews reported on December 20th that CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju tweeted that Tom Lee is typically a staunch bull, with a long-to-short ratio of approximately 10:0. When a market correction seems inevitable, he briefly acknowledges the possibility of a decline and adjusts his risk ratio to around 9:1. This may be due to his position in sell-side research, which forces him into this somewhat bittersweet situation.

Previous reports indicated that an internal research report from Tom Lee's fund stated that BTC and ETH would experience a deep correction, contrary to his own claim of reaching new highs at the end of January.
