One of the major investment banks has changed its stance. While they said in December that the Fed would not touch interest rates, now they expect a 25 basis point cut.
What’s even more interesting is this: As we enter 2026, they foresee two more 25-point cuts each in January and April. That means busy days are ahead for Powell’s team.

Haha, the Fed keeps changing its stance just like I do when trading crypto—one narrative at the start of the year and a different tune by year-end. These investment banks are the same way: first, they scare the market, then they do the opposite and profit from both sides.

Ha, this again? Last month they were hyping up the Fed holding rates steady, and now they're already singing the rate cut tune... These major banks really are the weathervanes—changing direction at a moment’s notice.
Four cuts in 2026? That's funny. At this rate, Powell will have to work overtime every day.

It should be pointed out that the reversal in stance by these investment banks essentially reflects the huge gap between on-chain data and real economic fundamentals. There’s no doubt about it—they were adamant in December about maintaining interest rates, but now they’re forecasting three consecutive rate cuts. This clearly proves that the predictive models used by traditional financial institutions have completely failed.
According to white paper-level historical comparisons, the eve of the 2008 subprime crisis also saw this kind of fickleness. Let me say this: true safe-haven assets are never found in the Fed’s interest rate decisions, but in Bitcoin’s block height—and that is no coincidence.
Laughable—yet another round of “professionals” overturning themselves. I’ve long said that fiat policy is destined to be a dead end.

Huh? Still stubbornly denying it in December, and now they're already starting to expect rate cuts? These big banks really just say whatever comes to mind.

Haha, they've changed their tune again. These big banks really just hedge their bets and follow the wind. Last year they were so confident, now they've chickened out like this. Powell must be exhausted.

Is the Fed about to start printing money again? Is this a good time to buy the dip?

Are the big banks changing their tune again? This flip-flopping is just like my mindset when trading crypto, haha.
Fed rate cuts? Better wait and see, I’ve seen this play too many times.
Powell must be overwhelmed these past few months. Rate cuts all the way to 2026? Feels like there’s still uncertainty.
Whoever can short the dollar early this round is set.

The big banks suddenly changed their stance—forget it, I’ll just lie flat with my eyes closed… Wait, three consecutive 25bp rate cuts? Are they planning to fleece retail investors?
