BREAKING: 2026 CPI DATA EXPECTATIONS & MACRO OUTLOOK 🔔

The first major inflation data of 2026 is approaching, and the "Big Four" banks are divided. As the market shifts into the 2026 cycle, these numbers will dictate the next move for #Bitcoin and $USDC .

THE WALL STREET FORECASTS (2026 Projections)

Institution CPI / Core PCE Forecast Market Stance

JPMorgan 2.8% - 3.5% (Sticky) ⚠️ Bearish: 35% Recession Risk

Morgan Stanley 2.5% - 2.8% ⚖️ Neutral: "Moderate Growth"

Bank of America 2.8% (End of 2026) 🛡️ Cautious: Inflation remains flat

Oxford Economics 2.2% (Optimistic) 🚀 Bullish: Rapid cooling by Q4

Federal Reserve 2.4% (Target) 🎯 Goal: Converging to 2%

💡 TRADER’S ALPHA:

Higher than 2.8%: Likely to cause a DXY (Dollar Index) spike and a crypto sell-off as rate cut hopes fade.

Lower than 2.4%: The "Goldilocks" scenario—expect a massive rally in $BTC and high-risk Altcoins.

💬 THE BIG QUESTION:

Will the Fed manage a "Soft Landing" in 2026, or is "Sticky Inflation" here to stay?
