As reported by COINOTAG News on December 11, market strategist Tom Lee projects a S&P 500 target of 7,700 by 2026, extending the current bull market. He cites a persistent ‘wall of worry’ as a catalyst, supported by AI-driven growth in the tech sector and the prospect of a dovish Federal Reserve policy as tailwinds for risk assets.

In 2025, the S&P 500 rose about 17%, with communication services up 33% and tech up 27%. Lee remains constructive on sectors including technology, AI, cryptocurrency, materials, energy, and financials for 2026, arguing that ongoing innovation cycles could bolster crypto-market sentiment and broaden cross-asset risk dynamics.
