Senior Wall Street analyst Tom Lee recently made a heavyweight prediction: the Federal Reserve is likely to shift its policy stance around 2026, gradually moving from the current tightening stance to a dovish one.
This shift may sound like a numbers game, but what does it really imply? Once policies loosen, financing costs will decrease accordingly. This is not just a numerical change—corporate financing pressures will ease immediately, and investment confidence will also pick up. What's next? Companies will be more proactive in planning capital expenditures, and hiring activity may accelerate.
For investors, this means risk assets could gain new support. Stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies will all experience different capital flows in this broader context. Interestingly, market reactions to policy shifts often precede the broader sentiment change—seasoned investors tend to position themselves early.
Looking back at history, whenever there are clear signals of policy shifts, they often herald the start of a new market cycle. Will 2026 become such a watershed? For now, paying close attention to the performance of risk assets like BTC, BIFI, TNSR might be worth deeper consideration for investors.

It's still early for 2026, but提前布局 (early planning) is indeed interesting.
This wave of BTC still depends on the end-of-year trend, let's wait and see.
With financing costs down, companies hiring? Haha, capitalists who need to cut will still cut.
When the dovish stance comes, is it necessarily good news for crypto? Will history repeat itself? It's hard to say.
Whether Li's predictions are reliable can be judged by looking at his previous track record.
I've heard of TNSR, definitely paying attention to BTC, but how to assess the risk?
Actually, now is still a good time to buy or wait, I'm a bit unsure.

Predicting 2026 again? To be honest, I've heard Tom Lee's rhetoric quite a few times... but a dovish shift is indeed a topic, and retail investors will have to follow the trend and copy trades again.
Should we go all-in now? Or try to dip our toes in with some BTC first... Feeling conflicted.
History always repeats itself; it all depends on who can catch the right rhythm this time.
When financing costs ease, funds will indeed flow into risk assets. This logic makes sense... but will the market really move as expected?
2026 is still so far away; by then, it will be another different story, haha.
Those who laid out early have already made a fortune. We, who are late to the game, can only watch in frustration.

Tom Lee's prediction hits the mark: a dovish turn in 2026... Basically, another rate cut is coming, which is a huge positive for crypto.
Wait, does this mean that those who are positioning early will make a fortune again? Should have hoarded more BTC earlier.
Talking about 2026 is a bit far ahead, but history does repeat itself... Capital flows don't lie, risk assets are about to take off.
