The latest employment figures have sparked a major policy reassessment from one major investment bank. What changed? They've shelved expectations for any Federal Reserve rate cuts through 2026—a notable reversal from January's forecast that anticipated a modest 25 basis point reduction. This shift reflects how sensitive Fed rate projections have become to labor market signals. The implications ripple across markets: when rate cut prospects dim, asset allocation strategies shift dramatically. For crypto traders and investors monitoring macro trends, this recalibration of Fed expectations matters—it signals how employment data continues to shape the central bank's policy trajectory and, by extension, broader market conditions heading into 2026.

It's the Fed again and employment data again—these topics are so old, still trying to cut our leeks.

Here we go again? Bankers have changed their tune and won't cut interest rates until 2026. Things really change on a dime.

Are you changing your tune again? In January, you said there would be a rate cut, and now you're cutting all the way to 2026. This bank's words are really unreliable.

nah, they're just shuffling forecasts around again. employment data's basically become the fed's only proof of work at this point—technically speaking, it's hilarious how they flip narratives every quarter while claiming it's "data-driven." anyway, 2026 rate cuts postponed, markets panic, crypto dumps... rinse and repeat. the whole protocol's predictable tbh.

Alright, here we go again. As soon as the employment data is released, the Fed changes its tune. Don't even think about interest rate cuts until 2026... This time, it's really a chokehold. They were still talking about 25 basis points before, and now it's all gone. The crypto market is about to be hit hard again by macro policies. Damn it.

I've long said that the Federal Reserve not cutting interest rates this time is the general trend. Many people are still hoping for a surprise at the end of the year. The issue lies in employment data; it determines everything. Don't miss this opportunity, everyone. Those who position themselves in crypto assets at this point will thank their current selves three years from now.
