◇ Will the Reflation Expectation Bring a Wind to the Cryptocurrency Market?

The reflation trade generally refers to an investment strategy that increases the proportion of risk assets such as stocks and commodities during the recovery phase after an economic downturn, expecting rising prices and interest rates.

This shift in global macroeconomic trends is also interpreted as a positive signal for the virtual asset market. Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are classified as risk assets and tend to perform well when global liquidity expands and investor sentiment improves.

In particular, if the recent flows of ‘short squeeze’ and ‘leverage expansion’ transfer from the stock market to the virtual asset market, there is a prospect of increased volatility and upward momentum.

This analysis suggests that investors are reallocating their portfolios toward assets that bet on growth rather than safe assets like government bonds. The phase where fears of recession subside and expectations for growth push asset prices upward has begun.

Market attention now focuses on how long this ‘risk-on’ trend will last and whether it will lead to rallies in alternative assets such as Bitcoin.
