Odaily News Data shows the 52-week correlation between Bitcoin and gold has fallen to zero for the first time since mid-2022 and could turn negative by the end of January. Historically, under similar circumstances, Bitcoin has typically risen by an average of 56% within about two months, corresponding to a price range of approximately $144,000 to $150,000. From a cycle structure perspective, analysts believe Bitcoin's price action is mirroring the 2020–2021 bull market path, having transitioned from a long-term consolidation phase into the early stage of a "quasi-parabolic" rise. If the historical fractal pattern continues, BTC's target price for this cycle could point to around $150,000. The divergence between Bitcoin and gold's price movements often signals that BTC is poised for a strong performance. The current macro environment is also seen as favorable, including a rebound in global liquidity (M2 growth) and the nearing end of the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening (QT). Matt Hougan, Head of Research at Bitwise, stated that a new global monetary easing cycle has begun and could continue to drive Bitcoin prices higher through 2026. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News Federal Reserve's Mousalem stated that inflation risks are easing, and he expects prices to begin moving back towards the Fed's target later this year. Mousalem noted that following last year's rate cuts, the Fed's monetary policy is well-positioned to address risks to price stability or employment. He indicated that current interest rates are near a neutral level—neither stimulating nor restraining the economy—and reiterated that with inflation still elevated, there is no need for further rate cuts. "I expect inflation to resume moving closer to our 2% target this year. Today's inflation data in this regard is encouraging," Mousalem said on Tuesday. "I believe the current policy stance is very appropriate, balancing both the expected economic path and various risks." (Jin10)
