Predicted for 31. December 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
EUR/USD trades at 1.1409–1.1413 on July 21, 2026. Drivers for further dollar weakness: (1) Fed rate-cut path expected from H2 2026 (market-implied: 2 cuts by year-end as inflation falls), (2) ECB rate hike to 2.50% in September 2026 (Polymarket ~70%), (3) Continuing Resolution instead of FY2027 budget raises US fiscal risk, (4) reduction of Iran risk premium post-ceasefire. Headwind: US PCE at 4.10% substantially limits Fed room. IMF/Bloomberg Consensus median forecast: 1.12–1.15 by year-end. No specific EUR/USD Polymarket market; calibration 45%.

Positive drivers: ongoing spot BTC ETF inflows (since 2024), institutional adoption, halving cycle tailwinds (April 2024, historically 12–18 month bull run). Countervailing risks: Iran conflict uncertainty, Fed funds rate at 3.50–3.75%, potential regulation. No direct Polymarket Dec 31 BTC market; own estimate: 52%.
