On December 20, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju noted: Tom Lee is known for his long-standing, notably bullish stance—with a bullish-to-bearish ratio of roughly 10:0.

Relative to peers, this marks his alpha value; this may be the inevitable fate of sell-side research, pushing him into this somewhat tough spot.
