🚀 Chocolate Prices Surge in the U.S. Due to Cocoa Supply Shortage

On February 15, Jin10 reported that chocolate prices in the United States have been rising significantly due to a shortage in global cocoa supply. According to Jin10, data from the market research firm 'Data Compilation' indicates that from January 1 to early February, U.S. chocolate retail prices increased by 14.4% year-on-year. Cities like Denver and Los Angeles saw chocolate prices rise by approximately 17%, while the Dallas-Fort Worth area experienced a 19% increase.

The primary factor driving the price hike is the global shortage of cocoa beans, a key ingredient in chocolate production. West Africa, which accounts for about 70% of the world's cocoa bean production, has faced poor harvests due to extreme weather conditions, previously pushing cocoa futures to historic highs. Although international cocoa prices have recently declined, U.S. chocolate products are still processing previously purchased high-priced raw materials, suggesting that the upward trend in chocolate prices may persist in the short term.

🚀 Tom Lee: Fundstrat Who Accurately Predicted "BTC Pullback to $60k" Believes One More Dip Will Mark the Bottom

According to Odaily, Tom Lee, Co-founder of Fundstrat and Chairman of Bitmine, stated in an interview with Decrypt that the market should be very close to a bottom, with current market sentiment being extremely poor and price action also weak. Fundstrat's analysis advisor, Tom Demar, has been saying since last November that BTC would fall towards $60,000. He initially believed ETH's bottom should be around $2,400, but if that level doesn't hold, it would bottom near $1,890. He believes only one more dip is needed, and that will be the lowest point, meaning we are now very close to the end of the decline. Previously, in its 2026 cryptocurrency strategy recommendations for internal clients, Fundstrat indicated that the market would experience a relatively deep correction in the first half of the year, with a target price for BTC of $60,000 to $65,000; a target price for ETH of $1,800 to $2,000; and a target price for SOL of $50 to $75. However, Tom Lee himself has consistently publicly claimed that both BTC and ETH will reach new all-time highs in January 2026.
