Tom Lee: The market has already absorbed more than 90% of the selling pressure. The stock market typically bottoms out in the first 10% of the war process.

Gate News message. On April 1, Tom Lee, in an interview with CNBC, said the market has already absorbed 90% to 95% of the sell-pressure, and the selling process may already be over; now, it’s time to start rebuilding the base. He noted that in a war environment, the stock market often bottoms out early. Based on research into every war since 1900, the stock market bottoms out within the first 10% of the war’s progress; if this time follows the same pattern, it is currently in the early stage of that process. Tom Lee said that at this stage, any bad news could trigger de-risking, but once people become overly neutral, even if the situation is not as bad as it could be, the market may see another round of a V-shaped rebound. He added on social media that even though the “low point” has not yet been reached, he believes the U.S. economy can withstand oil prices of $100, and even $120.
