A recent important macro event worth paying attention to. The Federal Reserve is scheduled to hold a meeting from January 27 to 28. Due to the faster-than-expected cooling of inflation, the market is already preparing for rate cuts in the first half of 2026—estimated to be in the range of 50 to 75 basis points. Powell's term will last until May 2026, and policy adjustments during this period typically trigger large-scale capital flows.



How does this flow work? Once rate cut expectations are established, the appeal of defensive assets like gold and silver will decline, and funds will naturally flow into higher-yield, riskier assets—the cryptocurrency market has always been a key destination for such capital. Historically, market cycles follow a relatively clear pattern: first, a slow accumulation phase, then an expansion phase with steady price increases, and finally the out-of-control frenzy period.

Currently, we are roughly transitioning from the accumulation phase to the expansion phase. The strategy for 2026 doesn't need to be overly complicated—mainly focus on maintaining your positions and moving with the market rhythm, rather than constantly trying to cash out at the top. This large-cycle transition usually presents good opportunities for patient investors.

On-chain data shows that funds are indeed moving into high-risk assets, and the results of the meeting on the 27th are likely to serve as a catalyst. It is worth noting that this macro shift is often detected before on-chain deployment, and the previous wave of contract changes monitored was probably no coincidence.

Wait, the expectation of interest rate cuts is already so clear? Then the flow of funds into cryptocurrencies is probably a sure thing...

Well... it makes some sense, but I still think interest rate cuts are easy to be overhyped.

Wait, are the interest rate cut expectations directly causing a flood of money into the crypto world? I still don't quite understand this logic. Could you explain it in more detail?
