The second installment of our 2026 market outlook just dropped. We're breaking down how major assets are likely to move through the year — covering the Dollar Index, S&P 500, gold, copper, and crude oil.

If macro trends shape your portfolio decisions, this one's worth the read. We've also included a quick summary on USD strength ($DXY) for those short on time.

These asset classes don't operate in isolation — understanding where traditional markets are headed matters for anyone positioned in crypto and alternative assets.

You really need to keep an eye on the DXY, the strength or weakness of the US dollar directly affects the entire crypto market.

Macroeconomic judgment has always been a form of mysticism, but Bitcoin still follows its own path.

Is macro really that important? It seems like the crypto world is mostly self-congratulatory.

The macroeconomic situation really determines everything; we need to keep a close eye on DXY.

Is DXY about to surge again? Every time the US dollar is strong, the crypto market starts to tremble...

I agree with the strong dollar part, but to be honest, can the DXY rally sustain until the end of the year... feels like the risks are quite hidden.

The macro narrative is back. Can we get it right this time?

Macroeconomic forecasts are back again. It seems like I can spot some patterns every time, but when it comes to actually making money, everything tends to go against those predictions.

With such a complex macro environment, can the strength of the US dollar truly safeguard crypto?

The macro forecast looks pretty good, but I just have a feeling we said the same thing last year.
