The true test of 2026 is here: central bank policies are completely misaligned. Are you ready with your positions?
@@@ JPMorgan expects only one rate cut for the year, while Goldman Sachs has announced a series of rate cuts starting in March—this is not just a divergence in expectations but a showdown between exploding unemployment data and stubborn inflation. Even more concerning: Japan and Europe may hike rates in the opposite direction, while the Federal Reserve continues to loosen policy. If this combination of central bank actions materializes, cross-border capital will instantly reverse course, and the crypto market will become the biggest pressure zone.
🔥 Crypto has become a safe haven for policy loopholes:
· The 24/7 liquidity pool is now a "policy misalignment floodgate," with funds seeking an exit · The correlation between Bitcoin and US stocks has sharply decreased—this is a sign that risk-averse narratives 2.0 are truly coming · On-chain US Treasury tokenization (like USTB) is becoming a new channel for traditional finance to enter
💡 Frontline traders are watching these:
1️⃣ US debt yield spread turning positive + BTC open interest surpassing $40 billion—both happening simultaneously is a danger signal 2️⃣ Exchange stablecoin reserve ratio (SSR) exceeding 5.0? That’s the golden moment for on-chain bottom fishing 3️⃣ What if the black swan really arrives: cash reserves + BTC put options + gold—these three can survive
What’s the worst-case scenario? A collision between rate hikes in Japan and Europe and rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could trigger:
· A sudden 3%+ drop in the US dollar in one day · Collective liquidation of arbitrage funds · Instant freeze of liquidity in altcoins
In short, the money of 2026 is hiding in the cracks of traditional finance. When the central bank credit system begins to reshape, on-chain Treasuries and compliant collateral will become standard for institutions. Or will algorithmic stablecoins face another stress test? This is a true rewriting of the game rules.

JPMorgan cuts interest rates once vs. Goldman Sachs three times, the difference... it's really each saying their own thing. Who should I believe? Anyway, I'm panicking, still holding BTC tightly. Should I consider splitting my position, brother?

This round of actions by the central bank is really a face-slapping, with JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs saying almost the opposite—completely different worlds. I don't dare to hold heavy positions on anything right now, just holding some BTC to watch the US bond yield spread. Feels like 2026 is indeed a bit uncertain.

The central bank's combination punch is indeed outrageous, but to be honest, I haven't seen many instances of SSR exceeding 5.0; each time is just a false breakout. I'm still waiting for the US bond yield spread signal; otherwise, it's still too early to act.

The central banks are contradicting each other, are we just waiting to reap the benefits? I knew it was time to act when SSR exceeded 5.0

Whenever the central bank disagrees and fights, we sit back and watch the show, profiting from the spread—this is the true brilliance of crypto.

The central bank is playing mahjong, each blowing their own horn. When the funds actually flow onto the chain, we might end up being the last bagholders.
