Major banks are already eyeing 2026 with cautious optimism about the US dollar's trajectory. According to Rabobank's Jane Foley, the consensus isn't pointing toward another free fall. Instead, she's betting on something messier—choppy trading ranges rather than the sharp downside we saw earlier.

Why does this matter? Because dollar movements ripple directly through crypto markets. A ranging dollar typically means less directional certainty, which can shift capital flows between traditional assets and digital currencies. Foley's take suggests traders shouldn't expect a one-way street; volatility and consolidation are more likely than sustained weakness.

The takeaway: Watch those currency pairs closely in 2026. When major institutions like Rabobank hedge their bets on sideways action, it's often a signal that macro conditions are getting more complex, not simpler.

It's the same "oscillation range" saying again. If it's always said like this, no one will lose money? --- Wait, instead of a sharp decline, the US dollar is just oscillating... Is this good or bad for the crypto market? I'm a bit confused. --- Rabobank people just say ambiguous things, their ability to earn fees is unmatched. --- Does this mean that making short-term profits in 2026 will be very difficult, or is the institution hinting at something? --- The coin price is so closely tied to the US dollar, no wonder it has been consolidating recently. It was predicted long ago. --- It doesn't seem to have much certainty. I’d rather HODL for peace of mind. --- So big institutions are now playing the ambiguous card, no one really has a clear direction. --- Let it oscillate, anyway I’m not using leverage.

Sideways consolidation, huh? Using that "complex macro environment" excuse again... Basically, no one dares to bet on a direction anymore.

It's that same "complex macro environment" rhetoric again... Basically, no one knows how the dollar will move, so trading within the fluctuation range is the safest.

Once again, this kind of "possible rise, possible fall" useless analysis—bankers just love this stuff... --- What does the sideways movement of the dollar mean for us? Just a roller coaster ride. --- Rabobank's words sound nice, but isn't it just gambling? Anyway, I only look at K-line charts. --- Don't think too much about 2026; volatility is an opportunity. Whether to buy the dip or sell at the top depends on luck. --- Sideways consolidation? That's the time to act—get ready to cut profits. --- Institutions are all speaking in riddles, which clearly means they have no confidence left. --- No matter how the dollar moves, the crypto circle plays by its own rhythm. --- I already said, without a clear trend, there are no one-way profits. Now you believe it, right?

Here we go again with the tricks. Now the banks are changing their tune and saying the dollar will move sideways? I think we need to be very cautious; sideways action is the most deceptive.

Another ambiguous statement like this, sideways action is the most annoying, either go up or go down.
