Based on: Speculative
EUR/USD is already expected above 1.17 on September 3, 2026 (open prediction). The US dollar faces structural depreciation pressure: US headline PCE reached 3.7% YoY in July 2026 (BEA, Aug 26), and the FOMC held at 3.50–3.75% with growing hike risk (Polymarket: 31% for September). The US fiscal deficit and increasing BRICS reserve diversification weigh on the USD over the long term. A rise to 1.20 by year-end (~+2.5% above September level) is plausible, but assumes the Fed does not hike aggressively and a US recession does not force a flight to the dollar.
Data basis for this prediction
- BEA: US Headline-PCE Juli 2026 = 3,7% JVR (BEA Pressemitteilung BEA 26-39, 26. Aug. 2026)
- Polymarket: Fed-Zinserhöhung September 2026 = 31% Wahrscheinlichkeit (KuCoin/CryptoBriefing, Aug. 2026)
- EUR/USD offene Parallelprog.: >1,17 am 3. Sep. 2026 (Cassandra.news, Aug. 2026)

The ECB raised its deposit rate by 25 bps to 2.50% on September 10, 2026 – an inflation-fighting signal that provides cover for the Fed. Against a hike: a mild slowdown in US industrial output.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
