JPMorgan's latest research report states that the Federal Reserve will not only refrain from cutting interest rates but also plans to initiate a rate hike cycle in 2027. After this news came out, it indeed shattered some people's dreams of a slow bull market. But think carefully, is a rate hike really that scary?

In fact, BTC's trend is not as tightly bound to the Federal Reserve's stance as you might imagine. As mentioned earlier, if BTC hits bottom by the end of 2026, then even if the Fed is determined to raise rates in 2027, it won't be able to stop the upward momentum of the bull market. Looking back at history, you'll see that in 2023, even while the Fed was aggressively raising rates, BTC stubbornly surged from $15,000 all the way to $30,000, doubling in value.

To put it simply, factors like market liquidity, investment expectations, and institutional attitudes often weigh more heavily than just interest rate policies. When a rate hike cycle arrives, we don't need to be overly pessimistic; the key is whether the fundamentals and market sentiment can hold up.

Here we go again, whether they raise interest rates or not, someone is saying it's a bull market. It's getting a bit tiring to hear. But to be fair, the wave in 2023 was indeed impressive. Even with high interest rates, BTC still doubled, and those details are worth pondering. What JPMorgan says doesn't count for much; the key is how institutions are really moving their real money. History has never repeated itself exactly, but can it happen again this time? It's really hard to say. Liquidity is the real invisible hand, more ruthless than policy measures. It's easy to say, but let's see who can still smile when the rate hike wave actually arrives. Instead of obsessing over the Fed's stance, it's better to study the institutional deployment directions in 2027—that's the real focus.

2027 interest rate hike? Ha, you're trying to scare us again. Didn't we survive 2023?

JPMorgan is bearish again, but wasn't the 2023 rally a living example of the opposite? Rates still went up. The key is market sentiment; don't be too fooled by reports.

You're trying to scare us again, JPMorgan's rhetoric is the same every year. But to be honest, the surge in 2023 from 1.5K to 30K was indeed fierce, and rate hikes couldn't stop it. Liquidity and institutional attitude are the key factors, and there's no mistake in that.
