Five prominent Wall Street investors are sharing their takes on how artificial intelligence, interest rate trajectories, and mounting economic pressures will shape markets through 2026. Their outlooks matter—not just for traditional finance, but for crypto investors calibrating their macro exposure. AI's continued integration into productivity metrics will likely influence risk appetite; simultaneously, the Fed's rate policy remains a critical lever affecting capital flows across all asset classes. Economic headwinds—whether inflationary persistence or growth slowdowns—could trigger rotations between risk-on and risk-off positioning. For anyone holding crypto or diversified portfolios, understanding these institutional perspectives helps frame the broader macro backdrop. The consensus (or divergence) among top-tier investors often signals where liquidity may concentrate in the coming quarters.

Are you trying to fool us again with the predictions of these Wall Street folks? What did they say last year? Now that AI is so hot, no one can predict interest rates. It's okay to listen, but don't believe everything. The Fed's actions are the real thing; that's the ultimate weapon that determines the coin price.

Damn, it's those Wall Street folks giving advice again... But I have to listen carefully, after all, they do have a lot of money. What about AI? Feels like everyone's just blowing bubbles; as long as the index can go up, it's fine. The Federal Reserve moves, and we follow; there's no other way. Liquidity is the key, let's see which of these big shots will win, and follow them. Wait, is this year's or next year's matter? Anyway, we must always be prepared. AI is going crazy, but interest rates are the real issue; the economy is pumping liquidity again, and the crypto circle is just watching the macro chess game. The bigger the disagreements among the big influencers, the better, it means opportunities are right there. 2026? Still early, let's survive 2025 first.

It's the same old story... AI, interest rates, economic pressure—can they really predict 2026? Wall Street folks have already been proven wrong so many times.

It sounds like the same old tune again, every time they talk about Fed policies and AI changing everything, but the crypto market still experiences wild surges and crashes. I really can't understand what these Wall Street big shots are thinking.

It's the same "big shot saying" series again... To be honest, after hearing it so many times, it all sounds pretty much the same—it's just about how long AI hype can last and whether the Federal Reserve will keep cutting into the retail investors. It's better to look at the data than listen to them; anyway, as long as we follow where the liquidity flows, we'll be fine.

The Fed's recent moves really could determine the second half of the crypto market... AI concepts have been hot for so long, but in the end, it still depends on how interest rates move.

I've long said that the real key to 2026 lies in the battle between AI and interest rates. Wall Street only just now realizing this, and we need to seize the initiative.

Once again, it's the macro predictions from Wall Street bigwigs... To put it simply, it's all about how the Federal Reserve acts. Who knows how long the AI hype can last?
