Institutional forecasts latest spark market attention—by 2026, the scale of rate cuts may be far less optimistic than expected. Meanwhile, liquidity has been compressed to an extreme state, and technicals are accumulating energy.

The signals released by the dot plot are worth pondering. The entire year may only see symbolic rate cuts, which sharply contrast with the currently highly tense technical landscape. Key support is around 3010, with a defensive line below at 2980. Dense liquidation zones hang overhead, and any breakout in either direction could trigger intense volatility.

Wall Street research institutions are divided. Some shout "zero rate cuts," while others are optimistic about "two rate cuts," reflecting the complexity of the macro situation. The FOMC meeting at the end of January is approaching, which will be the first opportunity to test expectations against reality.

When macro uncertainty is high and liquidity is severely compressed, the market stands at a crossroads. Can an upward breakout open room for gains? Can a downward retest complete accumulation and layout? The answers will be revealed in the coming weeks.

It's the same old story again, always saying we're at a crossroads, but what happens? I'm already fed up.

Liquidity is compressed to the limit, this is the calm before the storm, it feels like a big move is coming.

The rate cut expectation has reversed again. Where's the promised easing? Laughing to death, this bunch on Wall Street is really addicted to gambling. If it can't go below 3010 or hold above 2980, these two numbers will determine my life for the next few months. I can't take it anymore. The real highlight is when the FOMC arrives. Anything said now is pointless. Just wait to be proven wrong. With liquidity squeezed like this, dare to say it's absorbing funds? Wake up, they're just trying to cut the leeks. Breakthrough, breakthrough, everyone keeps talking about breakthroughs. But when it really happens, why does no one come out to speak? Short-term looks too uncomfortable. This market is really playing psychological warfare.

The rate cut expectations have been dashed again. This time, even the institutions can't align their forecasts, hilarious.

Here comes the old trick of "macro uncertainty" again. Every time they talk about key support, but it still gets broken with a single poke.

The rate cut has shrunk, and this round is really testing the mentality. Can the 3010 level hold?

It's the same story again. The interest rate cut expectations keep getting dashed. Does anyone still believe the narrative from the institutions?

Zero interest rate cut? Two rate cuts? That's nonsense, anyway no one knows what will happen at the end of January.
