On April 1, Tom Lee told CNBC in an interview that he believes the market has already absorbed 90-95% of selling pressure, the selling cycle may have ended, and rebuilding can now begin. He emphasized that stocks typically bottom out early in wartime environments: “We’ve studied every war since 1900, and markets tend to hit a bottom within the first 10% of the conflict’s duration. If this follows that pattern, we’re in the early stages now.” Right now, any negative news can spark risk-off moves—this is why position sizing matters, he added. “At some point, if investors grow too neutral, the market could stage a V-shaped rebound even if conditions aren’t that dire.” Lee also noted on social media that even if a bottom hasn’t been hit yet, he thinks the U.S. economy can handle $100 or even $120 oil.
