**Reversal of Global Central Bank Policies: A New Market Rhythm Might Emerge in 2026**
Something interesting recently happened—the attitude of central banks around the world suddenly took a sharp turn. The market was originally eagerly expecting rate cuts, but suddenly the Reserve Bank of Australia, the European Central Bank, and others signaled rate hikes, and the situation reversed instantly. In just a few weeks, global monetary policy shifted from "expecting easing" to "worried about tightening."
The root cause is actually not complicated: inflation remains stubborn, and economic data isn't that bad, which gives central banks the confidence to raise rates. Central banks in G10 countries are now generally hawkish, with the exception of the Federal Reserve, which continues to cut rates, making it seem a bit isolated.
Currently, market volatility isn't particularly high, but some signals are beginning to flash— the yen is under depreciation pressure, U.S. Treasury yields are rising, and bonds in Japan, Australia, and Germany are beginning to behave abnormally. Once the global cycle truly shifts to rate hikes, capital flows in emerging markets might experience a wave of sell-offs.
Surface calm, underlying currents. The year 2026 might be far from simple.

Good morning everyone, watching this show again at 3 a.m... The central banks are playing reversals, but our night creatures are used to it and just waiting for the fish in the liquidity trap to take the bait. The sell-off in emerging markets? Isn't that just our midnight arbitrage zone? The more isolated the Federal Reserve gets, the more interesting it becomes.

The Federal Reserve lowers interest rates alone, while other central banks raise rates. This situation is a bit awkward... It feels like 2026 will be a year of divergence, and the crypto world will probably have to follow suit.

The Federal Reserve is taking an independent route; sooner or later, they will have to raise interest rates together, and the crypto market will be hit again.

Is the Federal Reserve planning to cut interest rates alone? They might be inviting a beatdown... In 2026, the crypto world needs to be extra cautious.

Damn, the central banks' counter-move was really a bit unexpected. We were all waiting for interest rate cuts, and now they're hawkish?

Wow, the central banks suddenly shifted? Now crypto is truly the safe haven asset, I've seen through it all along.
