COINOTAG News, citing a Reuters survey of stock market strategists, expects the S&P 500 to climb about 12% by end-2026, with a median target near 7,490 points and a 50,566 Dow projection. The call rests on a resilient U.S. economy, robust tech earnings, and accommodative monetary policy. For the crypto market outlook, such broad risk-on momentum can sustain liquidity and inflows into digital assets, though inflows remain sensitive to inflation data and the pace of rate-cut expectations.
Among 14 respondents answering follow-ups, eight see higher odds of a near-term pullback, citing inflation and rate-cut uncertainty as key risks. In practical terms for crypto traders, macro swings may drive asset rotation, while on-chain fundamentals and regulatory clarity remain central to sustaining long-term credibility and value.
