10x Research: Everyone is optimistic about 2026, but the data doesn't support this view.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that 10x Research, in an article published on the X platform, states that despite widespread market optimism, some closely watched indicators are beginning to diverge, a divergence that historically foreshadows shifts in market dynamics. Inflation dynamics, labor market trends, and interest rate expectations are no longer moving in sync, creating a macroeconomic backdrop far more fragile than superficial optimism suggests. Meanwhile, major asset classes are signaling that their leading positions may be narrowing, and volatility may not be under control in the long run. Market realities may soon become less forgiving. Now is a crucial time to focus on fundamental data. Investors need to decide for themselves whether to continue betting entirely on optimistic 2026 expectations or shift to a more defensive strategy. As we wrote at the end of October, only those who sell at the highs can buy at the lows. Since then, Bitcoin has fallen 23%, and this volatility now appears to be spreading to other risk assets.
