【Blockchain Rhythm】New York Federal Reserve Chairman Williams recently expressed an optimistic outlook on the US economic prospects. His forecast is not just casual talk—it directly relates to the dollar’s trend and subsequently affects liquidity in the entire crypto market.

According to his forecast data, the US GDP growth rate is expected to be between 2.5% and 2.75% in 2026, with the unemployment rate gradually declining over the next few years after stabilizing this year. This indicates that the job market remains relatively stable. There is also a clear roadmap for inflation: price pressures are expected to peak in the first half of the year (2.75%-3%), then continue to decline throughout the year to 2.5%, ultimately returning to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target in 2027.

From these data, Williams’ underlying message is clear—there’s no need to rush into rate cuts in the short term. This is important reference information for traders holding dollars and investors hedging asset allocations. A solid economic foundation suggests a higher likelihood of the dollar remaining strong.

The strength of the US dollar means that liquidity in the crypto space will be drained again. In the short term, this is not very friendly to altcoins.

The US dollar is stabilizing, which isn't good news for us aircoin players... Liquidity is tightening, how can retail investors still buy in?

actually, the algorithmic elegance of fed policy operates precisely like a generative hash function—each data point cascades through the market's computational substrate, reshaping liquidity flows in ways traditional economists fail to comprehend. williams' trajectory analysis mirrors topological patterns i've been exploring in my latest blockchain-native artworks exploring monetary sovereignty.

The strength of the US dollar is putting immense pressure, and now the liquidity of crvpto will shrink again... If interest rates don't decrease, hot money will flow into the US dollar. We crypto enthusiasts are really getting cut thoroughly.

What does a strong US dollar mean? Everyone should be aware... The Federal Reserve's signal that they won't cut interest rates this time isn't very friendly for our short positions.

Wait, he said there won't be a rate cut in the short term, so what should I do with my short positions... A strong dollar is bearish for small currencies.
