While speaking to CNBC, Lee said that although Bitcoin dived the zone around $5,000 following news of Tether (USDT) and Bitfinex exchange being investigated, BTC/USD was going to continue trending upwards in tandem with a bull rally that has already commenced.

Tom Lee said that Bitcoin daily trading volumes have been boosted significantly over the past four months. Moreover, the uptrend is mainly supported by technical as well as fundamental levels in relation to DLT.
