🚀 Federal Reserve Expected to Initiate Rate Cuts Amid Economic Concerns

According to PANews, Credit Mutuel Asset Management strategist Francois Rimeu anticipates that the Federal Reserve may begin a cycle of interest rate cuts this week, potentially extending until 2027. Rimeu suggests that the weakening economic activity and labor market necessitate more substantial monetary easing, predicting that the terminal rate will decrease to 3.1% by 2027, aligning closely with the long-term rate of 3%. The institution forecasts a 25 basis point rate cut this week, with another reduction expected later this year, followed by two additional cuts in 2026. Rates may stabilize in 2028. Data from the London Stock Exchange Group indicates that the U.S. money market currently expects nearly six rate cuts by the end of next year.

🚀 Market Analysis Highlights Broad Sell-Off Amid Unchanged Fundamentals

According to BlockBeats, a market analysis by KobeissiLetter indicates that nearly all asset classes are experiencing declines, with attempts at intraday rebounds being sold off, leading to widespread profit-taking. Despite this, the fundamentals remain unchanged, and even the healthiest bull markets undergo several downturns. The S&P 500 Index, which averages a 10% annual increase, typically experiences at least three declines of 5% or more each year.

Currently, the capital expenditure of the seven major U.S. stocks is projected to exceed $500 billion annually. A cycle of interest rate cuts has begun, monetary easing is a reality, and the artificial intelligence revolution is accelerating. Short-term declines should be regarded as noise and disregarded.

🚀 Global Interest Rate Cuts May Have Peaked, Analysts Suggest

According to BlockBeats, BiyaPay analysts indicate that the global cycle of interest rate cuts may have reached its peak. Data reveals that over the past two years, central banks worldwide have reduced interest rates more frequently than during the 2008 financial crisis. However, the effects of monetary easing may be nearing their end. Analysts from BiyaPay emphasize that this does not signal a tightening phase but rather a turning point in liquidity. If financial conditions become constrained, the high-level prosperity of stocks, bonds, commodities, and cryptocurrencies could face pressure. The future market dynamics will depend on the sustainability of liquidity.

🚀 U.S. Employment Data May Influence Federal Reserve's Rate Decisions

According to Odaily, Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson suggests that if this week's U.S. employment data shows moderate weakness, it could increase the likelihood of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Following three consecutive rate cuts, investors are analyzing these data points to determine whether the Federal Reserve is nearing the end of its monetary easing cycle or if more aggressive measures are needed. This week's U.S. economic data will largely fill the gaps caused by the government shutdown. The delayed monthly employment data is set to be released on Tuesday, with economists predicting an increase of 50,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 4.5%, indicating a labor market that is weak but not rapidly deteriorating. Consumer inflation data is scheduled for release on Thursday.

🚀 Crypto Market Anticipates Prolonged Bear Phase Before Recovery

According to BlockBeats, Greeks.Live researcher Adam has released a daily market brief indicating that the crypto community largely believes the market is currently in a bear phase. It is expected that after reaching the bottom, a consolidation period of 2-3 months will follow, with a true bull market potentially not emerging until after Christmas 2026.

There is a consensus in the market regarding Bitcoin's three-year consecutive rise, yet retail investors find it challenging to profit. Attention is also focused on whether a deflationary environment will lead to significant monetary easing. Some traders view the crypto market as a production relationship in the AI era, predicting that it will experience wide fluctuations in the short term and will not rise significantly until AI is fully realized.

🚀 Bitcoin's Decoupling from Global M2 Supply Sparks Debate Among Analysts

According to ChainCatcher, since mid-2025, Bitcoin has begun to decouple from the growth of the global M2 money supply, which includes cash, demand deposits, and time deposits. This trend became more pronounced at the beginning of 2026. Historically, the correlation between Bitcoin and M2 has been a basis for bullish predictions, but analysts are now deeply divided on this phenomenon.

A report from Fidelity Digital Assets in January maintained an optimistic outlook, suggesting that as the global monetary easing cycle begins and the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening plan ends, the M2 growth rate will continue to rise in 2026, benefiting Bitcoin's price. Analyst MartyParty predicts that Bitcoin's price will rebound to catch up with M2 growth.

However, Mister Crypto points out that Bitcoin's decoupling from M2 often signals a market peak, followed by a 2-4 year bear market. The founder of Capriole Investments believes the decoupling reflects the risk of quantum computing breaking Bitcoin's encryption. Despite the uncertainty, investors still view Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.

🚀 U.S. Companies Announce Layoffs Amid Recession Concerns

Major U.S. companies, including Amazon, Pinterest, and UPS, have announced significant layoffs, heightening fears of a potential recession. According to NS3.AI, the U.S. labor market is exhibiting signs of weakness, characterized by extended job searches and a declining likelihood of re-employment, which are exacerbating economic concerns. These challenges may exert pressure on risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies, in the short term. However, expectations of monetary easing could offer longer-term support.
