THIS WEEK LITERALLY DECIDES 2026 FOR MARKETS & CRYPTO
Why this week matters more than anything:
MONDAY: Markets digesting AI leaders calling for a "slowdown" in AI development. Liquidity already shaky.
TUESDAY: Clarity Act vote. Trump caved on some Dem demands—now 7/10 Dems might flip yes. If it passes, not final yet, but sets up debate + final vote. This is the regulatory unlock crypto's been waiting for.
WEDNESDAY: Fed rate decision. 82% chance they HIKE. That's bearish as hell for risk assets. If they hike AND signal more hikes? Worst case scenario for $BTC and alts.
FRIDAY: BOJ rate decision. 97% of Reuters economists expect a HIKE. If they do, Yen carry trade unwinds = forced selling across the board. Remember August 2024? Yeah, that.
This isn't FUD. This is macro reality hitting all at once.
Question is: are central banks really this hawkish, or are analysts overweighting the bearish scenario? Either way, volatility is guaranteed.
