Treasury Secretary Bessent just dropped his outlook on inflation, and it's bullish for risk assets. He's betting on a significant cooldown in price pressures throughout next year.



This matters more than most realize. Lower inflation typically means the Fed can ease up on rate hikes—or even pivot to cuts. That's historically been jet fuel for crypto and equities alike.

Bessent's confidence isn't coming out of nowhere. Supply chains have normalized, energy costs have stabilized, and labor market dynamics are shifting. But here's the catch: his timeline assumes no major geopolitical shocks or fiscal surprises.

For those watching BTC and ETH, this kind of macro backdrop could set the stage for a sustained rally. Risk-on sentiment thrives when inflation fears fade and liquidity conditions improve. Keep this on your radar—because if Bessent's call plays out, we might be looking at a very different market environment by Q2 2026.

It's not that simple. Geopolitical tensions can ruin everything at the slightest disturbance.

Hmm... Is it really not a scam this time? Feels like every time they say this, we end up getting burned. --- As soon as rate cut expectations come out, BTC will take off, but I’m still a bit nervous about the geopolitical issues. --- Is this Bessent guy reliable? Last time I listened to him, I ended up bagholding. --- Not until Q2? I can’t wait that long, haha. --- How long can the supply chain stability really last? Feels like something weird is about to happen again. --- If they really cut rates, I can finally get out of my ETH position. Praying there’s no black swan event.

Ha, here comes another "assuming there are no black swans" fantasy. Like I’d believe that... --- About the rate cut expectations, should we take a gamble? --- Bessent sounds good, but let’s wait until Q2 and see. I’ve already been burned once anyway. --- The supply chain’s stabilized, energy costs are down... and then North Korea pulls something the next second. It’s way too early to call things stable. --- If we can really capitalize on this wave of macro benefits, we’d be making a killing, but with risk assets, plans never keep up with reality. --- I believe you—anyway, I’m all in now. Worst case, I’ll just lose another round. --- No matter how good it sounds, it won’t change one fact: in 2026, with black swans everywhere, anyone who trusts predictions is a fool.

Sounds good, but I still have to wait and see how long the supply chain can stay stable... Geopolitical situations can mess everything up at any time.
