Macro Analysis Summary

1. Divergence of Institutional Views
Bullish: Some institutions believe that Fed rate cuts and policies under Trump could drive Bitcoin to new highs in 2026.

Bearish Adjustment: Standard Chartered has significantly downgraded its long-term forecast, lowering the 2026 target price from $300,000 to $150,000.

Traditional Market Signals: The US 10-year Treasury yield has risen to 4.19%, reflecting a more optimistic economic sentiment.

2. Fed Policy Divergence
Some officials believe more time is needed to evaluate data, and rate cuts may be delayed until late 2026.

Some warn that the labor market could weaken, and if unemployment rises to 6%, the Fed may need to accelerate rate cuts.

Market opinions on the timing of rate cuts remain divided, with forecasts generally centered between March and September, with phased reductions.

3. Geopolitics and Market Resilience
US military actions against Venezuela and other events have not caused significant Bitcoin declines, indicating some safe-haven attributes, and the market has shown signs of stability.
