Bitcoin has pulled back to $92,000 levels as we enter the latter part of the cycle. But here's what's interesting—Jerome Powell's tenure as Fed chair wraps up in roughly three months, and that's when the interest rate environment could shift dramatically. Once we hit summer, expect rate cuts to gain momentum.

With that macro backdrop in play, I'm watching for Bitcoin to push toward $150,000 and beyond. The correlation between monetary easing and digital asset appreciation has been pretty clear historically. All things considered, 2026 is shaping up to be a standout year for the entire crypto ecosystem. The pieces are falling into place.

92k can also be said to be in the late stage of the cycle? I think it still has to keep soaring, we'll know when the rate cuts really come 150k? Dream on, let's stabilize at 100k first The matter of Powell stepping down... who the new chairman will be at that time is the key Rate cuts in summer? Don't just talk about it, let's wait and see. It's too early to say now Bright spot year in 26? You say that every year, why am I still failing at bottom fishing? A pullback to 92k is actually an opportunity, just see who dares to take the plunge The expectation of easing has been overhyped, beware of a reversal Not to hype or criticize, 150k is a bit outrageous, a steady 100-120k is enough Powell still has to stir things up before leaving, don't be too optimistic The rate cut cycle is indeed beneficial, but when the coin price drops, no one has patience

Powell stepping down and cutting rates further, I believe in this logic, but can it really reach 150k? Feels like we're going to be disappointed again this round.

Will Powell step down and cut interest rates, and will Bitcoin take off? It feels like that's what we always say, haha.

Powell's resignation is the real key here. Once the rate cut expectations materialize, can it really cause a surge? I don't believe this wave can directly hit 150k... --- It's another 2026 story. Let's first hold the 92k line, but that feels a bit overly optimistic. --- Loose monetary policy is indeed a friend to BTC, but can the market trust it now? --- Wait for the rate cut news in summer. It's too early to say anything now. As the cycle progresses, caution is warranted. --- Historical correlation ≠ future certainty. That logic is a bit loose. --- 150k sounds very sexy, but will reality give us face? Question mark. --- With such a good macro environment, why are the coins still falling? It indicates that the fundamentals are really problematic. --- We're already speculating on the 2026 forecast. That's a bit early, brother. --- If the rate cut comes, can BTC really take off? I don't think it's that simple.

Huh, $92,000 and you want to be bearish? The real story is when Powell steps down and cuts interest rates in three months. --- $150,000? Let's see if we survive until summer before bragging. It's too early to talk about 2026 now. --- When the easing cycle starts, the crypto market will go crazy again. How many times have we seen this script? --- Wait, are they really going to cut rates? That would be interesting... --- What else is there to say in the late stage of the cycle? Now it's all about betting on the macro environment, right? --- Powell stepping down and immediately easing liquidity—can't argue with that logic. --- $150K is a bit of a dream, but all aspects are aligning indeed. --- Is Bitcoin about to take off again? I wonder if this time it can really break through. --- Money easing combined with the cycle, this market is truly alive.
