For those interested in investing during the next cycle, it's important to memorize this equation:
1- Low inflation + Low interest An ideal environment for sustainable growth, stability, and a healthy long-term rise.
2- Inflation equal to the interest rate A transitional phase, with oscillating upward movement accompanied by caution and skepticism about the economic situation, with uncertainty about sustainability or entering a recession—an intense period of anticipation.
3- Inflation higher than the interest rate A strong rally driven by the migration of liquidity from bonds to the markets, with accumulated risks of a later reversal when monetary tightening begins, interest rates are raised, and monetary policy changes. Yes, it's a strong upward environment, but with cumulative risks requiring vigilance from the Federal Reserve and increased caution.
- Which phase are we in now? The current inflation rate is 3%, and the current interest rate is between 3.5% and 3.75%. Therefore, we are now at the beginning of phase (2), which usually lasts from 6 months to 18 months. I don't expect it to be an optimistic period, God willing.
macro cycles - - Now, let's move to a slightly more professional phase for inflation, interest rates, and macroeconomics cycles, and I will try to simplify it as much as possible.
1 - Low inflation + Low interest Cycle duration from 2 to 6 years, and it may extend further in exceptional cycles.
- Characteristics, Real profit growth, low volatility, comfortable and non-impulsive upward movement.
2- Inflation equal to the interest Duration from 6 to 18 months - Characteristics, High volatility, conflicting data, markets test investors' patience, the most psychologically dangerous phase.
3- Inflation higher than the interest. Duration from 1 to 4 years Characteristics, Strong and rapid rise, valuation expansion, increased speculation.
How investors practically use these cycles:
- Begins accumulation and gathering from the end of (2) to the beginning of (3)
- Best timing for holding assets throughout phase (1) and during the first half of phase (3)
- Starts taking profits and increasing caution late in phase (3) at the first interest rate hike, they start spending their positions #GateNovTransparencyReportReleased $BTC
