The S&P 500 is approaching the 7,000 mark, driven by an unprecedented 8-month winning streak. As the Fed gears up for a projected 50–75 basis points of easing in 2026, the pressing question isn't just about potential market surges, but the direction in which capital will flow. 🔄 The Great Rotation: Tech vs. Value If the Fed leans towards rate cuts, historical patterns suggest two potential outcomes: Tech Dominance: Reduced rates often serve as a catalyst for growth stocks, such as AI and semi-conductors. Analysts anticipate AI infrastructure spending to surpass $500 billion this year, keeping technology at the forefront. Traditional Catch-up: On the flip side, we observe a "K-shaped" recovery. If Japan's "Sanaenomics" and US fiscal stimulus prove effective, capital could rotate into high-quality value sectors that were previously neglected in 2025. ⛓️ Will Crypto Follow or Decouple? This is an intriguing point for us at Gate Square. The Correlation Trap: In 2025, BTC and the S&P 500 moved synchronously due to institutional ETF flows.

The Decoupling Thesis: Certain players are betting that 2026 represents a schism in the "4-year cycle." With BTC evolving into a mainstream corporate treasury asset (over 170 public companies now holding), it may start behaving like "Digital Gold"—decoupling from risk-on tech and serving as a sovereign hedge against fiat depreciation. 🔮 My 2026 Prediction: I anticipate "Selective Coupling." Large-cap leaders like $BTC and $ETH are likely to remain tied to macro liquidity trends, but high-utility Web3 infrastructure and Real World Asset (RWA) protocols may decouple and trade based on their fundamental adoption.
