According to @KobeissiLetter, continued rate cuts amid stagflation are fueling nominal appreciation across asset classes, making asset ownership the primary hedge against a widening wealth gap; source: @KobeissiLetter. For trading, this stance favors staying allocated to broad assets rather than idle cash and monitoring policy easing signals and inflation data to gauge the strength of the nominal upswing; source: @KobeissiLetter.

According to The Kobeissi Letter, large companies do not need rate cuts to sustain momentum, while consumer-focused cuts are coming and could further support equity indices (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, Dec 8, 2025). According to The Kobeissi Letter, this concentration and policy backdrop underpin their forecast that the S&P 500 could reach 7000+ as leadership remains with mega-cap names (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, Dec 8, 2025).

According to @CryptoMichNL, the first days of the month are usually bearish, which adds a downside bias near-term for risk assets, source: @CryptoMichNL. According to @CryptoMichNL, quantitative tightening has been reduced and its impact will take time to filter through liquidity and markets, source: @CryptoMichNL. According to @CryptoMichNL, this week’s focus is U.S. unemployment data, which he views as the primary trigger for whether the Fed deems current rate cuts sufficient, with labor conditions outweighing inflation in the reaction function, source: @CryptoMichNL. According to @CryptoMichNL, if unemployment rises more than expected, recession concerns will intensify and QE becomes likely, shifting the policy stance from QT to QE, source: @CryptoMichNL.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Fed’s Collins said a mildly restrictive monetary policy stance is appropriate right now and she is hesitant to move ahead with rate cuts while inflation remains high (source: @StockMKTNewz). For traders, this hawkish tone points to a higher-for-longer bias that can keep front-end yields and the US dollar supported, a backdrop that often pressures risk assets including BTC and ETH on Fed-related headlines (source: @StockMKTNewz; source: Federal Reserve Monetary Policy Report).

According to Miles Deutscher, stocks fell despite strong NVDA earnings because AI/valuation concerns resurfaced with a growing late-cycle tone, stronger economic data reduced rate-cut expectations, and policy uncertainty weighed on risk appetite, source: Miles Deutscher (X, Nov 21, 2025). For crypto traders, these equity risk-off drivers have historically spilled over to BTC and ETH via rising equity-crypto correlation during tightening phases, so monitoring AI megacap leadership (NVDA) and rate-cut odds is key for liquidity-sensitive positioning, sources: IMF blog 'Crypto Prices Move More in Sync With Stocks' by Tobias Adrian, Tara Iyer, and Mahvash Qureshi (Jan 2022); Miles Deutscher (X, Nov 21, 2025).

According to André Dragosch, he expects many investors will regret selling BTC over the next 6-12 months because he anticipates a major liquidity expansion, stating that the printer is coming big time source: André Dragosch on X, Nov 17, 2025. Historical evidence shows that expansions in global liquidity have coincided with stronger performance in risk assets including Bitcoin, indicating a potential bullish catalyst if liquidity easing materializes source: Bank for International Settlements, Quarterly Review June 2023. Traders can position around this thesis by monitoring forward rate expectations, central bank balance sheets, and Treasury cash and bill issuance that directly affect bank reserves and system liquidity source: CME Group FedWatch Tool; Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System H.4.1; U.S. Department of the Treasury Quarterly Refunding documents. For confirmation, market participants often track real yields and broad dollar indexes as proxies for financial conditions that can drive crypto flows source: Federal Reserve Economic Data FRED for 10-year TIPS yields and broad trade-weighted dollar index.

According to @KobeissiLetter, policymakers are adding liquidity via eight catalysts: planned US $2,000 stimulus checks, a Japan $110B package, a China $1.4T package, the Fed ending QT on December 1, ~$1.9T annual US Treasury issuance, Canada restarting QE, record $137T global M2, and 320+ rate cuts over 24 months (source: The Kobeissi Letter). The author argues these developments raise the risk of another inflation wave that markets must price (source: The Kobeissi Letter). For crypto trading, liquidity expansion and debasement concerns have historically supported large-cap crypto like BTC and ETH as monetary debasement hedges; monitor confirmation through inflation expectations and real-yield dynamics (source: ARK Invest; source: Federal Reserve FRED). Key signals to watch include US 5y5y inflation expectations and breakeven rates, DXY, and US 10Y real yields to gauge risk-on versus risk-off conditions (source: Federal Reserve FRED). Track crypto-native liquidity via stablecoin net issuance and aggregate free-float supply, which have correlated with market breadth in prior cycles (source: Coin Metrics; source: Kaiko Research). Tactically, if stimulus/QE headlines are confirmed alongside rising breakevens and a softer DXY, momentum setups in BTC, ETH, and other high-liquidity assets tend to improve; conversely, a jump in real yields with a stronger dollar argues for tighter risk and rally fades until liquidity data turn (source: Federal Reserve FRED; source: ARK Invest).

Dec 19 wraps with final Q3 GDP, November personal income and spending, and existing home sales, where weak data would bring forward support and strong data would push the cut timeline out, source: @BullTheoryio.

According to @LexSokolin, markets remain in a stress-test phase caught between hawkish signals and dovish expectations, with the next 12 months described as not gentle (source: @LexSokolin on X, Nov 10, 2025). This view underscores elevated volatility risk for risk assets and liquidity conditions, with potential spillovers to crypto majors like BTC and ETH as macro paths oscillate between rate cuts and a hard landing (source: @LexSokolin on X, Nov 10, 2025). Traders can respond by tightening risk limits, keeping higher cash buffers, and using options-based hedges to manage drawdowns and volatility spikes while monitoring shifts in hawkish and dovish tone (source: @LexSokolin on X, Nov 10, 2025).

According to Crypto Rover, a combination of the U.S. government reopening, upcoming rate cuts, new stimulus checks, the end of quantitative tightening, and potential quantitative easing in 2026 creates a bullish macro backdrop for risk assets like BTC and ETH, source: Crypto Rover.

According to @cryptorover, U.S. inflation is easing and rate-cut expectations are rising, which he views as bullish for Bitcoin and crypto (source: @cryptorover on X). Traders should verify any disinflation trend and policy repricing by checking the latest CPI/PCE prints and Fed funds futures probabilities before positioning (sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis; CME FedWatch Tool). When real yields and the dollar weaken on dovish repricing, BTC has historically outperformed risk assets, a relationship observable by comparing BTC with U.S. 2-year Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar Index during prior softer-inflation episodes such as November 2023 (sources: TradingView price data; U.S. Department of the Treasury; ICE U.S. Dollar Index DXY; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics historical CPI release). Mechanically, lower expected policy rates reduce discount rates and support risk-asset valuations, increasing liquidity appetite that has tended to benefit crypto in past easing cycles (source: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Monetary Policy Report).
