#数字资产动态追踪 ⚡As the 2026 economic cycle shifts, investors need to reassess their strategies



I just came across a research report where experts are warning about potential economic turning points next year. Unemployment data may rise, and the Federal Reserve is expected to initiate a large-scale rate cut cycle—possibly exceeding 100 basis points. Once liquidity conditions loosen, what changes might occur in the market landscape?

Historically, loose monetary policy tends to catalyze increases in major asset prices. Bitcoin, as an asset with relatively low correlation to traditional finance, is usually favored by institutional and safe-haven funds during such periods. Considering the 2024 halving event has already occurred and 2026 is nearing the end of the production cycle, this time window is indeed worth paying attention to. Some low-market-cap tokens, like certain popular ecosystem tokens, may also experience volatility opportunities in a liquid environment.

But reality isn’t that simple. Behind the surface of loose policy, the employment market may remain under pressure, and consumption momentum could weaken. These factors will eventually transmit to asset prices. So it’s not just about "cut rates and prices go up," but about understanding the structural changes within the cycle.

Smart money has already started to position itself in advance. If you haven’t finalized your strategy yet, now is a good time to track macro data and policy trends, and gradually adjust your portfolio. Instead of chasing highs, it’s better to understand the cycle and make data-driven decisions.

How do you plan to respond to the market changes in 2026? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Here we go again with the "smart money has already positioned," but it sounds to me like the prelude to a rug pull.

The hype around rate cut expectations is big; what really matters is where the liquidity can flow to.

Lower interest rates lead to a rise? Wake up, history isn't that simple --- It's the same logic again, lower interest rates = liquidity = asset appreciation, as if 2008 never happened --- Wait, are low market cap coins more volatile in a loose environment? Doesn't that mean they're more prone to collapse? --- Will there really be a big rate cut in 2026? I feel like the Federal Reserve won't cooperate that much --- Smart money has already made their moves, so are we retail investors about to get cut again? --- Switching from chasing highs to analyzing data sounds easy, but data is lagging, brother --- As soon as the term "structural change" comes up, I know no one can truly predict --- I don't believe Bitcoin's safe-haven asset setup at all --- The key is, if unemployment really rises, consumer spending collapses, where can asset prices go? --- Using data to drive decisions, but the question is, whose data models won't crash?

A 100 basis point cut? Is that real? That would only be possible if the economy has really collapsed.

Will the rate cuts really cause a crash? It feels like the previous wave has already been digested.
