5 Momentum ETFs With More Room to Run in 2026

AI strength, solid earnings, and upbeat 2026 forecasts fuel momentum plays. These five ETFs -- GDXJ, SLV, KBE, MDYV & IWM -- may still have room to run.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Tom Lee said investors often make the mistake of buying “cheap” DATs, even though weaker names rarely outperform in any sector.</li><li>He noted that Strategy took the right approach by building a $1.4 billion cash reserve to weather Bitcoin drawdowns.</li><li>Lee also forecast that Bitcoin’s halving-driven four-year cycle may be breaking, depending on whether BTC sets a new high in January.</li></ul>Fundstrat’s Tom Lee reportedly said that the market for digital asset treasuries has become overcrowded, with trading activity concentrated almost entirely in two names: Strategy (MSTR) and Bitmine (BMNR).&nbsp;In an&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/farokh/status/1998754578234224869">interview</a> this week on Rug Radio, Lee said the proliferation of about 80 DATs reflects unrealistic expectations from both founders and equity investors. “For the crypto builders, they thought building a DAT was simply, let’s put together a team, put some famous names on it and we’re going 100x,” Lee said. “For the equity investor, they’re learning a lesson… you can’t necessarily outperform the crypto.”<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BMNR/">BMNR’s stock</a> edged 0.41% higher in midday trade on Wednesday, with retail sentiment on Stocktwits trending in ‘bullish’ territory over the past day. Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MSTR">MSTR’s stock</a> dipped 1.2%, with retail sentiment in the ‘bearish’ zone in the last 24 hours.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Most DATs Trading Under NAV Value</h2>Lee said roughly 90% of all DATs now trade below NAV, and most see little meaningful activity. “Between Bitmine and Strategy, that’s 92% of all trading volume,” he said. Lee added that Strategy is currently “the 17th most traded stock in the U.S.,” while Bitmine ranks around 39th. Everything else, he said, represents only a sliver of daily turnover.Lee said investors make a mistake in treating DATs trading below NAV as bargains. In equities, he noted, sectors like biotech have long featured “net nets” and yet those names rarely outperform. “You never buy the cheapest stock in the sector. You buy the strongest,” he said. “Imagine saying, ‘I don’t want to buy Nvidia — I’ll just buy the 100th-best.’”<h2 class="st-heading-2">MSTR Did ‘The Smart Thing’</h2>Lee said Strategy’s recent stock price volatility is largely a function of its tight correlation to Bitcoin, not its underlying business. “There’s nothing he can do, because he’s always going to be high beta to Bitcoin,” Lee said of CEO Michael Saylor. But he argued the firm is prepared for downturns.“They have now announced a cash reserve of $1.4 billion — smart,” Lee said, adding that Fundstrat has pursued a similar approach. “We’ve been running cash the entire time… we don’t want anyone to ever think we’re not going to be around.”Lee said Bitmine remains structurally stronger than peers because of its ETH treasury. The firm holds roughly 3.7 million ETH, far more than all other DATs combined. “The rest… don’t even own a million,” he said. That position, and its staking yield, create what Lee views as a significant strategic moat. “I don’t think Bitmine would ever sell its E,” he said. “There’s no reason to be selling.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Bitcoin No Longer Following Four-Year Cycle</h2>Lee also questioned whether Bitcoin continues to adhere to the four-year halving cycle long cited by market veterans. With long-term holders selling heavily this year, he said, historical patterns may no longer apply.“If Bitcoin makes a new high in January, there’s no four-year cycle,” he said. The cycle “was true in the past — until this cycle.” He noted that other markets once governed by reliable timing patterns, such as ISM manufacturing data, copper, and gold, have also broken away from old rhythms.“We’ll know by January 31,” he said. “If Bitcoin closes above 126,000 – there’s no four-year cycle.”Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvidia-h200-export-prompts-emergency-meeting-with-alibaba-bytedance-tencent/cLIHRApRENU">Nvidia H200 Export Approval To China Prompts Beijing’s Emergency Meetings With Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee Warns ‘Too Many DATs’ Are Chasing Too Little Trading Volume 

In an interview with Rug Radio, Lee said roughly 80 DATs now exist, but about 90% trade below NAV, reflecting an overcrowded market.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Strategy told MSCI its digital asset holdings are part of an operating model, not a passive investment strategy.</li><li>The company said a 50% digital-asset threshold would be difficult to apply because asset values move with the market.</li><li>Excluding digital-asset-focused firms, Strategy argued, risks undermining U.S. leadership in emerging financial technologies.</li></ul>Michael Saylor-backed Strategy (MSTR) on Wednesday urged MSCI in a letter not to exclude companies from its Global Investable Market Index simply because over 50% of their assets are digital.In a letter to the index provider, Strategy argued the threshold “mischaracterizes” its business model and risks penalizing firms developing new financial infrastructure around Bitcoin (BTC).<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MSTR">MSTR’s stock</a> was down more than 2% in morning trade. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the company trended in ‘bearish’ territory, down from ‘extremely bullish’ a week ago. Chatter also fell to ‘low’ from ‘high’ levels during that time. Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> gained 1.9% in the last 24 hours, trading at around $91,800. Retail sentiment around the apex cryptocurrency fell to ‘bearish’ from ‘neutral’ over the past week, as chatter dipped to ‘low’ from ‘normal’ levels.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Strategy Pushes Back On MSCI’s 50% Digital Asset Limit</h2>The company said it should not be grouped with investment funds because its digital asset treasury (DAT) strategy is tied to operating activities. Strategy uses its Bitcoin holdings to support revenue-generating products, such as Bitcoin-backed credit services, rather than passively holding tokens. Classifying companies solely by the composition of their balance sheets, it said, ignores business function and introduces distortions across sectors.Strategy said the proposed threshold is “arbitrary, discriminatory, and unworkable", as asset values fluctuate and accounting standards differ. It added that other industries with concentrated asset bases, such as oil, timber, or real estate, are not subject to similar limits.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Implementation Challenges And Policy Risks</h2>The company warned that applying a fixed digital-asset threshold would require MSCI to monitor volatile market prices and continuously reclassify companies, creating uncertainty for issuers and index-tracking investors. It argued that such a rule would pull MSCI into policy-making territory rather than maintaining the index provider’s stated goal of neutrality.Strategy also said excluding digital-asset-heavy firms could limit innovation and weaken the U.S. position in early-stage financial technologies, particularly as Bitcoin-linked products and balance-sheet strategies spread globally.The firm recommended that MSCI pause the proposal and adopt a more consultative process, similar to the discussions that led to the “Communication Services” sector realignment several years ago. Allowing the digital asset treasury category to mature would help avoid prematurely codifying limits that could later prove outdated, the company said.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvidia-h200-export-prompts-emergency-meeting-with-alibaba-bytedance-tencent/cLIHRApRENU">Nvidia H200 Export Approval To China Prompts Beijing’s Emergency Meetings With Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Phong Le said, “Strategy would only sell Bitcoin as a last resort if mNAV fell below 1 and capital markets shut.”&nbsp;Currently, the company's mNAV is 1.17, over the threshold for such conditions. Based on this structure, the USD reserve is likely to ensure that short-term commitments can be satisfied without selling any Bitcoin, particularly during a crypto winter.At press time, MSTR is trading at $171.42, up just 1.69% in pre-market hours.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-price-steadies-at-86000-after-1b-liquidations-grayscale-sees-new-highs/cLIaL8eRE0j">Bitcoin’s Price Steadies At $86,000 After $1B Liquidations – Grayscale Sees New Highs In 2026</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
