Recently, the wave of "Federal Reserve's precise rate cut roadmap for 2026" has made many people feel overly optimistic. A 25 basis point cut in March, another round in June—sounds as reliable as watching a fixed-plot TV drama. But what is the truth? It’s just some big bank analysts’ brainchild, a "pie" they cooked up on a whim.

Reality has poured a cold water on the market. The Fed officials' attitude is very clear: "The data isn’t in place yet, why rush?" The latest dot plot directly reveals the truth—there might only be one rate cut throughout the year, and some hawkish officials even threaten to "not cut at all." Currently, the market’s probability of a rate cut in March has fallen below 40%, a chance harder to hit than pulling a hidden card.

Why is it so difficult? Inflation remains sticky, economic growth can still support the current situation, and Powell’s "wait-and-see" approach is playing perfectly. Any black swan—resurgence of inflation, escalation of geopolitical tensions, sudden changes in fiscal policy—could shatter all expectations of rate cuts.

So, how should the money in hand be allocated? If a rate cut really happens, government bonds are the first choice—steady and earning interest. Then, tech growth stocks, which have room for valuation recovery; the Nasdaq might take off. As for cryptocurrencies? Honestly, it’s a sentiment-driven market—rising to the sky when bullish, halving when bearish, requiring strong psychological resilience.

What’s the bottom line? There might be rate cuts in 2026, but the timing and magnitude are all part of a chess game. Don’t be brainwashed by headlines like "bottom-fishing for quick riches." The real defense is to closely monitor data and control your positions. If the hawkish Fed opens its mouth, and you’re still fully invested, you’ll only see your account turn green and feel like crying. Rational observation and cautious operation are the way to survive until Bitcoin truly takes off.

Here is the translation: Once again, it's the same old rate cut "pie," they keep pulling the same stunt every time. I don't believe it anymore. --- A 40% probability? Might as well gamble on a blind box, at least you can get something out of it. --- Powell's wait-and-see approach is really impressive, just waiting for a black swan to harvest the leeks. --- The crypto sentiment chart is spot on. When it's high, you get crushed; when it's low, you can't catch up. It's exhausting. --- Full position betting is basically asking for death. Green screen with a salted fish look, that's a social security level move. --- Government bonds are indeed stable, but boring. Bitcoin is too刺激, so we still need to find a middle ground. --- This article is quite clear-headed, without the smell of "get rich quick" secrets. --- They shout about rate cuts before the data even comes out. How are these analysts so daring? --- It's important to monitor the data closely, but I'm more afraid of Powell suddenly changing his stance. That moment would be true despair. --- Is there room for tech stocks to recover? Let's first see if they can recover, and not fall again.

It's another analyst's pie-in-the-sky prediction time, a rate cut in March? I doubt it. Breaking below a 40% probability is even harder than pulling off a hidden model, so true haha. Powell's wait-and-see approach is absolutely perfect, just waiting to watch the show. Crypto is definitely an emotional market; tears flowed at the moment of halving. Don't be brainwashed by the clickbait titles about getting rich overnight. Brothers with full positions, keep going. Treasury bonds paying interest is truly awesome, extremely stable. Black swans can appear at any time, always be prepared. If your psychological resilience isn't enough, don't touch coins, you'll really regret it. Data is king, position control is essential, this is the way to survive. Who can say for sure in 2026? It's all just a gamble.

Here comes the same "precise roadmap" again? Ugh, I'm already tired of it. Analysts just draw a big pie, and some people actually believe it.

Another wave of hype, just listen and don't take it seriously. --- 40% chance? I bet 5 bucks it will keep falling. --- Kunweil's "wait-and-see" strategy is truly absolute, just sitting steadily at the fishing platform. --- Crypto stuff really requires a gambling mentality to play; your heart needs to be big enough. --- Instead of betting on rate cuts, focus on inflation data—that's real gold and silver. --- Government bonds are stable, tech stocks have potential, just don't go all-in betting on rate cuts, it's risky. --- Black swan events can happen at any time; a shift in the Federal Reserve's stance can wipe everything out. --- The title "Bottoming Out and Getting Rich" is too toxic, wake up everyone. --- The taste of green light accounts, I know it way too well.

What kind of roadmap is this again? Always the same routine, it's making my ears calloused. Lowering interest rates is easier than pulling hidden models? Then I need to save up more bullets. In the crypto game, prices rise and fall quickly, my heart probably can't keep up anymore. Brothers holding full positions, cry in front of the green screen, I'm out first. Kunweil's "wait-and-see method," to put it simply, is just waiting to watch the show.
