ChainCatcher News, according to Golden Ten Data, JPMorgan no longer expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in 2026, after previously forecasting a 25 basis point rate cut in January. JPMorgan now expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 25 basis points in the third quarter of 2027.

According to ChainCatcher, citing Golden Ten Data, Bill Ackman, CEO of hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, stated that the Federal Reserve may abandon its 2% inflation target. He expects the Fed to set the inflation target in the 2.5% - 3% range, and pointed out that many strong forces will drive the economy and the overall market, making it difficult to imagine an environment completely free of inflationary pressures.

PANews reported on January 12 that Matrixport's analysis in today's chart indicates that the new year has started relatively calmly, but market sentiment is gradually warming up. Notably, its proprietary "Greed and Fear Index" moving average has shown clear signs of bottoming out. Historically, such signals often appear when bitcoin is nearing a local bottom. Against this backdrop, the market is more likely to enter an upward correction, and the risk of continued decline has eased. However, it should be noted that this does not mean prices will quickly return to historical highs. With sentiment stabilizing, downside risks are more likely to remain within a controllable range. Looking back to late October, the institution had previously indicated in its "Matrix onTarget" weekly report that the possibility of a larger-scale correction was relatively high at that time. Entering 2026, the environment for unilateral long strategies may still not be favorable; whether one can maintain discipline and capture swings in a more tactical manner may become the key to widening the gap in returns.
